It's that Time Again!




Well my favorite part of the semester is finally here... finals!!! Ug! Actually there's nothing I dread more but it's just something ya gotta do. I have three huge projects that I have due in the next week and a half and I'm freaking out already! Today I had to wade out in knee deep snow to take pictures. Not fun. It showed me just how out of shape I really am. I was out of breath after about 30 seconds of trudging through the white stuff. I just hope I can make it through the next few days without losing my mind. I have a bunch of pots from my ceramics class this semester so if you guys want any, feel free to take some. Three of them are actually in a show right now in the library so that's pretty cool. Here are some pictures from Jared's wedding, enjoy!

Guitars Unplugged Take 2


Hello everyone. Well that time of the semester has come around. My friends and I got into GU again and we'll be performing Thursday night. If we get into the Best of show we'll be playing Saturday, so we'll see what happens. We'll be performing "Run" by Collective Soul. I'm a little more nervous than last semester because Hailee is in Vegas student teaching so we have a new member of the group. I don't think we're quite as strong as we were last semester but we'll see how it goes. As long as none of us forget the words I think we'll be OK!

Back to the Burg

Hello all! So I'm back from New York and came through unscathed! It was an awesome experience and so much fun. NYC is the craziest place on earth I've decided. Crazy drivers, crazy subways, crazy people... I could go on. There was so much to do it was almost overwhelming. We went to tons of different galleries and museums. My favorite was the Metropolitan, it was awesome! So much to see, and I know I probably only saw about a 1/3 of what was there. The place is huge. We also had the opportunity to go to a commercial photographer's studio and see how she works. That was a great experience. The last full day of the trip we went to the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, and China Town. Now I thought Manhattan was nuts, but it doesn't even compare to China Town. Vendors get up in your face trying to sell you their fake brand name merchandise. I'm not gonna lie, bartering was pretty fun. Although I don't think I'm very good at it. I realized that most New Yorkers are very rude. We met a couple of very nice people, but for the most part the people were very pushy and inconsiderate. I'll have to tell you all the stories later, but I guess that's one reason why I don't mind living in a small town. Most people are usually considerate of how they treat others. Very unlike New Yorkers. I think that was really the only part of the trip I didn't like. Well that, and the fact that we had the most annoying guy on the face of the planet in our group. If you don't believe me you can just ask Jared, he'll vouch for me. I'm still kind of recovering from the time change and trying to catch up on a weeks worth of homework, which is about as exciting as it sounds ;)
