Things that happend over break: a photo diary

I got to hang out with these awesome fellas. My nephews are the greatest, mostly because they let me get away with still playing Legos at the age of 21.

I got to see this handsome dude--my big brother!

I got my wisdom teeth removed (finally). Sock full of ice saved my life.


I got my nose pierced. (Thankfully I have a very open minded place of employment and the field I'm entering is also an open minded one.)

I WON A 9000 DOLLAR JACKPOT AT THE CASINO. OH MY GOODNESS! (Unluckily, it will all be going to graduate school, haha.)

Hi all! Wow! The school year returned after break with a bang, and I owe you some blog posts! First, I’ll tell you about my first official dinner party ever at my tiny apartment!
This Christmas was a “kitchen christmas” for me. You know you’re getting old when you start getting really excited about receiving kitchen supplies for holiday gifts. Anyways, armed with some awesome knives and new cookware, I began planning my dinner party!
I planned the party around some other exciting news, which I don’t think I mentioned last semester—Transy now has an official chapter of the international English honorary Sigma Tau Delta, and I am among the founding members! The English department tends to stay pretty close, so of course I wanted my first dinner to be a gathering of the new Sigma Tau Delta members and a few other literature lovers .
I managed to cram 9 people into my teeny tiny apartment, and we feasted on a meal of mushroom and cheese stuffed eggs, quinoa and corn salad with feta and mint, vegetarian chili and garlic and chive fried bread.
I love feeling close enough to my classmates to be comfortable stuffing my apartment full of different personalities. I do believe I will have a hard time topping this party!
