I quit NaNoWriMo. It was killing my soul to do it and it's killing my soul not to do it, but I had to choose the path that would prevent me from causing physical harm to inanimate objects during Thanksgiving break. In a strange turn of events, I've been doing a whole ton of other writing, which...

Studio Dress was yesterday--the Nutcracker has finally been assembled! Now come the daily run-throughs. Maybe I'll put a schedule up of what we did during Studio Dress, but now I want to talk about my friend's birthday and what's going to happen today. So my friend turned twenty! It was incredibly...

Dressing up in costumes is the most renowned college Halloween festivity, but I am here to make a case for an under-appreciated seasonal favorite: carving pumpkins, an activity beloved by social chairs of college clubs everywhere. It seems that every organization I am in decides to host a pumpkin carving...

Writing the words "writing" and "Boy Scouts" next to one another made me realize I should somehow include Boy Scouts in my NaNoWriMo novel. I'm wearing my beautiful new NaNoWriMo 2009 shirt . (Thanks, Dad!) That's right. It's November 1, and it's a mark of how much...

Because we pharmacy kids get no social time whatsoever (HA! just look at all of the Facebook browsing in class!), Lindsey and Kelsey invited me over for pumpkin carving. Thankfully, Meijer labels things, otherwise I would have thought I was purchasing an orange. (Note the ridiculous battlescar. My pumpkin...

The weather = gorgeous. Despite the rain, I've been enjoying the great outdoors because it's been warm enough to venture out in jeans and short sleeves. And since the rain held off last night, it was just about perfect for roasting marshmallows! S'mores? In a residence hall? Sort of. I've...

College is great. You'll hear that from everyone, even me, but I would be lying if I said there weren't things I missed about high school and life before college. What I miss most is: -Books. Not school books but novels and stories. Sure, I read them for class and such but I rarely find the time...

Fall Break! I'm typing this in the lovely town of Richmond, Virginia. If you want to know more about this totally awesome place, you can watch this video my parents showed me the other week, which is pretty much the bee's knees. Anyway, it's been raining lightly/misting/sprinkling ever since...

I am 18! How exciting! I started off this very important day with a shower... I don't know why I am sharing this with you but... alas, I am. I had class from 9-12 and had lunch with the girls. I took time to watch, embarrassingly enough, the Hannah Montana movie (I cannot believe I am admitting this...

Let me start this off by saying that it finally feels like fall. It's lovely. As I look back on all the time I have already spent here, I thought of all the things that I have learned in the past few weeks... thing I wish I had known before I started school. I don't want to leave everyone in...

One of the things that the juniors and seniors at Butler are most proud of is our status as children of the 1980s. Yes, we are the babies of the decade, and we really don't have too many coherent memories from it, but it still makes us feel way more retro and cool to say we lived in such a ridiculous...

My goodness. Where have I been? Well, I've been all over the place! Monday- Had lunch at Alpha Chi Omega and had a ton of fun. The girls there are absolute sweethearts. Granted, I haven't had lunch at any of the other houses but... well, so far, they've got my vote. Immediately after lunch...

So, what's the deal with Movement Choir? I know I've mentioned it several times, but I've not explained anything to you. That's because: A. I'm lazy and it takes some explaining; B. I wanted to wait until after the show so I could tell you how it went; and C. It feels like all I've...

This morning, I went to my very first tailgate! There are Faculty In Residence (FIRs) who live in the residence halls at Butler. Last year, I participated in several FIR activities like the midnight pancake feast, the bonfire and hayride, the going as a group to see a theater department production only...

If you read my last blog post , you'll know I went with some fellow dance majors to see Indianapolis City Ballet's Gala Performance. Indy has been without a ballet company for quite some time, and it was my understanding that Saturday night's show aimed to raise the funds and awareness necessary...
