Well, one of my dreams since I was 12 years old came true this week. No, I didn't walk on the moon or rescue a drowning baby (those dreams are for wimps). I did something much greater. I SAW CONAN!!! That's right. On Thursday my rain-soaked, wind-blown, very sleepy eyes physically witnessed the actual Conan Christopher O'Brien. Yes, it was just as ( Read more... )

As much as I have always had a disdain, even as a young child, for Mr. Rogers and his programming, I have to say that I simply can't disagree with his chipper tagline. It has been a beautiful few days actually. This weekend was great because it was actually a productive one in the eyes of academia in addition to a good bit of fun here and there. I ( Read more... )

I must say, this weekend was a little slice of wonderful. I gave, hopefully, my last presentation of the semester on Friday, which I will admit I freaked out during and completely made zero sense. I had the entire speech written out with what I was going to say, but then I couldn't keep quality eye contact going, so I just decided to screw the ( Read more... )

What can I say? Life is...good :) Easter Break was a nice little recharge, and this past week was quite a busy one, but busy doesn't always have to be bad. Generally speaking, when it's busy, that means things are getting done, and when things are getting done, that is usually accompanied by a sense of accomplishment, and a sense of accomplishment ( Read more... )

Well, basically anything imaginable that could have gone wrong this week did. I'm pretty sure that if I soaked myself in gasoline and then danced wildly around a bonfire the situation couldn't get much worse. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little (or a lotta), but this has still been the week from hell. I do know that I have plenty to be thankful for ( Read more... )

Huzzah! The very talented and gorgeous Miss Megan Ann Rita Murphy turns the big 2-1 today! I'm so excited to see that little slice of heaven this weekend along with a side of my other lovelies. All I know is that one helping never seems to satisfy me. I'm always hungry for seconds when it comes to dishes that spectacular ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness! I am in an elated mood right now simply thinking about how lucky I am. I just have the most wonderful family ever! And when I say family, I'm not just talking about my dear parents and broham but my extended family as well. They're all just so generous and fantastic! My grandparents came up yesterday and my aunt, uncle, and cousins ( Read more... )

It's been exactly two weeks since I've updated, so I guess I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm going to put it simply and save you days and days of reading. My Spring Break was great. I got to see so many of the people that I love, even if it only was for a day or two. Thank you to everyone who made my time off from school an actual vacation, ( Read more... )

That's right folks, believe it or not I actually overestimated how much time it would take me to do something! I'm going home for Spring Break today, and my mum took the day off so she wanted me to leave at a reasonable hour. Thus, I figured that I'd actually pack in advance for once instead of just frantically throwing stuff in a bag an hour after ( Read more... )

This weekend was a relaxing and enjoyable one. I had the room all to myself since Thursday because poor Heather had to go home due to about 15 different medical afflictions. Although it did get a little lonely at times, it was actually probably for the best that we were apart, so that we could both get better on our own. My parents came up for ( Read more... )
