the night of all nights.

remember how i mentioned in my last post about going to see turquoise jeep at WWU? well here is photographic evidence that i did. we almost didn't go because of scheduling conflicts, and at the last minute taylor couldn't go and bekah was able to go. so it all worked out!

the camouflage bandanas are a tribute to the 'lemme smang it' video....

i had no idea what it would be like to see a youtube sensation in real life, but it was so much better than i could have imagined. we literally laughed the entire time....

i've tried to research more about these crazy people but there is little to no literature available. i have no idea how old they are, where they're from, or what their actual names are. but that's part of the fun of it, the complete obscurity and mysteriousness.

I went with alyssa and bekah who are on my floor and daniel who lives on our brother floor. once we showed him those videos, he was hooked. also of note -- we have the same birthday. SO weird as i don't know anyone with my birthday.....

we waited in line for entirely too long both to buy shirts and to meet them. it was pandemonium. and chaotic. but it was worth it. they were super nice and seemed appreciative that we were there.

afterwards, we went to Boomers Burgers in Bellingham (how's that for alliteration ;)  which was an old-school burger place complete with a drive-in similar to sonic's....and WAFFLE FRIES. holy cow those were sooooo good. i don't know how i went 19 years without them.

my stomach hurt from all the laughing i did. i am so blessed to have friends that i can be myself with, 100%.

 bekah & i right before the show.....

 this was supposed to be a "TJ" for "turquoise jeep" but we all ended up doing it backwards hahaha

yung humma in the flesh.....

pretty raheem (looking like 90s dennis rodman) & whatchamacallit (yes, that is his "name")

 daniel, PRETTY RAHEEM, alyssa, and I

 daniel, bekah, tummyscratch beatz, alyssa, FLYNT FLOSSY and me.

daniel, alyssa, YUNG HUMMA, bekah, and me

PS: if you still have NO idea what i am talking about, YOUTUBE them! you will be both informed and entertained.

bow wow.

i have decided that when i have my own house, i am going to get a dog. 


i either want this one: (a pomeranian/husky mix)

or this one: (a welsh corgi)

i've always liked corgis (not only because queen elizabeth has one) but because they're just so cute and little. i just came across the pomeranian/husky mix, and fell in love. as cute as puppies are, i don't have the time/patience to train them, so i'd probably get one a few years old. 


a few names in the running: 
-corgi (if it's a corgi.....don't hate)
-moose
-bella
-zoe
-jack


i know i definitely don't want a big dog, because i myself find them kind of frightening and overwhelming. i also want to find a dog that doesn't bark constantly/yips unnecessarily, or one that sheds like crazy (probably unlikely).
i just had to share these adorable little furballs with you! 
i'm starting to sound like a crazy cat lady.......except i don't want any cats.




yikes.......

an update of sorts.

from L to R: 

taylor, me, alyssa, & bekah

4 of us sophomores went out to dinner on friday night......i am loving getting to know these ladies. they make me excited to live on this floor. and to be alive in general!

i apologize for not writing anything longer than a paragraph, because i'm sure you're all DYING to know EVERY SINGLE DETAIL about my life ;) but in reality, i don't have time! 

everytime i set aside time to blog, i either get sidetracked or realize i have something due the next day. even if you only look at the pictures anyway, writing everything down and getting it out of my head helps. we both benefit!

so this is my promise -- when i finally get my time/self together, i will write a more in-depth post. for your enjoyment (ha) and my sanity.

i got to see my mom (and one of my friends from age 7 and her mom) this weekend which was so wonderful. it was just what i needed - getting me through this week. love all three of them. more on that later...

events coming up this week:

-going to the zoo for my animal bio class (EW. as if i didn't hate the zoo enough, why not add a 6-page worksheet to it?!)

-going to the turquoise jeep concert on wednesday at WWU. go here or here to get a preview....

-study abroad appointment :))))))))))

-NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY. enough said.

i love each and everyone one of you! have a wonderful start to your school/work week :)

<3.

peet's coffee and tea.

study session at peet's with katie <3.

is today tuesday?

that's the question i've literally asked myself 9320862 times today. i guess it's cause i can't wait until the weekend ;)

my brother likes to say that the 3 most depressing string words in the english language are:

"Late night auditing."


i'd like to offer something similar:
"studying at 3 am."


why was i studying at 3am, you might ask? i sound like a stereotypical college student, which is strange, because this was the first time in my entire college career that i have stayed up this late doing homework - or to study. if i were going to make excuses, it's because halloween was yesterday. who schedules a test the day after halloween?! that is ridiculous. i went to "el arbol" aka katie, lindsey & abby's apartment for a festive time, complete with pumpkin pie ICE CREAM. that's right. we watched the village and ate tons of goodies - emphasis on the tons. i probably couldn't have gone to bed at a reasonable time even i wanted to due to my stomachache. what can i say, my eyes are bigger than my 
stomach.....and my sweet tooth is bigger than both combined.


and as for that test....it wasn't my worst, but it wasn't my best either. at least i know that i'm not a good test taker. there's no point in lingering on it though, right? move on with my life! i sound like my mom hahaha. 


tonight (in 41 minutes to be exact) is 1st hill's first ever SPUD shot this year. remember this? it's always interesting to see the random costumes that people come up with....i honestly have no idea what we're doing, so i should probably figure that out.


also, glee is coming back after a month-long hiatus. i am jazzed! my tuesday nights are now complete.


my last item of note: starbucks CHRISTMAS cups have officially been released. along with eggnog, peppermint, and gingerbread flavors. i cannot contain my excitement.


i hope you have a wonderful rest of your TUESDAY night :)

oh and HAPPY NOVEMBER!
