Self portrait

Yesterday, being yet another day of rainy boringness, did not provide many opportunities for a picture. So I made a face and snapped a picture of myself.


It's ok, although the flash on my glasses makes it look like my eyes are two different colors, which is kinda weird. I did get an idea while taking it though, so over the next few weeks I think I'll try getting some good picture of my friends and family to post up here, possibly with mini-bios or something. We'll see- just stay tuned :)

Finals

Evidence that it's finals week:

Exhibit A- Last week's schedule (with notes)


Compare to Exhibit B- this week's schedule (also with notes)


And now back to slaving away over my last paper...

Finals

This week is finals week. Which means that the library is open 24/7 and is completely packed (along with any other available place to study). I however, dislike studying in the library because it's unnervingly quiet. So yesterday after dinner, I met Jon in the student union so we could get some studying done there. Along the way, I noticed these purple spikey flowers:


Anyone know what they are? Cause I think they're pretty cool, but I have no idea what they are. Anyway, I met Jon at the union and we spent a good 2-3 hours like this:


There were so many other people walking around looking for an open place to study that when we decided we needed a snack break, I picked up drinks for the both of us. It was ridiculously busy, and it's only going to get more chaotic as the week goes on. On the bright side, I had 2 of my 3 finals today, so I've only got to take 1 more. And write a paper. But that I can do :)

Mother's Day Weekend

First off, there's no Friday post because I was sick. So moving on to the weekend...

Saturday
Since it was Mother's Day weekend, my sister Sophie, Jon, and I all came home from school. Mom made us a REALLY good breakfast on Saturday: carmel sticky rolls and an egg/hashbrown/ham/cheese dish. Then we went to the Farmer's Market, which was fun but kinda cold. Of course, I somehow forgot to bring my camera. All is well though, since I got a picture of Sophie before we left:


Yes, she let me take this picture. And yes, she told me I could post it.

Sunday
Sunday was Mother's Day of course, but since all of the Mother's Day pictures were taken during breakfast, they're not getting posted. Everyone is chewing in them and it just looks funny. So around 10:30 last night, Jon and I went to visit Ben in the arts and communication building, where he's been slaving away all weekend. This is what he's accomplished:


Just kidding. He had done a bunch of stuff for his screen printing class and was just starting this for an oil painting class. Plus there was a mess of freshly painted watercolors on his bed when we stopped by the room. I think art classes probably aren't something you should procrastinate in...

End of Year Party

During the week leading up to finals, my school has an end of year party. Last year I accidentally won a Wii. So it's pretty cool. This year's party wasn't quite as cool (no accidental raffle winning), but it was still pretty fun. I met up with some of my wonderful friends from last year, one of whom came all the way here from Green Bay for the fun.


Lindsey and Jessica :)
