day 1

My third year at the University of Nebraska begins today. A new semester...a new day...a new beginning, if you will. I have moved into my new apartment...this is a whole new college experience for me! I loved my time in the dorm...but going to school - without spending every minute of everyday on campus is a nice change.
Kayce and I walked out the door this morning at 7:30...as we did, we said to one another, "Day 1" Hopefully this is a good start to the many more to come!

horrible!

I've been absolutely horrible about posting lately! I got to school after break and then got so busy :( Classes are going to be rough this semester! I won't have as much free time to craft and create, but if you know me...you'll know that I'll find the time some how! Right now I'm finishing up a paper and getting ready to study for a test tomorrow. Nothing's really slowed down yet! Maybe you'll hear more from me this weekend! Cross your fingers!

dandy decorations

My room is all decked out for the holiday season. I thought I'd better take some photos before I have to take everything down for Christmas Break. Then I realized I never did post any pictures of my dorm room...so here they are!



I have my own room, so even if it looks really cramped, it's much roomier than a double. I prefer to call it cozy! And cozy it is...they really cranked up the heat this past week with our snow days :) And there is PINK everywhere!!

Since there are two desks I use one for homework and the other for crafty business! I love the built-in shelves above the counter space! Mine are full of stuff! I like to be really organized, so all those compartments come in handy.

There really isn't an inch of my room that doesn't have stuff in it. You don't get to peak into my closets...they are stuffed, and kinda messy! Usually my brown chest serves as a coffee table in the center of my room, but right now its a Christmas tree stand so people can see my tree from outside.

And that's the grand tour... Thanks for stopping by!

finally finals

Finals week is finally here! I have one under my belt already and am gearing up for two more today. I won't be done this week until Thursday, then I can pack up and go home for a much needed break.
Looking around my room, I have so much I need to take back with me...sewing machine, scrapbooking, plants! And my room is such a mess! That's going to be this afternoon's project: maintaining order in my dorm room :)
I need to take a picture of my room all decorated for Christmas before I have to take everything down :(
Wish me luck on all these tests...my brain is going to be fried!

ppst

I took my PRAXIS PPST today! I didn't really realize how long the test would be... 3 hours, but it went as well as I could have hoped. I passed both the reading and mathematics sections. Now all I can do is wait a few weeks to see how I did on my essay! Wish me Luck!
