10 things since last week.

1. Finals are over. yay!

2. I just spent the last two hours trying to figure out how to make a photo collage on my Mac.
No luck. I'm frustrated.
Someone please tell me how.
Because of this, you get no pictures.
NO PICTURES!

3. The weather this week was wonderful.
We took a study break on Tuesday to go out to dinner. And then dessert.
(Yes, I have pictures but I want to make a photo collage with them first)

4. At about 10 pm last night, I got a phone call from my estranged landlord announcing that she is coming over to do cleaning checks.
THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
In the three years that I have lived in this apartment, she has never done anything like this.
So, we spent hours and hours cleaning every square inch of the apartment.
The place was spotless.
She came in and looked at ONE room. That's it.
On the bright side, the place looks fantastic.

5. Afterwards, we decided to celebrate out awesome roommate cleaning.
We went to dinner. And did other awesome things.
(Yes, I have pictures but you don't get to see them until I figure out how to make them into collage form)

5. If you know me, you know that I wear black. A lot.
Awhile back a friend dared me not to wear black for an entire week.
Success.
It wasn't easy though, I don't have many colored items.
The moment the week was up though, I went right back to wearing all my black.
But, I decided I need to expand my wardrobe so I went out an bought a new shirt today.
It's pink.

6. Michelle got a root canal. haha.

7. My dear friend Mari-Michelle had a birthday last week.
She had a rockin' party and the best part was that it was catered.
Great food.
I discovered "cake balls" for the first time ever. Delicious.
Cake balls. Look them up. Make them.
(Yes, I have pictures, but I do not have a collage)

8. Dr. Macedone had a "Fear Factor" party for the Chemistry TAs.
You were supposed to bring a date. Since my significant other lives in Oregon, I asked Ally to be my date.
She stood me up.
So, I was set up with another TA who didn't have a date.
His name was Jubal.
The party was a blast, though. It really was.
(Pictures? yes. Collage? no)

9. Erik finally convinced me to go rock climbing with him.
I was so stressed out and was emotional/bratty the entire time.
Now I feel bad.
I will go back with him another time to redeem myself.
Also, when he picks me up to drive me to the airport tomorrow morning, I will have breakfast for him.

10. Tomorrow I am flying to Washington.
Then a week later I am going to Portland.
That weekend I am going to California.
Then I'm going back to Portland to stay until mid-June. Yay!


P.S. This post is WAY to long. Sorry about that.

Finals Begin.

Lunch with Ally + Pedicure with Mari-Michelle = 95% on Final

Don't know how I managed that one...

He sent me flowers.

What a nice boy I have.(Special thanks to Thamina for being the delivery girl)

Portland with Paul.

Paul and I make a good team.
He provides the good description of what we did on our most recent trips on his blog.
I provide the pictures on mine.
So take a look at the pictures from my weekend in Portland here.
And read about it here.

(I realize that I am being extremely lazy here, so I will most likely provide a greater account of my trip later... if you ask)

Is it bad that...

When I went to Nordstrom today, all the employees knew me by name?

And they took the liberty of picking out some clothes for me to try on because they know what I like to wear.

You would be proud to know that I did not buy a single thing.
In fact, I even returned a pair of jeans.

April.

It is the middle of April, and there is a blizzard outside.

Mother Nature needs to chill out.

Daily Universe.

Yesterday when I went to grab a newspaper on campus, all of them were gone.

Instead, there was a sign that said they had all been removed because of a misprint.
Later that day, I found out why:

Instead of Apostles they accidentally put Apostates.
Big difference.
The official statement of the Daily Universe was that it was a spell check error.
haha.
