the science of life

i should be studying for my o.chem test in the morning...

instead i'm researching graduate degrees at asu.

saaaay whaaaat?!

people always ask:

people: "ooo what are you majoring in?...biology?! wha...whyyy??"

me: "ummm...because i like it."

people: "oh, well that's...neat."

why yes, yes it is...and after i graduate in december i just might start my MS in biology.

so there.

locks of confidence

so this one time, i had long hair.

then i got all emotional {like a real woman}

and cut it off.

one year later...it has not, i repeat, NOT grown back.

i'd like my hair back puh-lease,

in time for summer puh-lease,

thicker this time puh-lease, and

wavier this time puh-lease.

thanksss.

have i ever told you...

i have excellent table manners?

well, i do.

let me see yo' grill

this is what happens when your best friend is in dental hygiene school

brittstick, you are going to be an amazing hygienist!!

srsly though.

p.s. no more probing please. kthanksbye.

our socks are how we like 'em

i don't know if you heard...

but sis turned 14 last month.

i'm sorry,

WHAT?!

she was just a baby when i met her;

now she's going to start highschool...weird.

{and don't mind the fact that i've almost got 10 years on her and she's as tall as me}

oh to be young. sigh.

friday night lights

ever wonder what happens when the lone ranchers get together for a bonfire in the desert?

it means the only way to light a bonfire is with a bow and burning arrows.

irresponsibly good.

{ i just like the boys' commentary.}

take one:

take two:

take 3 (actually more like take 5):

practically perfect in every way

oh the day of the valentine.

or the weekend of the valentine...

starting with 2 dozen red roses delivered to my doorstep on friday,

and ending with a pair of tickets to mary poppins on sunday.

oh my.

i am {a lucky} spoiled girl.

i sure hope you all had a wonderful weekend spending time with loved ones.

the persians came to town...

and the food is delightful.

i love that my dad has friends all over the world.

i especially love the food that is cooked and the gifts that are brought...

...and the company too.

one more thing,

guess who got a 96% on her first brief calc exam?

yay me!!

s.m.r.t

i think it's safe to say i am a poor example for a college student.

esp as a senior...

considering school has been in for almost a month,

and this is the first time i'm cracking open a book.

what the heck is my problem...srsly.

**in other news: this week marks the first week of me working more, yippee!

{okay, so it's only one more day but it's a start...}

4 brunettes + 1 blonde

= a good time girls night at oregano's.

bad idea: not stretching more before skiing.

{i have never been so sore in my entire life}

if only i were a real snow bunny...
