another

Not "strange" per se but it is a recurring problem with girls at the U of A. Wearing jeans that are 3 sizes too small (causing likely unintentional muffin top) and a racer back top that exposes your midriff with your dark lace-bra peering out of the top.

hmm classy?

This outfit in question belongs today to a girl in my class, who happens to be in the sorority I belonged to. I wish she were a better representation!

Sad.
another female in question would be the girl sitting 3 rows over two people in front of me. with short shorts and tall UGG boots... Its 57 degrees out and sunny.. are you hot? or cold?

Can someone please solve this mystery?

okay
over and out

Strange outfits

Is today strange outfit day?
I seem to have seen more strange articles of clothing today than any other day.
my most recent shockers:
passing between my first and second class,

Guy wearing Jean short shorts with tight under-armor leggings underneath

Girl with black bedazzled leggings... like really bedazzled leggings all over.

and Girl with flip-flops decorated with plastic green grapes....

I'll keep my eye out for more.

could not take pictures since I was far too stunned.

So grown up

Each day that passes is another one closer to my birthday/Spring Break and ultimately graduation this December. I just recently found out, via facebook so technically I wasn't purposely informed, but nonetheless fortunately found out that my friend Kieren is going to be a mommy! I am so happy for her and I know she is going to be a great mom. Its amazing how grown up one can feel when people around them are married or pregnant or married and pregnant. How adult-y.

After I attended the real live Con Law class yesterday, I left with this excited bubbly feeling in my stomach, like maybe I CAN do this and maybe I won't be so out of place in law school. You know how you envision yourself somewhere or doing something in the future, but theres always that hesitation inside like maybe I will be awkward in that particular group of people or my puzzle piece wont fit, or I just won't feel comfortable in general? I tend to feel that way about a lot of things/places/future goals. But this actually made me take a step back and say wow, this is not as intimidating as I thought it would be, the people are really nice, and its an environment where things are discussed that truly contribute to society and the way it works here in the United States.

Its all kind of scary but so exciting too. Next step to tackle...

get into law school.


On another note, this gorgeous Gelato cake from Frost I tried last weekend was spectacular.

I might need to purchase myself one of these for my birthday coming up!! :)

exhaustion

sure takes it's toll. I am enjoying the rain however. I love the pit-pattering sounds outside.
I am so disgustingly busy these days I am forgetting that sleep is an important part of staying awake.
Tomorrow I have the opportunity to visit/sit in on a Constitutional Law class at the law school, I have two tests and a paper due this week, Aunt Sue and company coming to visit this week, Fresh Paint is this weekend, and midterms are coming up these next few weeks.

I got the internship! exciting, stressful, useful, exciting again.

tired.

Oh and as for Valentines day 2.0. I guess it won't be happening. Boyfriend already filed away my card I gave him last week.
Something that is secretly getting me down. I really wanted to be surprised, have something done just for me. Maybe just a card? but maybe that was being selfish and thats why it isn't happening. Oh well.

Hmph.

but, 19 days until my birthday and spring break.

Just gotta push through this.



p.s. the ground squirrels are back!

It is now February

And Valentine's Day has come and gone.
Boyfriend and I spent a lovely evening at home eating freshly picked up Chipotle burritos and chips and guacamole of course. I gave him the card I made and I delighted in decorating the house with Valentine cheer.
I even made hand made chocolate hearts. But I didn't have enough time to do the craft I wanted to do for his gift. So, since boyfriend decided we should celebrate Valentines Day next weekend instead, we are having Vday Take 2.

After being denied in-state residency, rejected from several scholarship applications, and generally feeling down about myself as a human being, things began to look up this past week. Just yesterday I had an interview with a law firm and was hired on the spot! I can't believe I got an internship that will actually relate to my potential future as an attorney. I say potential because we can never know what will happen when I graduate in 10 months. My first day (training) is tomorrow and I am so nervous.

(excuse me while I puke)

Anyway, I went to a percentage night for Mortar Board, something I am also interested in joining lately. I want to have something great on my resume that shows I am involved in the community beyond trying to support myself with my 3 (count them, THREE) jobs. I saw a few ADPi's at No Anchovies and it was so nice sitting and catching up with them. I forget how nice girl time is, especially girl time with ADPi sisters. I wish money didn't stop me from being a part of the sisterhood anymore. I get really sad sometimes because I get caught up in what needs to be done this week, tomorrow, and in the next moment that I forget about how much fun I had just talking, laughing, and dancing with my sisters.

I miss it.

As for MB, Working on the application is really hard when there are homework assignments burning through my planner so much so that I can smell the smoke they are creating. Each professor today in class mentioned the midterms coming up next week and the following.

I really should do some yoga.

Speaking of exercise I love my new workout DVD that I purchased on Amazon. Call me silly but I love Julianne Hough's workout videos; they are fun, she motivates me, and they kick my butt! I love trying new workout routines and this is just something fun to do when I don't feel like a run. I gotta look good if I am going to be the birthday queen in Las Vegas next month!

Another thought...

I have this dreadful stuffy nose/sneeze attack that is so frustrating and distracting its really pitiful that it bothers me so much.
It's not going away either. I am 1/2 way through a box of AlkaSeltzer Cold medicine in 3 days and still not 100%.

Time to go. I need to lay down. Tomorrow is a big day for me.
