BUSY WEEK!!!!

So its been a fun and busy past two weeks!!! A few things have been going on. (the above pic is from a photoshoot i was able to go on for ALIVE, just letting you know!)

First. I have been ALL about reading. I have this new thing that I'm reading three books at a time to keep my interest. Because it seems when I only read one book, I find myself not having time and then i forget the storyline and it all goes down hill from there. But when reading three, I am kept going because I try to stay around the same page number in all three. So once I reach around 50 pages in one book, I switch to the other and so on. So it keeps me wanting to keep reading so I can get to the other books. So far I have read about 3 books I think. Which is a big thing for me since I rarely can finish a book at all! Right now I am now on the 2nd Twilight book (Full Moon), I'm starting The Uglies series, and I'm also reading Youth In Revolt. I try to find time to read whenever I'm not busy with school.

School has been insane lately. I am actually glad I took chemistry and biology last semester because it shows me it can't get any worst. ha ha. Since that whole deal, I am able to not get so stressed as easy and I am starting to get really good with scheduling everything I need to do. Pretty much just picture doing 18 hours worth of classes in 8 week period, which means TWICE as much work crammed, along with a job wendsday night and ALL DAY sunday, then put in on friday and saturday night and sometimes during the days throughout the week, ALIVE internship stuff. Its pretty fun. But again, not even close to last semester.

The only upside out of all my classes is my laid back German Baking class. Who would think such a class could be so eventful, but the first week (with 5 groups and 2 cakes each) we had no working oven, so we ran in the rain to another house on the webster campus to use theirs. Then had to run back and forth. It was interesting. But its been alot of fun since I have 3 of my friends in there also. But this past monday we found out that webster feels like we cant even use an oven now AT ALL because its a SAFETY HAZARD!! So now we have NO oven, and oh, we can't even use a microwave because thats a safety hazard also..ha. So, I'm in a baking class that we cant bake in... This past week we just watched a german movie Sissi and decorated cookies.....hmmm.. but its still alot of fun so its ok. Its just kind of ridiculous at the same time.

I also had a pretty cool ALIVE event this past week. It was alot of fun! It was a BUZZ LIST event which just means everyone who is anyone in St. Louis got invited. I dont get why more people dont go to ALIVE events. YOU SHOULD!! Most are open to the public after a certian time. Sometimes you have to pay for a ticket but its worth it! And alot of times ALIVE has an event at some club or lounge every week, so you can usually find something to do. They are full of people you can make connections with and network, but I see the same people at every party. Its kind of crazy. Like at the B event, I met some record producers, film makers, some major missouri politicians, two woman who personally worked for Fergie to produce fergies and carlos santanas line of shoes, Rams players and the list goes on. The party is full of people that would make your "degree to kevin bacon" game about 2 degrees to many celebrities and public figures in politics. But agian, no one goes, except for the same people over and over again, and the poeple invited, which being invited just means you are VIP, but everyone alot of times can still go!! Its just crazy to me. But anyway, it was a neat event to meet some of these people.

Its been a fun and BUSY past two weeks, but Its keeping me on my toes!! :) I will write again in a week or so to update you all on my interesting and eventful life in THE LOU!!

A new me!! 22!!!

So it was my birthday January 31'st and it was great!! I am now 22, but I don't feel any older. I think I will once I am officially out of college and trying to start up my own studio, but until then..

My birthday dinner was at this german resturaunt Saint Louis Gust Haus. It is really really good, but hopefully wasn't too fancy for a birthday dinner. I think everyone liked it. Not everyone could make it, but they all had valid excuses so its fine, I still had a great birthday!

The next day on sunday I had to work from 12-9 in the darkroom, but this girl Ashley I worked with made me my favorite cupcakes (up above). Then me and Kholood (another girl I work with) ordered TONS of food and she brought TONS of food and we watched the superbowl. Which was I have to admit, pretty good (except the commercials). So overall my birthday weekend was very very good!

It also snowed the week of my birthday. ALOT. ha. It snowed for about 3 days and we got about (i think) a foot and a half of snow. I loved it, except for the many times I almost got in car wrecks. But all is well, my car surprisingly does really well in the snow and ice. AND PLUS, school was canceled 2 days, which was amazing, cuz I got to catch up on sleep.

Another few things really fast. I got published on the front page of our school newspaper that my friend Alex Bates interviewed me for. I also fought on the phone with Adobe telemarketers and actually got my way (a photoshop update) which was amazing and very different for me cuz im a pushover. I was proud of myself. I also have been reading like crazy, hopefully will finish my 2 and 3rd book tonight at work. I also have been going crazy with school, added another class, officially taking 20 hours this semester! YES TO STRESS!!! I also have decided to walk across the stage and graduate! ha. AND, (here is the great ending) Kapper pooped ALL OVER MY BED while I was sleeping, and my room!! woohoo!! ha. ugh, its been a very event fulfilling past two weeks.

Next week we will have more!!!
Come back and have your little dose of me!! ha

IM COMING BACK!!!

Sorry about the lack of writing this past month! I have been doing finals for school, which, looong story but quick short ending, DONE WITH CHEM AND BIO!!!! :) But after finals I went home to Norman, Oklahoma for a day, then went down to San Antonio for Christmas. From there I went o Dallas to spend a week with my sister, well more like Fort Worth. It was soo much fun!! I love spending time with my sister because its really the only time all year we really get to hang out and catch up. It was awesome seeing her. Derek also came down to Fort Worth to spend New Years with us, and it was so fun spending our first together.The weather was so warm down in Tejas that when I started going back up north, the normal 50 degree weather that was always so nice started becoming terribly cold!!

I got back to Norman and got to see my two friends Keely and Meag. They are my two bestest friends and will be for the rest of my life. I also saw my great friend Kelsey and hung out with my good friend Mia and Lauren. We did are nightly movie nights which are always relaxing. Sipping hot tea and talking about books (thanks mia). I also had some quality time with my Mom which was nice, but never long enough. Even though I wasn't able to spend to much time with any of my friends, it was still better seeing them for a few hours than not at all! I miss all of them so much!

When I got back to St. Louis, school started, sucks, and the weather every day for the first week was below zero. What a great welcoming back right? ha. But it was nice to be back, and not to live out of a suitcase. School isn't nearly as bad as it was because well, im not doing Bio and Chem at the same time!! I still have my work cut out for me because all my classes practically are 8 weeks, so all my work is jammed, but not NEARLY as bad as last semester. Now that I'm back and mostly settled I will try to work on writing on this more often!! So start checking back on my blog regularly!!!

LOVE YA ALL!!!
