Tantum Trepidationem

Finally, I can sit down and blog. It feels like it has been forever since the last one but I've been busy! Life happened! (giggles)

So last week was filled with homework and projects that were due so I was going crazy trying to get those done. It's been tough to get a work out in and I'm not proud to say that I haven't gone to the gym since last Monday when I went 8.5 miles while reading a book for class. It was hard to do an I'm not sure that I'll do it again because of the difficulty level involved.

The weather has been an absolute rollercoaster!! One day I'm shivering and the next I'm sweating! It's completely not fair and not normal. It's even taking a toll on my body in the form of some really nasty allergies. I nearly don't want to go to classes because I'm dreading the moment that I have to step outside and my nose becomes a torture device of epic proportion. From dripping snot (embarassing) to not letting me breathe and giving me a headache and a sore throat from the sniffles and sneezes. So somedays I lose my voice and being a language major that makes life a great big ball of joy.

On a better note, I went to Ginny's (on of my best friends on campus) house in Cleveland over the weekend to celebrate her birthday with her family and her boyfriend Chuck (the magic dragon as I call him giggling). Friday night we went to see the Hunger Games!

I can't tell you what happens because it would ruin it for those silly people who haven't read the book but I can tell you that if you read the book you'll know what happens and you'll probably like it. That is unless you start to think about the things that the movie didn't get in.... If you didn't read the book, then you should probably do that so that the movie makes sense and stop crying about me saying that I bawled when Rue died.

Oooopppsss......I guess that I just did what I said I wasn't going to......

JUST GO READ THE BOOK!!!!!

On Saturday we got up and went to Perkin's for breakfast....

I enjoyed my splurge for the week on this alone.....

Then we headed to the Art Museum where we got to be really fancy and look at some super awesome--I mean, some very well done and thought provoking art.

Like this door 

 Or this man under a table

 This is a postcard of the Art museum itself.....very pretty....

This is a postcard of a Picasso painting that they had in the museum where you weren't actually allowed to take pictures.... 

And this is also a postcard of a a ginormous painting that even if I wanted to photograph, I would have to stand across the room from to get it all in the shot...

Saturday night we did the whole birthday cake and ice cream thing with her family and Chuck's family too. Chuck's sister made the cupcake cake that looked like this before we ate it...

I think it's adorable!

I had my first Auntie Anne's pretzel and we found this bumper sticker which made me laugh.

If you don't know what this is refering to then you're a muggle and it's okay. We love you anyway. You keep us in our own special world where magical things happen. (giggles)

In other other news, 

                      Incase you haven't heard

KENTUCKY WON!!!!

Of course, I was doing homework diligently while the game was on and fell asleep before it finished due to being responsible and having class at 8 am the next morning....but still. I'm happy that dad's happy and if dad's happy then it must be pretty good. :)

In other other other news,

I'm on the last step in the waiting game that is my application to study abroad in Wales next fall for the year. I had to apply to BG and get interviewed and have two letters of recomendation and all that good stuff before making it to the Aberystwyth University application process. 

BG waived the interview process though because, I know the director of the study abroad department, I have great grades, and because my letters of recomendation and letter of intent were superb....to use a word that sounds fancy and smart....

So I'm crossing my fingers and toes and arms and legs and everything for good news from Aberystwyth University, which will contact me directly before the end of the month. 

It's so nerve wracking!!!! I want to know like a month ago!

But they do say the best things are always worth waiting for, so who knows what adventure I'll have come next fall besides the whole turning 21 thing....

Man I'm old.

Anyway,

I think I've wasted enough of your time. 

as always,

Blessed Be!
