It's Friday

...and guess what that means? One week until I'm on official Thanksgiving break!!! Yah! I am very excited, this week went by super fast:) I am done with classes for today and I am planning on spending the rest of day, drinking a chaider (java house twist of apple cider and chair:), writing my travel story, practicing some Chinese, attending a photography gallery, and shootin the shit possibly later tonight. Not much more exciting news. This weekend I am going to book my plane ticket to visit my sister in Lake Tahoe, California (fingers crossed-hopefully:) Zaijian for now!

It's been a long, long time....

I've been....Well I'm back. Absent for a few days with my new obsession of stalking photos on flickr. That along with facebook. But I'm in remission now! I have some goals set for the next two weeks before THANKSGIVING BREAK!!! It's quite exciting! Some include: getting a job, staying away from facebook (1 check a day), staying positive, reading (newspaper, Foreign Babes in Beijing), and running five days a week! I had to restrain myself on the facebook, but all in all, it's not bad;) Breaking news in Iowa City, however, the 21 ordinance passed....and then failed, due to technical errors. So I guess the downtown will still have their "music." It was still quite a close vote 57% to 43%. In other news, I was extremely bummed earlier because my two rolls of film from Halloween didn't develop correctly:( None of it was usable. I was really, really excited to see the results too. No robots holding hands picture:( I wanted to cry a little, or punch something really hard.

*TGIF*

Yay! It's Friday and really at the moment...I don't have anything to do this weekend:( This is a first for the semester. I don't even have much homework. Gasp! Ohh, but I just had a thought I could rent a bike from TE and bike around Iowa City on Saturday. Maybe I will do that:) Otherwise current plans include sushi tonight! Yummy! Night games Saturday night and movie and hanging out with friends Sunday. Not bad, but I really want to road trip somewhere! Today I am going for a walk/photoshoot. I am hoping to catch the pretty fall colors before it all fades. Although at the moment, it is rather chilly. boo. Random note: I can't wait to see what my pictures turn out to be, especially my Halloween robots holding hands picture. I am going to take photos tonight at the "Saved by the Bell" dance in Currier....80's costumes and out of control nerds. It should be fun! Well, I must go because I have to practice with my Chinese partner for class. Today is italian cappincuno, fall, leaves, sushi, photos, hikes...ooohhhh I'm excited:)

Inspiration:) + Happy All Saints Day

Inspired by my scrapbooking idol, Elsie Flannigan. I wish I could link this. Here I will try: http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/ Just maybe that might work;) I'm not tech savvy, yet somehow I was elected for web master of the Invisible Children University of Iowa Chapter. I, in no way, expressed that I wanted this position. I didn't even attend the meeting. Nevertheless, I added a link to Elsie's blog because posed an interesting question. Who is your hero? I would have to say....my older sister Ingrid. She is my role model in life. She is driven, determinded, and works harder than anyone I know. Plus, I feel like at times, she is the only person that really understands me:) She's my bff. In the scrapbooking world, it would be Elisie though:) Who is your hero/idol?
