Well, I'm ridiculously good at SLACKING!

I guess the whole "take a picture everyday" project kind of went down the drain. Maybe starting a few days before I moved was a bad idea! I'm sure I will try again some other time. Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while!

Here are some pictures of my new dorm!

This is my side!

right wall

this is where i keep amy's sweet gift and my awesome harry potter calendar!

aaand of course i have to have my office calendar too!

this is pretty much the only space i have to keep jackets and things

my desk

my "cave"!!

my bed is lofted. which is a bit of a pain in the butt, but i only have to get up there to go to sleep so its not so bad. but then there are those times that i hit my head when i'm underneath there... which happens quite frequently! no concussions yet though, no worries.

awesome poster i found at Michael's for $3!! it says "the wisdom of quiet moments should never go unnoticed" .... but i really just got it for the cool looking tree!

this is a view from my window!

cork board section. notice the chick-fil-a calendar! (i just love calendars!) and, in case you are wondering, the plastic bad tied to the bed is so i dont hit my head (as much)

bookshelf that mom and i assembled by ourselves!

this is my suitemate, laura! she is from connecticut.

this is my suitemate cameron! she's from north carolina and i think i'm starting to pick up her southern accent. :(

this is their room

i really like the way they decorated their room! they took scrapbooking paper and wrote verses on them and then hung them on the walls! kudos if you can guess which ones i made!

kudos here too!

Well that is Davis Hall rooms 214 and 216. My roommate has 2 jobs and is taking 17 hours so she is always busy, thus why i wasn't able to get a picture of her just yet!

HI MOM!

Well, I will try to take some pictures of the campus soon, granted that it's not raining or freezing! The weather has been very similar to Texas -- bipolar. We've had some really nice days and some really sucky ones!

Off to catch up on Fringe! :)

Well I'm lame and already forgot a day... 5 days in! Ugh. So instead I'll just put some extra pictures up for today. I did alot of shopping today. I got 2 new jackets, a pillow, and some things for my dorm room. Woo hoo! After I got home Amy invited JolieAnn and I over for dinner and it was yummy! Then I hung out with the Coopers for a while... being thoroughly entertained by Carson and Cameron. I'm going to miss them so much! :( Amy is super sweet and gave me a parting gift... a cute little piece of decor that says "chase your dreams" and an awesome picture frame! You can bet that one of these three photos below will be in that frame!

I really do just love these two to pieces!

Today I gave my sister her birthday presents since I won't be here on her actual birthday. Her present included a High School Musical plate and bowl, a candy necklace, a fuzzy pen, an Ice Age watch, and her favorite (and mine!) a Jonas Brothers poster. After her present opening, I watched her play soccer in the freezing cold.

New Project!

So my friend Laura started this "365 Project" where she takes a picture of something everyday for a year. Since I'll be away at school, I decided to start one too! I'm going to post all the pictures here so you (Mom and Amy.. ha!) can see what I'm doing everyday wherever I am.

I'm just consolidating the first three days into one post.

This morning I slept in at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's house. I went with Dad to pick up Paw Paw from the hospital. For those who don't know... My grandpa has lymphoma. He had been in the hospital for a few days because he had an infection, but got released this morning. When we got home from Waco, I listened to my new John Mayer CD, hung up my new The Office calendar, and solved a few crosswords from my new crossword book my dad gave me (because it wasn't challenging enough for him, haha).

Today we went to Waco and had Christmas with my mom's side of the family. My grandpa had to go to the hospital so instead of rescheduling we had Christmas in the lobby. It was weird, but still fun and good to see everyone. My grandma was cleaning out a closet and found all these little toys she meant to give us 8ish years ago, so she wrapped them up. It was really funny! I got a blue frog keychain with googly eyes.

For lunch we went to the Coopers house and had a yummy meal and played Sequence (where JolieAnn and I won TWICE in three rounds!). Then I came home and started cleaning my room. I worked on one area... my horizontal shelf. I did a pretty awesome job if I do say so myself, as you can see by the before and after pictures. :)
