okay, it’s been awhile since i’ve updated. i guess i've just been too busy drinking wine and eating bread and cheese haha. last weekend we went to paris, since it was our first free weekend here and we’re on vacation the next couple. plus it was my 21st bday, so of course we just had to go ( Read more... )

there's really nothing that exciting going on right now, but i feel i should update. this last weekend we took a trip on friday to see these caves and went to a winery. we also had a free wine tasting, including 4 types of wine, which i loved. of course. then right after we went and had dinner, whch was quite possibly the best dinner of my life.

well since i've been in france for a little over a week now, i guess it's time for an update. we don't have internet access in our dorm rooms here, so we have to share computers on campus. it's a pain. i have a single room, but it's basically a closet. and i have my own bathroom, but i basically shower standing in the toilet. gotta love europe. i ( Read more... )

yesterday my sister was with a friend all day, my dad was at work, and my mom had jury duty. seeing as i had the whole day to myself until work, i decided to be really fun and go to the library. yes, i went to the library to get french books so i could study before i went to france. i need a life. and then when i got home, i was in desperate need ( Read more... )

well i haven't updated in a while, mainly because i haven't exactly done anything that exciting, but i'm bored so i'll make one anyway. week before last i got a new cousin (yay!), and he's super cute :) i've also babysat my other almost 2 year old cousin a few times, who's also super adorable. besides that i've just been working and hanging out ( Read more... )

well, i'm back home safe and sound from thailand. the zipper on my big huge stuicase broke the day before we were leaving, so genius me decided "i won't spend my money to buy a new one because my parents will when i get home, so i'll just duct tape it shut." note to anyone who's stupid enough to ever think this, like me: don't do it. when i get off ( Read more... )

so i just got back from my brother's graduation. and besides the fact that it was about 3 hours long and incredibly boring, it was also kinda sad. i tried my hardest to not think about how we're going to be there in 2 years. but on a happier note, the ceo of pier 1 imports gave a speech. he went to a&m and got a 0.7 his first semester of college.

i thought everyone would appreciate the voicemail i got from tmac last night. it started off with about 20 solid seconds of random high-pitched asian sounds, followed by him going "that's thaianese for i'm going to miss you while you're in thailand ( Read more... )

alright guys, i'm FINALLY updating in almost a year--i figure it's about time. although, i haven't really done anything exciting lately except unpack, shop, and start packing again for bangkok, bitches!! none of my friends are here yet, so i've had great family bonding time, woo. it's nice, but just not anywhere near as exciting as school. (plus ( Read more... )

i'm baaaaaaaaaack!!!! the trip to red river was a lot more fun than i thought it was gonna be. i'll make a post about it when i can type with 2 hands, but as a summary: it was full of huuuuuge family dinners of 33 people, white water rafting, shopping, a 10 mile hike, sound of music sing-a-longs, and oversize doobies (i'll explain later). i had ( Read more... )
