Is Stroking Your Head Considered Weird?

So today I went to Becca's choir concert, which was AMAZING! The choirs sang beautifully and the piano in High Light was fantastical. It was my favorite part. Anyways, while watching this great show preformed there was this old couple sitting a few seats in front of me and my friends. As the songs were sang the women in the couple just all of a sudden start petting the head of her husband. Actually it was more of a rubbing motion, but funny none the less. Clarissa and I couldn't stop laughing and it took all our control to not burst with giggles in the auditorium. This very touchy feely women rubbed her husband for like two songs and it was so distracting. My eyes just kept diverting to the movement of her arm and hand.

Another Birthday Celebration!

Yesterday was so much fun with my friends. We went to Olive Garden to celebrate my friend Liz's birthday. It was my first trip to Olive Garden. I kept getting the "I can't believe you've never been to Olive Garden" thing. It was delicious though. I love their bread sticks! After my lovely experience at Olive Garden, we went back to our dorm hall, had cake, and played bored games. We played Taboo and Uno. I think my group of friends are very special. I don't think I laughed that much in a while. They kept saying the funniest things or did the funniest things. I think I'm going to have to have quotes of the day with all the ridiculous stuff that my friends and say.

Today's Quote: "Nam, nam, nam. I wonder if Vietnam vets would be offended?" - Matt
"That's horrible." - me
"Why would they be offended?" - Liz

As I've said, we're special.

Grande Cup of Coffee = Sleep Deprivation

So yesterday I went with my gal pals to our normal coffee trip on campus last night and ordered a tall iced carmel latte, I wanted mocha because I love anything chocolate but that's besides the point. Instead of giving me a tall, the coffee people gave me the next size up, a grande, because they were running behind on their orders and I had to wait, which I was totally fine with and I understood how hard it is for just two people to run the registers while making orders. Well I got the drink and thought it was pretty sweet that I got more for my buck, as I think the saying goes. I decided that since they made me the drink, I might as well drink the whole thing. I finished the drink by 11 and was up for a very long time through the night. I'm really tired now, but being a college student I have a bunch of work that I have to do, which means no nap :( The only good thing that came from that cup of coffee is that I am about half way done with a paper due Monday and I read two chapters in a book. Never again will I drink a grande size cup of coffee at 9 at night, other wise I will have another night of sleep deprivation.

Procrastination is the Name of the Game

Well I should really be working on a paper that is do tomorrow, but I kind of don't feel like doing that at the moment, hence this blog post. This paper I'm writing is for art history and is suppose to be on any piece of art we want. The problem with this is that I don't have any art museums nearby to go to, which meant I had to go to my college's gallery. No offense, but most of the stuff in there was pretty bad. I'm far from an art guru, but most of the pieces there were impossible to write a decent two page paper on. Here is the piece I decided to do my paper on.
There are three panels that make the piece up, hence the three different pictures. It looks really cool, but it is kind of hard to describe in a paper. Let me know what you think about it. Maybe thoughts on what it represents.

Downtown Today

I got so excited about Becca's birthday stuff that I forgot to mention the cool time I had with my frined and roommate, Clarissa, strolling Downtown Fredericksburg. We had a nice time walking and taking pictures of stuff that we thought were awesome to take photos of. I'm kind of new to the whole photography thing, so my pictures are not that great, but Clarissa on the other hand is amazing at photography. She is so talented when it comes to photography and art. So I thought I would psot some of my pictures. If there are any people that are actually following this, you can tell me what you think about the pictures. Try not to be too harsh since, like I said, I'm new to photography.























First Post/ Becca's Birthday!

So I am totally excited for starting my very own blog about me and everything that is awesome. Today is not actually my friend Becca's birthday, but today we celebrated it. We threw her a little shindig with cake, games, and gifts. I think it went very well. I came to the realization that I am horrible at Disney Charades at this party too. Kind of disappointing, but oh well. I'm good at the guessing, I just can't act out the characters. Now I guess I have to cross being an actor off my list of future career choices. Anyways, after the party my friend Clarissa and I went around our college campus to write happy birthday messages for Becca's actual birthday, which is tomorrow. We did a fabulous and awesome job! I have a feeling Becca is going to love it and I hope she does!
