*GASP!*

Whew! It's been an insane month! I just took the last test final last night and turned in my last projects tonight. I've only got one more final season 'til graduation! Yay!

Updates? Umm... I need to go through all my pictures to remember it all. Off the top of my head there was Turkey Bucks, Thanksgiving, Allie's birthday, Black Friday shopping and tons of homework (that whole weekend).

My Magritte presentation was awesome (for my Child Development Art class) and I had a monster project due for my comparative literature class (I'll show you the cute cover I made for it). That weekend was spent pretty much on homework too.

week's events included a cartoon about my life (we read Our Cancer Year & watched American Splendor). I couldn't come up with anything good so I drew Trena getting groped after Wicked. I realized after I'd drawn the preliminary sketches that I could have written about a couple other times that weird stuff happened to me and Trena (like that torrential downpour) so I just may do it for fun. I named my new comic The Adventures of Meghan and Trena. It made the girls in my group giggle (sorry Trena) and they all said they'd keep men nearby in H-town from now on. :)

Art class was a lot of fun these last 2 weeks as it was a bunch of presentations and hanging out with my professor. He's really passionate about art education (aren't all art teachers? :) ) and it has been an inspiring semester. I've already decided that I've totally deprived myself of FUN classes my entire college career. Granted, I've taken more fun classes and picked things I was more interested in as I went along, but I hardly count that. I'll be hanging out at the JC up the street this summer taking art classes... for fun!! Oh! Maybe a graphic design course! That would be a blast!

So... I took my final on Saturday. I was totally worried about that class, the final wasn't as bad as I'd thought and I'd gotten better grades than expected on a few things. Score! I've probably passed it. Last night's test wasn't bad either.

I pulled yet another all nighter last night though (for my art portfolio). It's still not complete... but it's awesome looking... that should count for something. At this point, done was good. I'm so tired. I'd had almost a whole Amp Tall Boy before 9 am (usually I'd nurse one until noon on a day like this). And what am I doing now? Typing instead of going to bed... welcome to my world!

Oh! I forgot... I also got 12 new shirts at Threadless the last few weeks. They're cute! This Christmas is also all about Internet shopping. It's SO much easier.

Wednesday I've got a church meeting and bridal shower on Thursday. But hopefully I'll be able to get on and post pictures little by little. I've got some really fun shots in there! (And great stories to share!)

Signing off for now,

Wired

Like REALLY wired. I feel like I should be running around the office with my shirt pulled up on my head screaming "I am Cornholio!!" I've narrowly escaped from letting out Beavis-like giggles several times already today. I'll update more tonight to fill you all in on the last 6 weeks or so.

You've had a birthday, shout hooray!

Okay, so it's really Tuesday, but I had a very birthday weekend because Thanksgiving is next weekend (Matthew's entire family is coming into town). I still get to celebrate a few more times. I'm going to dinner with a few girlfriends tomorrow night and hanging out with my family Tuesday or Wednesday night.
My first present was actually from Trena. When we went to see Wicked she covered part of my ticket price because the cost was a little steep for me (and you already saw what crazy fun we had that night!!). Tonight she gave me a $10 gc from Starbucks too. Yay it's hot chocolate weather... yummy!!

I went to lunch with Sarah and Jenny (Philip and Gavin too) yesterday at the Olive Garden (soup and salad... YUM!). We totally forgot to take a picture!! But Jenny had bought a cute little Tinkerbell wallet for me. And Sarah got me my awesome new Tinkerbell shirt, magic wand pen, lip gloss and door hanger. Hey! I'm easy to please!

Tonight I had a yummy breakfast burrito dinner. :D And I got more awesome goodies! My mother-in-law, Melissa, got me this adorable purse (the cute flowery one) above. Even the lining is cute!! It's totally handmade and they'll repair normal wear and tear issues. I'm really loving internet shopping, you get GREAT quality stuff and you help out small businesses! Matthew got me a bag from Satchel Studio (Mine is Bici in olive). It's blank for now, but I may send it back for decoration. I really don't know what I want on it yet. Weird huh? I like Graffitti and Japanese (image 8 for both) but I was thinking a photo collage of me and Matthew and our sibbies. But I also thought that'd work better on a purse... hmm... we'll see! I'm telling you, these bags are going to really take off!!

Sarah and Michael got me black Alice style Crocs! They're stinking cute and super comfy! I swear I've thought people were exaggerating when they said walking on marshmallows... they weren't! They're also getting me a gc for GMD. Yippee!!

Thanks to everyone for the fun stuff!! :D I've got great friends and family and I got to spend this weekend with some of them (and the rest before the week is out) and that is what made it really great! (and the food ;) )

Time for an update!!

It's been a freaking long time since I've posted pictures or had a real update!



Halloween was fun. We had a quietish evening at church for the Trunk-or-Treat. I tried to get some pictures of Liam & Allie in their costumes... but that proved nearly impossible... as usual. They're just too quick!

Here's a quick recap of my October. :D

Was I too cryptic?

I totally forgot to mention... it was Danny Elfman! ;)
