So I know I haven't been on here lately, but I'm back! Nothing new to report since the last post. Went on Christmas Break and worked all break. I got a Kindle for Christmas (which is killing my bank account) and then back to school. I'm taking 18 credits and now have a position in DG. I am the Director of Archives. AKA I create the scrapbook, take pictures, and set up composites. Mom and Allie came to visit in February and we went up the Arch since Allie claims she doesn't remember going up it.
Currently I just got back from Spring Break. All I did was sit at home, watch TV, look for puppies (Maisey died in February, not a happy time), and paint mom and dads room. Yup fun times. O and it randomly snowed 4 inches...Now I'm back at school and have so much to do. This week is anchorsplash week so I'm doing DG stuff a lot and I have a 10 pg paper, a 5 pg paper and a test all on April 5th with no time to do them. Yeah..... Well thats about it for a quick update. adios!
Escaping Reality
This blog is for my Tech Applications class at SLU, but I think I'll add some of what goes on in my life as well

Halloween Night 1
Wow I have not posted in a while! I guess because nothing has happened lately. The only excitement was that I went home for fall break and Melissa came with me. It was a lot of fun. Did a lot of shopping. Well, this weekend is Halloween weekend. Last year's Halloween was not too fun. We basically were the clueless freshmen who just wandered everywhere. So far, this year is a lot better. O by the way I am Sookie from True Blood for Halloween. I LOVE my costume (mostly because i LOVE the show....), but anywho, last night we went to an ADG party and then to a BETA party. Both were not exceptionally fun, but it was a good time.
The one thing I do not understand about college Halloween, is who determined the rule that girls must dress up for Halloween like they do in Mean Girls....its always freezing this weekend so not too fun to have a lot of skin showing....
Well, hopefully Halloween round 2 will be fun!

Busy Busy
So last week was a busy one. I had my first school observation, I found out who my little is and DG had a date dash. The school observation was really cool. I observed in a special ed class and it was very enlightening. There were two kids who had Down Syndrome and they were adorable. I definitely did not give them enough credit. They could do so much more than I ever thought. The whole experience really changed my perspective off what special ed kids are capable of.
Next came Big Little Reveal. It was where I got to reveal myself to my little. I made her a hat (the coolest one)
and then we went to Fro-Yo. It was so much fun and I love my little Theresa!!!
Now for Thursday! I went to our first DG Date Dash. The theme was Country Clubs and Gangsta Thugs. I went as a gangsta. I couldn't really pull it off, but the dance was a lot of fun. I only went to 2 last year and I'm planning on going to a lot more this year. And then for Friday it was my roommate's birthday so we had a party for her. Overall, a really fun week. Saturday I did nothing and today I did nothing as well, and I'm currently watching a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon on TV. I get to go home on Friday!!!!!! I'm so excited to see everyone and to see my dog!!! I can't wait! 5 days!!!

Werewolves
So first of all, I can't believe another week has passed. Last year was just so miserable and this year is great and is flying by. Katie went home this weekend so Caroline, Victoria and I were left to our own devices. Friday I went to Caroline and Victoria's APO dance. (DG dances are better but don't tell anyone shh!). The theme was "walk of shame". Prove to me that a guy did not come up with this theme and I'll give you ten bucks. Girls in boy's shirts, short shorts and heels. Yea tell me a guy didn't think of that one. The dance was fun and was totally beat afterwards. Saturday I did absolutely nothing during the day. Mostly watched tv then that night made dinner for a bunch of people. It turned out really great and was a ton of fun. We then proceeded to watch The Hangover. Hilarious movie btw. Caroline and I then went to Nik's apartment to watch The Wolfman. Now keep in mind that I HATE werewolves. Idk why but I'm seriously scared of them. So was pretty much terrified to watch this movie, so I just started making witty comments throughout the movie and pretty soon we are laughing more than being scared.
All in all a good weekend. I get my Little Sister for DG this week! Super excited. Only 2 more weeks till fall break and home!!!!!!!

Finding THE Cookie
For my Technology Applications Class we have to list some criteria and evaluate what makes a good chocolate chip cookie. So here it goes!
My 3 criteria:
1. Needs to be a soft cookie. You know, how it still sort of tastes like cookie-dough?
2. Needs to have quite a bit of chocolate chips. I like a cookie to actually taste like chocolate. I don't like cookies that have so few chocolate chips that you can count them.
3. Needs to stay in cookie shape when dipped in milk. I like to dip my cookies in milk and I don't like it when a cookie turns to mush.
I bought a thing of Nabisco's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. I bought them based on the "chewy" aspect in the title. And it was indeed chewy. It completely met my first standard. It was soft, chewy and a delicious cookie. The cookie also met my second criteria: it had a lot of chocolate chips! I could actually taste a lot of chocolate when I ate the cookie, and it was just enough that it didn't overpower the cookie. Finally, I dipped one of the cookies in milk. It was perfect. It didn't fall apart, and it tasted awesome with the milk. Overall, Nabisco's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies met all of my criteria. They were absolutely amazing. These cookies are definitely worth eating and I don't expect them to be around much longer in my apartment! Yum!

New Week
So my countdown to fall break has begun. only 3 weeks!!! Nothing too exciting to report this weekend. Got Ted Drews on Friday and watched the Prince of Persia. Love it!! Saturday was parents weekend lunch with my sorority, DG. My parents couldn't come/ditched me for an art fair :), so I went with some friends. We rented out Bar Louie and it was fun. They have really good food so I'd recommend it. After that I just chilled at home waiting for the fireworks show. Went over to Marchetti for the show and watched it from someone's balcony. Great view and I loved the fireworks considering it down poured for the 4th of July and there were no fireworks. Watched a funny movie that night and then slept in till 11:30. I have never slept in that late ever! Granted I may or may not have gone to bed around 3 but still!
I have two tests this week, Calc and Growth Development and Learning. Keep your fingers crossed for Calc!! Well, that's about it for me. I'm off to bed. Here's to a new week! (18 days till fall break!!)
