Happy Monday!

Summer ♥

This summer has probably been the best yet, even though I spent 9 weeks with smelly boys while I worked at a Boy Scout camp. I met some of the craziest and best friends I could imagine and got to spend sometime with old (and still dear) friends.

My summer started off with a somewhat impulsive idea to cut off what was left of my hair.

(Me at the Nasher in Dallas)

Next stop was Boy Scout Camp.. I taught the Art and Pottery merit badges. I got paid to do what I love. The kids had some crazy project ideas, for the decorative project. One boy made a really awesome Minecraft creeper and I asked him to make me one since he finished early. It'll make a nice geeky addition to my dorm decor this year.

I had a little bit of time to work on my own projects and chill in my hammock by the lake on the weekends.

Skyler and I went on a date one Friday. We drove up to the top of the scenic drive with pie from Pam's Diner and milk cartons from the EZ Mart. We got there as the sun was setting and a storm was rolling in. There was lots of lightening but it was really pretty. Once it got dark we couldn't see anything but it stopped raining so we drove to Arkansas just because.
On our other weekends off we'd go to Arkansas with our friends, we'd hit up walmart or target, the movies, and we always ended at Starbucks for a wifi party and good coffee (neither which are readily available at camp). Every weekend was a new adventure.

 

Now that I'm home I've been a bit crafty and artsy. This is a mug I wrote on for Meegan. (We have a bit of a Jane Austen obsession.) (DIY: Sharpie on a mug, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, dishwasher safe)

Off looking for adventure--♥kb

February?

So this year is already going by fast. Maybe it's just because this semester is so busy. In April the sophomore review will be happening for design majors and we'll see who will go and who will stay. I think I'm safe, but it never hurts to be over prepared.
This semester is really hectic with all the tests and papers I have to do. I have at least one test each week, except for the week before spring break. I spent a lot of time at the coffee shop studying so far this semester. It's paying off too, all A's on my first round of tests. (Except Astronomy I should say but a 75% equals an A. So my 76% means I got an A.)
Since my last post, I got a job working for the O'Colly as a cartoonist and I also was hired to work at a Boy Scout camp this summer. It'll be interesting but I'm sure it'll be fun. (crossing my fingers to teach the ceramics merit badge)
Tonight after cov, I'm educating my Phamily with Pride & Prejudice (2005). I love that movie.

Here are some pictures from what I've been up to.

Hello 2012 :]

Well 2012 is going to be a great year (and not the last year). I've got my 365 going since October, laptop has not crashed yet, pulled awesome grades last semester, looking at a tough-but doable semester, I get to cook all my meals this school year, and now I'm engaged. I spent part of my weekend rearranging my dorm-room, I needed a change of some sort. So far I really like it.
