Brrr... It's Cold In Here

Went on a double date last night with Drake, Ash and Greg to the mall. Ate at Friendly's for dinner and then walked around. Ashley and I bought hats so that we don't freeze to death in the winter. Came back from the mall and we watched the movie Hot Chicks. After the movie Drake, Ash and I went on a walk around campus.. it was 12:45 in the morning at that point and a whopping 35 degrees, only 3 degrees from being prime snow weather. 

The hat in the first picture was not the one I bought and my parents were requesting a picture... so here it is. I think we've pretty much gotten over the fact that we look ridiculous in these hats but I don't really care because my head is going to be excellently warm. I've been wearing it around all day just for the heck of it (except to draw my self-portrait because that would be silly. 

Woke up around 9:30 this morning and I've been working on homework pretty much all day except for a break around noon for breakfast/lunch and then one for dinner. It's coming down to the end of the quarter and my agenda book can definitely tell.. there isn't much white space =) Currently working on a project for 2d involving a 3 foot by 2 foot collage with painting and newspaper, a project for 3d that I have to make 8 journal entry/designs for as well as a finished product in picture form, an 1250 word essay on "appropriate technology" which is basically just something that will contribute to a sustainable future, a raster imaging project to make a self-portrait in photoshop, and a 25 inch by 40 inch (?) drawing of my face.. yuck. So yeah, things have been pretty busy around here.

Oh yeah and in case you were wondering, the picture in the last post "Problem Solved" was just something I found on the internet that I thought was funny because that's totally how I would solve a rubik's cube. 

Shop 'til Ya Drop

Went to Tysons Corner yesterday in Virginia with my mom and Sarah. Sarah was looking for a "back-to-school/birthday dress and I needed a soap dish from the container store-- exciting, I know. Drove down around noon and walked around for hours and hours. I think we spent roughly 2 hours in one store, luckily there was a very comfy chair in the dressing room so I just sat and watched Sarah try on endless outfits. Ended up eating at Chipotle for lunch.. yummm. I have to get my fix of mexican in before I head off to Rochester because there are no Chipotle's within a 3 hour radius!! After lunch we continued wandering around and I eventually got bored of looking at clothes so I spent a rather large amount of time looking at books in Barnes and Noble. My dad only works about 20 minutes away so after he was done he came over and joined us for dinner.

The triumph of the day was that Sarah managed to find pants that are TOO LONG on her. Yeah, I find pants that are too long on me all of the time but you never, ever run into that problem if you have a 38 inch inseam like she does. While she was trying on pants I searched the store for the most hideous outfit. Okay, so it's a little "different" but it's actually not that weird compared to what else is out there. 

"Wait... Look at these!"

Yesterday I went out to dinner with two of my friends, Corey and Jenni, at the mall, we ended up not being that hungry so we decided to try on obnoxious clothing instead. (I don't have any of the pictures of us trying on clothing... they were on my friends camera) Sarah also happened to be at the mall with her friends so when they left she just tagged along with us. Of course, when at the mall there is a mandatory stop at the pet store to play with a puppy :)
