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...

Hello friends! Sorry it's been awhile between posts... I've been on the road once again. The end of my Texas trip was fabulous! Maybe I will post some of those pictures later this week. Now I am home at my family's house in Naperville, Illinois enjoying a few days with them between flying...

The past few days of summer '09 have been quite different from the preceding 9 weeks. Since being back home, I've had non-stop leisure time... including softball games, bike rides, hot-tubbing, laying by the pool, reading for fun, and hanging out with all my best friends I'd been missing...

It's finally Friday! Almost time to put research aside for a few days to simply enjoy the summer. Tonight I'm going out to eat with my family for my Dad's birthday. It's nice that Butler is close enough to home that I can meet up with everyone for occasions such as this. New Pal is only...

Tonight I'm heading back to NP to hang out with some of my best friends from high school at a bonfire! Since I'm living at Butler this summer, I haven't gotten the chance to see most of them in a while so I'm really excited! We're having a little cook-out at my friend Alissa's...

I just finished up my last final about an hour ago... I made it through another successful semester at BU! It's funny because in the past hour I've experienced a complete change in attitude. Throughout this entire week I was so ready to go home. I am completely burnt out on studying and thrilled...

It's finally starting to warm up a bit here in Indy, thank goodness! I am so tired of the winter cold, especially after spending a week in the blazing sun of FL. I took my winter coat home this weekend as a formal goodbye to the snow, in exchange for the shorts and tank tops that accompanied me back...

So, I hate to admit it, but I have been extremely lame this spring break! With the exception of some fun NUVO internship activity and putting the final touches on my story which will run next week (YAY!), my spring break life quickly disintegrated into a lot of studying and hanging out with small children...

Bonjour from Paris, friends! You may have been wondering why I've been MIA for like two weeks now... has my life in Spain really gotten THAT boring that I had nothing to write about? Actually quite the opposite... more travelling, spending every possible second in Madrid, FINALS (ugh, yes, we still...

Are any of you familiar with the old jazz tune "Autumn Leaves"? When I was in the Bluecoats colorguard this summer, it was our corps song, so I got to know the words quite well. My favorite is the line "I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall." Well, autumn...

Let me first start by saying I'm writing this from HOME! Yes folks, that's right. I have once again made it back to good 'ol Fremont, Indiana. It's the first time I've been home since the very beginning of August! I guess that just goes to show how much fun Butler can be and how much...

"Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering." -Yoda I'm not much of a Star wars expert, but I don't think it takes a diehard fan to know that "the dark side" refers to the bad guys in the Star wars films. According to wikipedia its when Jedis use the...

Today was my last day at my internship with the Governator. Overall I would say it has been an absolutely wonderful experience: it was my first real internship, I got to live on my own in a new place (and not under campus's rules), I got to experience living with new people who were strangers before...

You may think I put tons of pictures up on my blog, but for every one I post, there are hundreds more on my computer. To celebrate the end of 2007, I picked out some of my favorite shots that you haven't seen before. Enjoy! Bell tower in the snow, February 2007. Snow day! The guiding spirit of our...

OH MY GOODNESS. Did anyone else just see that?!?! In case you are not obsessed with Butler men's basketball, it might be helpful to know that tonight was the Butler vs. Southern Illinois game. Last year we played them at Hinkle in the Bracketbuster game. That weekend, I was out of town at a conference...
