I'm home in case anyone wants to know... I'll be out at Augie on Thursday until Friday. I can't wait to see people at school!! Look for picture sites soon :)

Hi all!! I´m here in Ecuador! To follow my travels over the next 11 weeks, check out traveliss.livejournal.com.

Ok, so I leave for Latin America in exactly 5 days (not including today) and between now and then I will be skydiving and in Michigan. I still have a whole 6 page paper to research and write. Yipes! Well, that's about all I have to say. We were at Cedar Point this last weekend and it was awesome! We did everything there and it was really fun. The ( Read more... )

Wow... it's been a while. Well, I am officially 21! On Thursday I ended up meeting up with some CAP girls at Woodfield. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday since I had to work the next day and thus couldn't stay out late or get drunk anyway. Last night I went downtown Chicago with Sydney, Emilie, and my friend from high school Christine ( Read more... )

What a great weekend! After a long week and getting very frustrated with my damn long commute (yes, again) I was sooooo happy to be going out to school! I love my awesome roomies (and pseudoroomie, Sarah). We are so weird and fun. I also love my CAPs. And Augustana in general! And I suppose our old gross house which nonetheless we can still call ( Read more... )

Friday I took the train from work to Mount Prospect and Kristy picked me up there and we went to Emyli's 21st party in Oak Forest. It was great to hang out with some CAP girls, even if there were just a few of us. Ok, it was great just to hang out and be social for, like, the second time all summer. Then Saturday Amber and I drove up to ( Read more... )

Well, the wedding is over. First off, Mackinac Island is not that exciting of a place. The extent of things to do consists of walking through town (a bunch of tshirt and fudge shops), seeing the old war fort, and riding bikes the 8 miles around the island. You can't even go inside the Grand Hotel (the hotel in the movie Somewhere in Time) ( Read more... )

The summer is going by SOOOO fast. I cannot even believe it. Last weekend was my dad's 50th and we built the trampoline in their backyard. This weekend I went shopping all weekend with my mom. We watched The Hills Have Eyes (TERRIBLE movie) and Syriana (also a bad movie). Luckily Matt Damon is hot. My ipod battery doesn't charge any more and it ( Read more... )

I saw The DaVinci Code and The Omen this weekend. The DaVinci Code was not as good as the book, as I expected, but it was ok. The Omen was exactly the same as the old one but updated for the times and they added some scary dream sequences. I got to see Amber this weekend too, even if it was just to go to the movie. I started going tanning ( Read more... )
