pretty much my friends are the best friends a girl could ask for.
i've had so much fun this week, and it looks like there is more fun to come in the next few days :)
last night i was surprised by an office party
complete with mugs and delicious vegan birthday cake!
here's a peek:
so i sucked it up and submitted my application to grad school yesterday. if i get accepted and then if i find the money i'll be going to catholic university of america and studying to get a Masters of Arts in Moral Theology and Ethics. so we'll see about all that.
i've been sleeping a lot lately and i can feel the little hints of depression creeping into the edges of my mind. part of it's seasonal i know, but i think it's worse this year for a plethora of reasons. i need to start working out and going to yoga, it's always helped in the past. isn't it funny how you put off working out because of all the effort that needs to be put in to get around to doing it, but when you finally do it you feel amazing. silly.
oh! i also started eating cheese again. like a lot. like i killed a wedge of brie in 2 days by myself, the same goes for a box of cheez-its but those don't really really count as actual cheese. i felt like crap the first couple of days (awesome stomach pains alternating with queasiness) but i think i'm back on a fairly even keel. i'm going to try and be reasonable and avoid super processed "cheese" and try to stick to snobby cheese haha. i've been thinking about how i eat for a while and i don't think that cutting everything out is such a healthy choice. also i saw this quote that james posted on his twitter and it kind of reinforced that little kernel of "maybe this isn't such a rational idea":
"To safeguard one's health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed."
- Francios de La Rochefoucauld
so i'm going to try and keep that in mind as i try to recreate a healthy diet for myself.
as well as going through my obscenely large folder of photos of myself and deleting a lot. it's kind of strange looking how i've changed over the past fourish years (i think that's how long i've had my camera). anyway, i have officially decided that i miss being a redhead but that i definitely like my hair better when it's a dark near black color. argh! the need to change my hair itch is coming back with a vengeance. i mean i haven't changed my hair in like....MONTHS. after a steady diet of new hair every month or two it's hard to cope with. also my regular hair color is blah.
god. i'm such a brat. and i feel like a super bum because all i did today was watch law and order and not fold my laundry. haha.
ok before i end, anne hamby fiiiinally gave me some super awesome pictures including funtimes had at the Wave over winter break as well as some other quality photos. i'm only going to post a couple of the bestest ones.
happy friday all <33
Take a photo of something in motion.
Inspired by Meg.
ohhh college.
so i apologize for never updating but life is seriously crazy. i'm trying to stay on top of classes, as well as all my RA stuff annnnd do the marching virginians AND study for the LSAT. ugh. i feel so behind with everything. it's awful and i hate it.
but on a happier note. i marched my first show as a marching virginian yesterday!! and we owned Northeastern pretty hard (38-0). vt football games are amazing and being in the band made it more fun. i love dancing around like a crazy person, and now i have an excuse. my throat actually still hurts from yelling so much.
so i'm the one all the way on the right second from the front (my face is covered up with a clarinet). and what's even better is that i didn't mess up the hokie pokie! yayyyy!
sorry this has to be a quick post; just wanted to tell you i'm still alive! and that i'll try to update more often, because i love you all.
think of me tomorrow on your day off, i'll be in class (lammmme) <3s
the last few days have been probably the most stressful and sleepless days i've had in a very very long time. it started with ra training that meshed with closing for summer that meshed with opening for fall that meshed with auditioning for the marching virginians.
auditioning for marching band is something that i've talked about doing since freshman year, but have come up with an excuse not to every year. so, since it's my senior year and it's my last chance ever i decided to go for it. ok so i'm totally a deadline person, i only function well when under extreme amounts of pressure. speaking of pressure, it has been totally fun trying out since i havent played my clarinet since may 2003. i also haven't marched drill since 2002 (i was drum major my senior year). also because they had too many clarinets audition and they had to cut some...i don't know the exact number people were throwing around numbers between 7 and 14, so who knows.
so anyway. i made it!! but i'm too tired to be as excited as i should be about all of this. so give me a couple days to catch up on sleep and maybe some time to finish setting up my room and then i probably won't be able to stop talking about the band. (i know you can't wait)
also. classes start on monday. holy holy crap.
What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
the first movie i ever saw in a movie theater was the little mermaid.
i remember it pretty vividly because i was terrified of Ursula the sea witch, especially in that part at the end where she gets electrocuted and you can see her whole skeleton. yeah that image stuck with me for a while.
it was also a special event because it was one of those daddy-daughter dates. my sister was still really little and my mom was pregnant/didn't feel well enough to go or something so it was just me and my dad, which was always something i looked forward to because he was away a lot.
and all those people running around hyperfocusing on phallic symbols etc need to just chill out. it is a great movie, with some awesome songs (come on, who doesn't like "kiss the girl"?) and it always makes me cry at the end when Ariel leaves her dad and sisters.
man. i really want to go buy it on dvd now...
