Happy Belly

This picture pretty accurately sums up my past two weeks... Getting really excited about Christmas and enjoying the spirit, but, still alone. It definitely won't feel like Christmas until you all are back. Which better be soon.

I've eaten really well lately. Friday was our crazy Spanish party so I ate loads and loads then. Saturday night I went to the McCroskey's neighbourhood party, so I ate tons more there. Lots of delicious desserts, mmm. Sunday was Mrs. Jennifer's 50th surprise party, so again, more food. Monday the guidance office put together a really nice meal for all of the office workers so I ate lots and lots. My belly has definitely been happy. I guess its just that time of year.

I'm almost done and so excited about it. Some of my classes are pretty much done entirely for the semester, others are slowing, and others are still chugging along maniacly. Plus, I was planning on skipping monday, which is our review day for exams, since I'm exempt from all of them, but now i'm not so sure if i'll be able to. Its so dumb because I could be on break three days earlier, but a lot of my classes have things due and quizzes and stuff. And by a lot I mean Spanish (a quiz, multiple NSE's due, etc), although Huddleston is threatening to have a quiz and I'm not sure if we'll still have our weekly "White-Book Mondays" in calc. It frustrates me, because technically the teachers aren't allowed to give quizzes or anything and are only allowed to review, but all of my teachers are the ones that don't pay attention to rules.

Our spanish party was awesome, I think it went really well. I particularly enjoyed missing all of my classes and eating lots of fantastic food. Here is the final product of my window. Its not fantastic, but it was good enough. I ran out of black tape at the end so I couldn't go back and line in black the layers of mountain and sky. Ah well.

I miss you all more than you know. I hope you're all getting excited for the Holidays and I hope you have a relatively stress-free final weeks. Call me call me call me

Hey, Rainy Day

I got back to Athens and Poplar Sunday night, and spent my time getting my life organized for the school week and unpacking.  As everyone arrived back at our home, we started pulling out the Christmas decorations...we have a lot.  Christmas wreath on the front door, stars and lights hanging, and a miniature Christmas tree.  Precious.  I love the holiday feelings of being festive and cozy and all that.  I went with Olivia to her new house!  They had some furniture to move in from a truck, so I helped her organize the space and direct where the boys could move the furniture to.  Unlike Lindsey, I am not much in the muscle department.  Tseehehehehe.  Anyways, the week seems to be going by pretty fast so far.  I don't even remember Monday.  Oh wait, I do, I wrote a paper.  Later that night Becca, Ellyn, and I went to a bonfire at our old friends' house- it was so random.  The people we hung out with freshman year- Josh, Tyler, Levi, and all those guys.  It was fun to hang out since we don't really see them anymore.

Yesterday was long.  I didn't sleep well Monday night, and woke up at 6 am Tuesday, so I was tired before I even got started.  Class was boring, but that afternoon I went to a jewelry/ art sale where Livs and Kaylyn had stuff on sale.  I bought earrings that are cute.  Last night we made pasta and salad and bread for supper club and blondies for dessert.  It was a first- we had boys present.  Supper club is always girls only.  It was fine though.  I didn't have homework so we watched He's Just Not That Into You, which none of us had ever seen.  It wasn't bad.

{Also, yesterday evening I was picking up pizzas at Papa John's to drop off at Redeemer, and while there, an older 40's ish southern/ redneck man starts talking to me.  I keep in line with polite, short answers.  Then he asked me if I "go downtown" (as in go to bars).  I said, "No, not really that often."  To which he replied, "Yeah, it's crazy downtown...real crazy.  Like Disneyland with alcohol."  I kid you not.  I awkwardly laughed but didn't say anything, and then just prayed really hard that the pizzas would be ready faster.  That is my life.}

Today it's raining like crazy and I'm home- and kind of wet- from classes.  The last time I showered I was in Nashville, sick hahah.  I'll probably procrastinate/ pretend to do work this afternoon.  It's that kind of day.



I want to have Emily Haines's voice/ job.  I'm obsessing over this acoustic version lately.  Homegirl.



I miss ya'll already.  I like December.  I need to think about how I'm going to order my room once Olivia's stuff is gone...I will have much more room.  My back is sore and I have no clue why.

OMG technology
