Friday Friday Friday:

I got the brown hair back yall! Wooohoooo. Also, it's the weekend before finals WHICH MEANS that I just finished my last official class of my junior year of college. Only 5 finals and a paper are what's stopping me from getting to senior year..woaahhh. I feel like I just got to Austin and it's still all of 2008... where did the time go?! I think of all the new people I've met, the memories I've made, the places I've traveled to...everything here, there, and in between...it's all been a beautiful experience. 

I can't believe that it's already May 6th - yesterday was me and C's "Tres-a-versary," aka our 3 months of being together. The time has flown over the past few months..I still can't believe sometimes that I got lucky enough to end up with him, he's done more good for me in the past few months then I've experienced with other guys I've dated for over a year. It's amazing what the power of love and positivity can do for a person :)

Anyways. I'm about to go to the gym and get a workout in before I get too pooped out and don't want to do anything before the evening; I always feel better after I go to the gym anyways.

Love love and more love to you all as you head into the weekend,

May 1st, 2011 means TX got cold & The World Lost a Terrorist:

It's May 2nd and it's whaaaat...50 degrees outside? Pretty sure it's been colder today (and last night) then it was the entire month of MARCH. I'm wearing a hoodie today for goodness sake. And it's now May. And I live in Texas. Anddd I'm not really sure how this all came about..buuuut..I'm ready for the weather to go back to sunny skies, no clouds, blueness and sunshine all around me.


Also, in more important news (since the weather change wasn't important enough), last night marked an extraordinary event in history...Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted and feared terrorist, was killed in a firefight in Pakistan. Unbelievable is all that I can say. I feel like this marks the end of an era of hatred, terrorism, and fear, and although terrorism has not been completely wiped off the planet, I still feel like what happened yesterday was something of incredible proportions. 

(Osama bin Laden, pictured above)

Hopefully for the families of the thousands killed in 9/11, and the thousands killed under the reign of his own hand, I hope that the world slept a little more peacefully last night knowing that the murderer or hundreds of thousands has finally been caught and killed. Of course, I wish violence upon no one and it's absolutely awful that he could not come to terms with his actions himself, as he should have, but I still feel like that justice has been served and the international community can breathe a sigh of relief.

Last night marked an extremely important moment in history, and I'm just glad that I'm alive and living to be a part of something so phenomenal - I've gone through many incredible, historic moments in my lifetime, but I feel like this is going to be one of the biggest yet. Until the next historic event rolls by...

Weekend Photoz:

 Pictured Above: Matt and Matt..my favorites! :D

Pictured below: Myself, Hillary (bday girl), and Matt N.

 Above...Matt and myself - he's one of my best friends in the entire world, I'm not sure how I would have survived the past two years of college without him. He's also a Libra which makes him pretty badass too. (ps. I'm a Libra)

Matt, Allison (the other bday girl), and myself! Allison and Hillary had a joint birthday party on Friday night and I went with Matt for a few hours to help them celebrate their 20th birthday. This was one of the first times all semester long I've been out and actually gone out to a social gathering, so it was a well needed break from the stress of this semester. It was also nice just to go out and have a good time with friends and not worry about anything else going on...all in all I'd say my weekend went wonderfully and Friday night only started the weekend off perfectly (plus a nap I'd taken earlier with Chris helped me save my energy for the rest of the night).

Anyways, I hope the rest of the weekend for all of you friends was as enjoyable and de-stressing as mine was. I ended up getting to go out but I definitely got to spend some relaxation time back at St. Edward's as well. I even got to go to the greenbelt with Chris for a little bit on Sat. to take my sick best friend's dog out for a walk! Unfortunately under the circumstances I wish Lindsay hadn't of had the stomach flu and it wasn't ungodly hot outside, but other than that it was still a nice outing.

Cheers and here's to the FINAL WEEK OF SCHOOL coming up tomorrow,
