i get by with a little help from my friends

oh,what

a

great

weekend <3

insult to injury

i cannot even fathom the events that have unfolded tonight.

could we possibly be free, barely scathed?

celebrity encounters

you might be wondering why this is my picture of the day. i'll get to that in a second. jenny and i started out our day by hitting the road at 4am. fast forward twelve hours we arrive in wilmington, north carolina. after getting dinner, we were walking around downtown and decided to get ice cream. whilst in line, jenny called my name and directed my attention towards the person in front of us in line. IT WAS CHAD MICHAEL MURRY. aka, this handsome broody man on the left who committed the unforgivable crime of infidelity against the amazing sophia bush. nevertheless he is extremely hot and made eye contact with both jenny and me. we probably would have said hi if he a) weren't a cheating dog & 2) wasn't with his teeny bopper toothpick of a girlfriend.

what a great week this shall be :)

far away places

long time no updates. today i went to boston to visit my mom (who is there on business) and britt! we went to the north end/mikes pastries and stuffed ourselves with italian food. i was in a major food coma on the train ride home.

i took this picture a while ago, my friend marissa went abroad last semester and sent me the coolest postcards, and so i became inspired. not only to take pictures of her sweet postcards but to go abroad myself. so tomorrow im mailing in my application for three different study abroad programs for this summer. im applying to a liberal arts program in london, one in stirling, scotland, and one in australia. yay for culture and travel!

speaking of travel, spring break is coming up next week. jenny and i are driving to north carolina to stalk film crews, hang on the beach, be in warm weather, have some road trip fun, and possibly be extras on one tree hill? we'll sign autographs on a per request basis :)

my phone is haunted.

i swear i'm not insane, and this is my proof. for the past few weeks, at midnight, my phone's calender event alarm goes off. When I click on "view event," it says january 23rd, 1896. This especially creeps me out because it happens at midnight when i'm generally in bed/getting in bed and by myself. This is so freaking weird I don't even know what to say. i'm taking my phone back to verizon, showing them this picture and refusing to leave without a new, unhaunted phone.

my phone is so possessed. 

flowers & butterflies

this morning i woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. i didn't even know we we're supposed to get any, it was great! this weekend was so much fun, i love not having friday classes because that means a three day weekend! I've decided that I'll use today to do some laundry, catch up on reading and homework, and hang out with hot chocolate and watch the snow fall :) 

Anyways, explanation for the picture: these are currently my two favorite things on my desk. the dried flowers i got from matt a few months ago and below them is my journal which has a quote that i love on the cover; "just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." before i end this i just wanted to say HI MEL! i'm not really sure why you can't email me (so frustrating!) but I love that you're reading this now and I can keep you updated through here :) I hope everyone is enjoying their lazy sunday like I am. 

curiosity never killed the dog....

started classes this week. i'm taking germs, family relations, psychobiology, and animal cognition. the latter two will be my hardest but hopefully cutting back hours at work will keep stress levels at a minimum. im going to miss this dog. she's comic relief like nothing else.
