Why would I ever...

...volunteer at an inner-city church and maybe change my life goals and not study all weekend and instead spend all of my time there?

This child. Hello.

...go to a Thunder game an hour late?

maybe because I scored (no pun intended) floor tickets for $17 with one of my best friends, Amanda. Yeah, it happened. Yeah, be jealous. No, I won't tell you how it happened. I can't ruin my sources.

Oh yeah, NBD-- That's Amanda with JAMES HARDEN. He touched her back. He chuckled at my witty comment. It's love.

...ever think I could study with my friend Suzanna in the library.

She has a new blog, by the way.. Go read it NOW. Seriously though- I laughed out loud.

Anyways- she has now discovered babies in wigs. That sounds like a horrible band name, but she is literally just looking up pictures of babies in wigs or terrible costumes. That's what over 10k bucks a semester teaches you to google.

...think that writing a blog right now instead of studying would be a good idea??

it's Suz's fault, I am sure.

A little thing I like to call Dead week...

My top 10 observations from dead week.

(Dead week is the week before finals, where there is nothing going on, and tests and papers are not supposed to be due because all you will be doing is studying.)

1. What I just said was a lie. That is what "they" say dead week is. Instead, it is a week that makes you want to be dead. For real though. I have a test or a major paper or both every day this week. Studying for finals? Yeah right.
2. People who have never been in the library ever all of the sudden call that place home, which is semi-annoying to me.
3. I get a lot less sleep. That's ok though because it makes me even more pleasant that usual.
4. Those girls that have been dressing up all year finally face reality that you can't always look perfect. The best part about that is they still don't realize that no one cares!
5. It becomes socially acceptable to edit your papers while sitting at a basketball game... Right?
6. I know what librarians work when. Judge me.
7. Freshmen find it acceptable to turn the library into their new social hangout since the hours, and their curfew, are extended. Singing happy birthday in the library, no matter what floor=not acceptable.
8. Showering becomes even less of a priority. Ehh.
9. 30% of my blog post become about the library. Who am I??
10. And suddenly, I have nothing. After writing all day, I have hit a block.

I guess that's all, apparently.

Lighting of the Commons.

What could be happier than the following?

Well, I mean besides this little girl? She is angry.

Love 'em.
Also- Is Cory sitting in Sarah's lap?

Maybe.

Merry December!!

Since I have my 2 front teeth, All I want for Christmas/My birthday is......

This is not a list of things that I am trying to guilt you, my friends, into buying for me.

Don't get me wrong though-- since Christmas (and my birthday!) are really soon, if you want to buy any of this for me, feel free!! In fact, feel encouraged to do so.

This is mostly in the chance that my mom looks at my blog, or my mom's friends look at my blog and fell the urge to tell her what I want.

Anyways, here we go.

Otter Box phone case for my phone. My phone gets abused, I will admit it.

Kavu Rope bag. These are cute and EXTREMELY useful. I want a black one, or khaki, or black hounds tooth. :-)

New shoes. I am running the Holiday Hustle (on my birthday, boooo), and I will be wearing the shoes I bought my junior year of high school. Gosh.

North face Jacket. Cliche', I know, whatever. I still want one.

Airfare to Haiti. I want to go really badly. My parents are going in January for two weeks.

I know, right? Punks.

So there it is.

Happy giving, and I hope that your thanksgiving was as full of food as mine is!

I must watch all award shows with my friend Josh.

We are both ridiculous, and we are both tweeting like crazy.

It is a friendship that is meant to be.

Gotta go- Christina Agulara is on! GAH!

I NEED to be here. Sheesh.

Why would you not want to be with these precious ones?

What is happening? What???

Suzanna has a ridiculous lisp, and is saying things like....

"You probably wouldn't know this, but my mouth was wired shut for the first 14 years of my life"

"My plastic surgeon is my biggest hero... Cause I don't have to live in the basement anymore..."

"Actually, Hallie Stapp is my biggest hero... She helps me take off the fake half of my face every night."

"My mouth is a steel trap. Literally."

"I wasn't dancing. I had an itch in my scoliosis brace."

Jenna is dancing (pantless) to the cha cha slide. Excellent.

"I HATE PANTS!"

Sarah: "Eeeewwwwwww!"

"I didn't mean to say 'eww'. I say 'ewwww' to good cake."

Hallie is wearing all of the scarves in the cube and dancing.

You want proof?

Oh, alright.
