"all we ever do...

...is say goodbye." -john mayer

my second semester junior year has been completed! after grades are posted i can officially be considered a SENIOR!! huh?!?! already? ...scarrry...

all of my classes are done and i'm in my apartment alone because my roommate already left for home.
there are pros and cons to being alone at the moment:

pros:

• i just ate an entire bag of popcorn to myself
• i'm wearing a sports bra and soccer shorts
• i'm blasting music
• i just finished all of the leftover food and cookies that would have gone to waste over break

cons:

• i'm cleaning EVERYTHING by myself
• i'm by myself

i'm looking forward to going home for break! it should be good times. but it's hard to believe it's over! Christmas is next week! wowza!

i have lots of great memories from the semester. it just all flew by so quickly! my most recent highlight was seeing mr. john mayer perform a mini-concert for free!!!! i've determined he is my favorite artist. so it was fantastically fabulous being able to see him perform! i was literally around 25 feet away from him. it was great.

since there are so many stories and i was so busy i didn't get a chance to write them all down i'll just share one:

so there's this boy named Steven my roommate and i just met this semester. i say hey to him all the time and every time i do [without fail] the Taylor Swift song "Hey Stephen" comes into my head. this time, rachel and i saw him in the computer lab and sat next to him. next thing i know rachel is staring at me giggling. wanna know why?...cuz i was humming the song OUT LOUD. !!!! uhhh...ha.ha.? lol complete accident! woops! oh well...hopefully he doesn't know that song...

well, gotta go pack! :)

i totally scored the jackpot at a thrift store today! it's called AmVets(american veterans) and it's a huge warehouse down the road with basically anything and everything. now, i wouldn't consider myself much of a shopper...but i am definitely a thrift store shopper! i lovvvved it! haha it was so fun! and funny! now i know what people mean when they say they love shopping! deals you just can't pass up!

our original reason for going was to find an ugly Christmas sweater for a party my roommate and i were planning on attending as well as getting white elephant gifts. and boy was the trip a success! i almost bought three ugly sweaters just because they were so cheap! three!!!!! i ended up with two wildly fantastic sweaters at a total of 6 dollars. then i bought a book for 95 cents, a movie for 4 bucks, and a random book for the gift for 2 dollars! but wait!...there's more!

before i had the random book for a white elephant i had found one of those really cool plastic balls that scrunch down into a star shape and then pop up into a ball...you know what i mean? (they have them at like the discovery store in malls) and the lady in front of me bought it from me for $5! i tried to give it to her for free but she was so excited that she didn't have to search for it online. cuz really what would you type into google? scrunchy plastic star ball? it's quite a difficult item to track down...i seriously just tried. no luck.
so i spent around nine dollars on two sweaters, two books, and a movie! :D:D:D:D:D:D

i learned what an abba-zaba candy is.

i've drunk more tea in the past few days than i have in my entire life due to a sore throat. no joke. no exaggeration. more than my entire life!

also i thought i would bring some floss with me from home and i ended up picking the weirdest floss known to man...i chose the threaded, grape flavored floss which is who knows how old. gross.

this world is messed up but God is good.
