Kinda Cool...
Random info I found online about where I come from....
"So I was talking to a friend of mine who happens to be from Nevada City. And it turns out that in addition to being the hometown of the lovely and talented Joanna Newsom, it's other claim to fame is that it is the seat of Nevada County. "And...?" you ask? Well, turns out that Nevada City was settled in 1849, 15 years before the state of Nevada. "And...?" Well, when Nevada decided to call itself "Nevada", the good folks of Nevada City got pissed off at having had their thunder stolen, as it were, so they drew their county line to resemble a pistol aimed point blank at the name-stealing state of Nevada. "Really?!" Yes!
Thought that was a crack up! Who does these things? Hahaha

I'm not completely done yet but that is the result of all of my spring break work. Whew!
Andy's internship with the Oakland Athletics is going really well for him. He's been getting a lot of recognition on his camera work so maybe something good will come of that. I never see the guy anymore but it's a good experience for him :) Although I might not have seen him much anyhow because I have a lot on my plate with 50 plus pages due in a few weeks. Procrastination sucks! Graduation is just around the corner. I can almost taste it!
hmmmm.... maybe I should take my own hint and get back to it :) take care.

Pride comes before the fall
I'm so bummed right now. The last few weeks have been a blur with mid-terms papers and excessive readings. Then today was my last day before spring break and I finally got back my first grade on all of my work this semester. It stunk when I saw a big fat B-/C+ was circled in Red on the last page. My Prof. had very few corrections on the paper but told me I had a few week spots (luckily no holes). I did talk to a few other people and no one got anything higher than a C- but that doesn't mean that everyone in the class didn't get a grade higher than that. I'm feeling very dumb right now. Luckily he is giving us extra credit options but I hate not doing well from the start. Oh well. I guess in it's own way my B- is incentive to try harder and prove I can succeed.
Other than that my Birthday was fun! Andy took me to a hotel downtown and then I got some birthday clothes. What is it about shopping that can make me happy? In the remake of "A star is Born," starring Judy Garland, she explains that when anything big happens in her life, good or bad, she washes her hair. That is me and shopping... just not as regularly because clothes are a bit more expensive than shampoo. haha.
Next week is spring break and I am heading home to my parent's house for some R&R! My mom teaches English at the High School so maybe she can proof my finals.
Hopefully everyone has a great Easter Sunday! And if you were doing Lent- have a wonderful feast of whatever you held off on. I'm keeping my Lent up for a little while longer. It was nice to cut out TV so I'll keep at it.
God Bless!

Birthday and Lists
I'm turning 28 on March 22nd and it so happens to be the last day of my finals. YAY! (about the end of finals not my birthday)
Other than that I have a preoccupation with Lists in my life. My Dad started it when I was little when he would say while we were driving to "get out my breifcase and get an envelope". I loved being the note taker and it stuck..... Enjoy :)

Slacker me: it's thematic
Well I am a horrible blogger but I have a very good exscuse-- Life is just too fast for me to keep up with! I have a few fun pictures that I took within the last week though...
We had some rain around here so one day I started playing around with my new Camera:
Right after I took this picture I saw the most surreal thing. This group of yellow and red balloons floated slowly up the middle of the street (like they were walking in the rain or something). So strange but I thought it belonged in a movie- not my front yard.
My sister and brother-in-law gave me these bowls and I thought they looked photogenic:
That's just a few of the massive amounts of photos I have been taking. Sorry If I disappointed anyone but I have resigned myself to be the tortoise and just keep pluggin' slowly away at this until I graduate in May. Can't WAIT!!!!!!
