Thunder Storms and Rain

Today I got to listen to it thunder pretty much for the entire day! I was probably the only CSULB student walking around smiling as it started to downpour and lightning was cracking overhead.  I love storms and I love this weather!  It needs to stay exactly like this until at least March of next year.

The girls and I are staying warm in our apartment by lighting our fire and eating chicken pot pies.  My hell week is still going on, although it got a little easier because I met with my group and knocked out a midterm.  All that's left are my two group presentations on Thursday which I'll finish and perfect tomorrow.  Hopefully both of them will go super smooth.  Hope you guys are having a good week! Tomorrow is hump day and we'll be that much closer to the weekend!

Hell Week

This weekend has officially started my hell week.  I have more homework, presentations, and tests this week than I will any other week this semester.  I'm quite honestly freaking out, but I've reached that point where I'm too stressed and too tired to keep studying or trying tonight.  Not to mention that physically my body is aching and emotionally all I want to do is cry.

Hope everyone had a better weekend than I did!

Four

I was reading Meg's blog today and came across this and decided to do it since I can't think of anything particularly witty to write.


4 Things I Did Today: 
1. I worked and had eight clear ups by the time I had worked four hours. (I had 15 in 6 hours last night!)
2. Learned a lot about online dating for my group presentation/research paper.
3. Watched "The Fox and the Hound" for the first time in years and laughed a lot. Then watched "Lambert the Sheepish Lion" and about died laughing.
4. Check my phone for no reason more than I do normally....just wishing he would call even though it's very late.


4 Things On My To Do List:
1. Finish the mountain of homework that is all due next week tomorrow and Monday.
2. Vacuum my room and living room before the roomies get home tomorrow.
3. Do the dishes that are in the sink.
4. Rest.


4 Guilty Pleasures:
1. Reading taza's blog
2. Disney movies
3. Nicolas Spark's books...especially when men in uniform are involved.
4. Anything coffee.

4 Random Facts:
1. I don't think I dress like an adult and long for having the money to update my wardrobe.
2. If I could have anything alcoholic to drink it'd be a beer. I like it even though most people I know don't.
3. I sleep half way down my bed with my feet planted firmly on the foot board...every night.
4. The weather has been gloomy the last few days and it's made me incredibly happy.

I Can't Wait For This...





Make fun if you want, but I think it's gonna be great and I can't believe how much I like her song!

There's No Fire!!!

I thought I would share with you a particular incident that has happened to me three times since moving into our apartment!! 

My bathroom is tiny.  Super tiny, so when I take a shower with the door closed it gets very steamy and I can't see the mirror when I get out.  However, if I take a shower with the bathroom door open, way less steam which makes getting ready easier.  Make sense?

Anyways, so these three times that I've taken a shower and this incident has happened, I've been mid shampoo or, like today, mid shaving my legs and my smoke detector has started to go off.  Yes, my smoke detector!  So I've had to fly out of the shower, grab a towel, and try to shut the dang thing up, which only happens when I unplug it, three times now!

I don't understand it. There's no smoke, my room isn't super steamy, and it's just ridiculous! I'm afraid someone's gonna hear it and call the fire department for no reason.  Ah!

Just thought I would share. It's Friday so.... Happy Start to the Weekend!

P.S. I don't think my smoke detector's cute.

Thoughts and Such

I want to go home.

I'm jealous that Hannah gets to go home this weekend.

My baby brother turned thirteen years old a few days ago.

I'm happy we went grocery shopping.

Carmel Apple coffee creamer was a good idea in theory.

This weekend is going to be spent working and doing lots of homework.

Plane tickets should be cheaper.

Gilmore Girls makes me laugh a lot no matter how much I've watched it.

I'm tired.

PS: My sister, Candace, takes amazing pictures.

The Pike and Other Shenanigans

Last night Corinne, Kacey, Hannah, and I decided that we were going to go get some dinner out since we were all starving.  Chilis is having that amazing 2 for $20 dollars deal so we totally took advantage of it.  It was the first time we had all been out to an actual sit down dinner together and it was a lot of fun.  The Pike is a really cool place to eat and walk around, if you're in the LB area you should check it out.


Walking across the bridge.

The rest of our evening was spent at our house.  We swam in the pool, did homework, watched part of "The Swan Princesses" and then switched to "Anastasia", took pictures with fake mustaches we got at Ralph's, and laughed a lot.  I think the following picture is going to be one of my favorites. We were tired and giggly and it was awesome.

Missed Alarm and The Result

I slept through my alarm this morning.  Probably didn't have the volume up loud enough to compete with my two fans that work overtime throughout the night to keep me cool.  So no church for me today, which actually made me a little sad.  When I realized I'd never make it in time I went back to sleep for a little bit and then I got to wake up to some pretty cute text messages from my boyfriend (insert smile here).

My morning has now been spent reading some new blogs that will most likely become favorites and drinking coffee.  I would say that it's a wonderful way to spend a fall morning, but it's probably going to be eighty degrees today, so it's just a wonderful way to spend a weekend morning. Happy Sunday!

Fall

I think it's one of my favorite seasons.  I've been looking at fall clothes online and I can't wait for this dang hot weather to end!  A few nights ago we decorated for the season/Halloween.  Is it just me or do we also have a giant "M" in the window?




Sorry for the quality, my real camera is dead.



Hope you guys have an awesome weekend!
