Introducing Stanley!!

So I know I've been neglecting my blog lately seeing as I let Halloween pass without posting my costume or anything like that so I figure I'll have to recap and make it up to you all.

First for the recap I think.

That way I still have to torture you with reading my life before you make it to figuring out what my title means.

Alright, so my last post was Sweetest Day. I have been up to a few things since then. That you could probably tell from my lack of posts but I swear that I have legitimate excuses.

Alright so starting with my roses... My "sweetie" bought me roses for sweetest day. He came around that evening before heading to work to give them to me. It was seriously romantic.

Aren't they pretty?

That week was going by pretty normal after that. Nothing really interesting. I mean school work was killing me slowly and I auditioned for a fashion show but nothing too special happened that week. I also aced a Roman Studies test with 99/100 points before extra credit was figured in and that made me happy. I'm feeling pretty good about this semester to tell you the truth.

What? You want me to go back to the audition part?

Since you asked.

Yes, I auditioned for a fashion show. It's a curvy girl's fashion show and I felt so sassy about it that I went in feeling like I owned the world. I thought it was pretty funny after I came out. I was sure that they wouldn't pick me in a million years. I even got silly enough to take the following beauty shots when I got back to my room and into pajamas...

Yeah, that was silly but I was in a good mood so don't judge me...

Let's see, Friday night, I celebrated Mary's 21st with her and had a great time out on the town with all my friends who I don't get to see quite as much as I'd like to. I find it funny to know that the saying about making friends your freshman year of college has rung true with us. Harshman Chapman first floor.... good times girlies.... good times.

Sunday, I had dinner with my roommate and my newest international friend Daniel from England. He's a totally great guy and I'm glad to have met him. I think that I might have actually spent more time with him in the week that he's been here than anyone else.... but that's not a bad thing. We've had some great adventures and great conversations over good food.

He even came bearing gifts!!!

Anyone interested in having an international friend, I'm tagging him when I post this to Facebook so you can look him up and tell him you're a friend of Becca's. I promise he's a great guy.

Tuesday night was the French House Halloween party, for which I made witches brew. It turned out really good and I might make it again sometime. I found it funny that the literal witch was making witch's brew and it put me in a sort of humorous mood.

I didn't really have a costume. I'm not good at it like my brothers are so I just decided to celebrate by being the pagan girl I am. I made a circlet of leaves and fall flowers and wore a black top, calling it "The Spirit of Samhain" in honor of the holiday itself.

On Wednesday, I proved I was going to be a rockstar by doing amazing on my exam in my guitar class. It was super exciting. Now, I just have to figure out how to do this well on the final exam.... I'm sort-of nervous about it to tell you the truth.

You know, I forgot to add in Monday morning..... I'll jump back just to tell you that I was informed on Monday morning that I was chosen to be in the fashion show. There's a meeting next Wednesday night.

Thursday night I went to a jazz guitar recital with Daniel. It was pretty cool. One of the performers reminded me of my brother which was slightly odd but cool at the same time. One day I'll be good enough to play with them....

Friday, I opened a Kinder Egg to find my new best friend. His name is Stanley, he's adorable and we're going to have great adventures together. If you're on Facebook then you already know about him because I've posted a bunch of pictures of him already. I'm sparing the readers of this blog because I've already put like ten pictures in this post alone...

This is Stanley though.

I think that sums up a lot of things that have happened. School work will have to get done tomorrow since I put it off today in favor of staring at the ceiling and wishing I were a cloud.... I know that sounds weird but I'm a weird person so that is honestly what I was doing today.

I'm at my grandparents' house next weekend and then two weekends after that is Thanksgiving weekend so I get to go home finally! I'm hoping to get someone to come with me but I'll probably come up with my grandparents. I'm still excited to see my friends and family. Cassi and I are already promised to spend time together and I got a maybe from Sara so that's good enough for me!

I'm also super excited to see my dad's handy work in the basement. He has been working on building a bar since I left for school and due to technical difficulties, I haven't seen it yet. I'm sure it looks great though because my dad is super awesome at stuff like that.

Wish me luck on my two presentations this week!

And as always,

Brightest of Blessings!
