So.....

Qué pasa everybody? Today is cinco de mayo and I'm celebrating by watching television and reading a book for class about Bostwana! The last few weeks have been a little hectic with some lingering midterms and term papers being due. But I managed to finish everything on time and now only have 3 papers and 3 exams left until I'm finished with my final semester at NYU! That's right, I said "FINAL SEMESTER AT NYU" I've been agonizing for close to a year about transferring to a place that's in the Midwest and I've finally heard back from one school I applied to and...I got into Vanderbilt!! I'm still waiting to hear back from others in lovely Chicago but Vanderbilt is a big possibility for me. I think I'll miss New York once I'm gone but I know that it was never the right place for me. I've tried to soak up all that I can though in these past few weeks though (museum trips, central park visits, going grocery shopping at the TJs in Chelsea). And I've met a few good friends while I've been here; but enough about all that.

I go home in 11 days!! I can't wait! Not only will I be home but it will finally be summer! And I already have a few things to look forward to (aka 5/13 and 7/19)...so we'll see how that goes. Amanda and I are also ready for tour again. It's been too long and we have a few things that need to be crossed off our bucket list like KV13 and San Bernardino. So I'm sure we'll at least accomplish those while driving through the desert in style. I'm also working on a playlist for the summer. At the top of my list right now is "I Need Your Love" - Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding. It's perfect for summer!

Must go back to life now, PEACE out girl SCOUT

P.S. So...... (snobby)

Spring is here...wait is that snow?

Hola!

I'm back from spring break and ready for these next 6 weeks to fly by. My break was a nice, relaxing trip home. I got to hang with my favourite person in the world: my sister, Amanda! We spoke in Aussie slang, visited the OG, went to the movies and oh yeah got new tattoos! A lucky number 5 for her wrist and a nice outline of Australia for my arm. These hold more meaning to each of us than you could ever realize. Anyway, after visiting some friends, family, and watching Friends on Nick @ Nite and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami it was time to come back to the city. Unfortunately a small blizzard covered STL and my flight was delayed 13 hours. This essentially led to:

• waking up at 3am to get to the airport for my 7am flight on time
• having a nice 5 minute layover in one of my favourite cities: Chicago
• making it back to New York just in time for my last 2 classes of the day.

Exhilirating, right? Wrong. I'm living off of 2 hours of sleep and I think I'm going to bed in 5 minutes. However, I felt it was necessary to catch up with my life on here.

P.S. I can't wait for the amazing tours that are bound to happen this summer!!

#drafts

Here are a list of things I wanted to tweet but never did, so they ended up in the limbo of "Drafts"...

1) Does Canada have wars?

2) Am I the only one here who is confused by quinoa (keenwah)? #wtf

3) Funny how things change.

4) Call me old fashioned, but I don't like people who are assholes.

5) It's all about the subtleties.

6) I want all of the Dyson fans.

7) Is mixology an actual degree?

Some of these are out of context so I didn't think it would make sense to tweet them anymore, but I didn't want them to be nothing forever.

Superb Owl Sunday

Someone I follow on Twitter tweeted "Superb Owl Sunday" and I thought that was clever so I'm using it in this.

This was the first week of Spring semester and I have to admit I'm excited for these classes so far. But I'm still excited for the semester to end and it to officially be SUMMER 2013. My sister and I are finally going to accomplish KV13 and cross another item off our bucket list. Also, I'm looking forward to warm weather. It's been "cold as" lately and I'm over it.

FYI: The super bowl is tonight! I'm possibly watching, but also I don't care so I will most likely finish my history chapter and watch Bones.

Sorry for the short, semi-boring blurb but I must bid this writing adieu. Look forward to some fascinating lists and other types of posts in the near future! In the meantime, don't die of fatal hilarity.

UPDATE: I did watch the superbowl.

Ready, Break!

Here we go!

It has been forever since I last shared my thoughts so I thought I'd cover a few things:

I finished finals and final papers relatively unscathed. Boosted my GPA a bit and now I'm finishing up my transfer applications. If you recall, the world was supposed to end on 12/21/12. Well my world almost did. I got out of my final late, missed my ride (that was prepaid/nonrefundable), had to take a cab for an additional $80. Then when I'd finally sat down waiting to board my flight home, it got CANCELLED. Long story short, the next flight out was not for several days so me and 8 other St. Louis-ians rented a car and drove 16 hours overnight. I made home without being murdered! YAY! Then Christmas break began!!

I had several family Christmases and then had a New Year's extravaganza week with my sister and my brother-in-law. We themed NYE and dressed like we lived in the '30s and took paparazzi pictures. I love when the 3 of us get to spend time together. We also coloured my hair tips purple! LOVING IT

Random but: I forget to mention that over Thanksgiving break my sister and I went to see Hurt at the Outland Ballroom and I met one of my future boyfriends who played drums in one of the opening bands. That concert put us both back in the tour mindset so hopefully we can work something stellar out this summer!

Anyway back to the present: My fave bio teacher from high school is convinced I'm knowledgeable enough to teach his seniors about Human Evolution. So I'm making a presentation for that on Friday. Hopefully after this I'll never have to type "hominin" again.

I'm going back to New York on Sunday. Only 4 more months until I'm an official Chicago resident (fingers crossed)!

Lastly, 2 things I've realized about myself:

I'm a lister. (Ironic b/c that's my mom's maiden name), but I mean I love listing things. So look forward to a few of those in the near future.
I'm addicted to every show about the Kardashians.

F-F-Finals WEEK

HELLO EVERYBODY (I'm writing that in the tune to Retro, Dance, Freak by Gaga btw)

So I've got limited time here but let me break down my life lately:

I go home in 2 days for a month. Can't even talk about how excited I am!! However, this means it is finals week. While I was under stress as it was, one of my professors realized she had mis-communicated the date/time of our final and gave us less than 24 hours notice of its new time. I obviously had planned to study according to the old schedule while also writing papers that were due this week. I admit to my procrastination, but it was still a bit unfair. This curveball left me writing/finishing 3 papers in 3 days while also cramming for my sudden final. Long story short, I pulled an all-nighter to get shit done. Now I'm finishing my last paper that's due tomorrow at 11. Then I've only got one more final until I'M OFF TO MISSOURI!

I realize this is boring but damn...stressful time.

Side note: I'm listening to "Ca Plane Pour Moi." If you've ever seen the Mary-Kate & Ashley movie, Winning London, you'll recognize this song.

See ya on the flip side! (The Midwestern side)

Fiz what?

It's been awhile but....

I'm just gonna jump right in with a few random thoughts:

Every week, I watch Parenthood and seriously end up crying. Not always at sad things, but the show is just such an emotional roller coaster.

Also, Chevelle just released a new song called Fizgig. That sounds weird, but just look it up. I've listened to it on YouTube about 4 times and I love it. I'm not quite sure how to put it but everything about the song almost sounds wrong or off which is what makes it so interesting to listen to.

Speaking of new music, I may be crazy but I always love discovering something new and how it feels foreign. I'm always a little sad when I become desensitized to a song or an artist or whatever. Does anyone else ever think this?

By the way, 16 days until I go home for a month for Winter break! Between now and then I have several papers, finals, and readings that I have to get through.

Well, Until next time...
