Pink Toolbox


Mom got me a pink toolbox for Christmas and then took a leg off the dining room table to show me how to use it.

So much snow!


We got about two feet of snow all at once.

Packing


It took me so much longer than it should have to pack up my stuff.

Finals week was too much for Stephen the brontosaurus.

Study Break Breakfast


Today was the Study Break Breakfast, and I took full advantage.

Happy Birthday!


Today I went bowling with some friends for Christina's birthday.

Finally!


Today our pantry stayed closed by itself for the first time all semester!

Rock Band


Today was the WTHS Rock Band competition. The turnout wasn't fantastic and we had so many technical issues, but it was fun.

First time SB09 has met this year! Hertz and Molly came (via Skype) from Colorado and England!

Today at church all the college students got cookies!

Fruit!


Today I ate dinner with Jillian in Phelps. I mentioned that I wanted to grab some fruit on my way out. Many of her friends helped, and I ended up with four bananas, three apples and one orange.

Coat


I finally cut the tags off my coat!

No Shave November


What better way to end No Shave November than Hit Marcus in shorts?
The sad thing is that I actually shaved the first three Sundays in November because it was weirdly warm. So this is actually two weeks.

Brake lights


We hit kind of a lot of traffic on the way back to Hope - yuck.

Take two.


Katie and I took more senior pictures.

Happy Turkey Day!


I had to take a picture of Katie's plate...mine was not representative at all.

welt.


This is a bad picture, and not really representative, but it is the only picture I took today. It is a welt left from Hit Marcus on Sunday. This is the longest one has ever lasted - it's even surrounded by a bruise!

icecream.


Today Allison and I were going to the Kletz to get ice cream. We passed Phelps and I said "aw too bad we don't have a meal plan so we could just get free ice cream." Instead, we decided to stare at the window until we saw someone we knew. We saw Andrew Haggerty and got him to get us ice cream. What a great system.

Good Game[s]


Tonight me, Paul, David and Jillian played Hit Marcus for a couple hours. It was probably the funniest series of games I've played. There were quite a few awkward/hilarious hits. One of the games ended with all of us sitting on the floor, laughing until our abs were sore.

Bathrooms in Martha


Ali and I took pictures in the bathroom of Martha Miller for her to use for her drawing project.

exciting


I was waiting for Holly to call me, sitting at the kitchen table, with headphones in to drown out the "Gilmore Girls" in the living room and a candy cane in my mouth. I figured I looked silly and...I did.

Candy cane season


Candy cane season has officially begun.

Rice&Spice


We tried (thai'd?) a new Thai place. I think this menu speaks for itself really.

Baby Dash


Today Allison's family visited and brought Dash! He is so tiny and fluffy and precious.

Sometimes it is 70 degrees on November 14


Today it was gorgeous out. Lots of Pine Grove happened.

Our pal Denison Witmer



Today Paul and I interviewed Denison Witmer before his show at the Knick. He is a very good interviewee.

Sticky


Today I donated blood. My arm looks very gross now because iodine stains and the bandage they used was SO STICKY. It got fuzz from my sweatshirt everywhere.

Also Allison just informed me that maybe I wasn't supposed to donate blood because I was just in Argentina. Is this true?

Return of the Jedi and Dante


So on Sunday I started to watch "Return of the Jedi." I got most of the way through, but I had to turn it off for the Gathering. Luckily, today in Cultural Heritage, Professor Portfleet introduced Dante by playing the end of "Return of the Jedi" EXACTLY WHERE I LEFT OFF. It was so good.

Maybe I need another hobby.


Today was my first Monday without radio (we switched for Wednesdays). I didn't have much to do so I knit (of course).

Sunday, November 8, 2009

Radio workspace


I worked on my paper in the radio station. And maybe knit some instead of paper.

Guess Who


We tried to go to Nykerk, but there were no seats to be found. So instead we went to Kruitof to wait for the hockey game to start. We played Guess Who, but with only personality questions allowed. Examples: "would your person read Harry Potter?" I would just like to point out that I guessed the correct person when I was playing against Holly.

Goofy.


Amanda and I made cookies. Then Trevan and Paul came over. After that, we didn't really do much besides talk. But Trevan still managed to take about 75 pictures on my camera.

Return to Frogtown!


Jessica came to visit and we watched "Return to Frogtown." It was Joe's first time. He didn't know I was taking the picture....that's just how emotional this movie is.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Mountain Goats!


Jillian and I went to see Final Fantasy and the Mountain Goats at Calvin. It was so fantastic. You know how some people have the kind of voice that, as soon as they start singing, you just think "oh my gosh his voice is real"? John Darnielle is one of those. He's great.

3....2...1.


Amanda and I went for a bike ride. There were birds sitting on every inch of those wires, and then at the exact same moment they all flew away. How did they know?

Monday, November 2, 2009

My roomie, the nursing major.


I burned my fingers and and Allison put mustard on it.

Symbiotic friendship.


Because of Jillian's allergies, she cannot eat Sunday Sundaes. So, she makes them and I eat them. Beautiful.

Burritos!


We dressed like burritos and got two free ones each at Chipotle! Best part of Halloween.

Hope hockey


Second hockey game of the year, but first one that I went to! We won, obviously.

Civil litigation.


Today I read this book for "the Judicial Process" a lot.
