U of I

It has been the perfect weekend.

Friday night I drove down to U of I to hang out with my cousin Katie. I've always wanted to go to a frat party, and I realized that pretty soon I'll be too old to do it. So Katie graciously invited me to a party at her frat, and I was so excited. The party was fun, and we both drank a lot, but the best part was actually hanging out with Katie. I love that girl. It was also fun to meet some of her friends, who all seem like really nice people.

We slept in on Saturday, then walked over to Flat Top Grill for lunch. Then, because it was such a beautiful day, we hung out on the quad and I worked on progress reports. Here's a pic of the quad:


Notice the guy on the right who is just wearing underwear. Normally, I would think this was pretty inappropriate. But his body was amazing. Seriously, he could be an underwear model. So I had no problem at all with him playing football in his underwear.

After enjoying the beautiful weather, Katie and I walked over to the new frozen yogurt place, which I liked even better than Berry Chill. But then, sadly, it was time for me to go home. I had such a great time though; I can't wait to go back next year!

This morning I went to church, then stopped at Whole Foods on the way home, where I found some vegetarian yogurt. Now I'm watching the Cubs and thinking about getting started on my homework and imagining how nice life will be when I'm done with school. The perfect Sunday.

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
