day 011. [jenny]

First off, Happy Birthday to Cheyenne Tubo, Keenan Moore, and MY MOM!!!

Hope you guys had an awesome day :)

Other than going to both BibTrad & History (Yes, Tarra I went to both of them :P). Because Dr. Els is applying for tenure, we didn't get our tests back :|

I was really hoping for that, haha.

I decided to not go to the library because I didn't really have a need to go there. Tomorrow though I'll be there and I'll for sure update on a new book that you didn't know was there! Be ready for the surprise!!

The best part of today though was when Miss Jenny Gresham came by to give me my bracelet. That's not the only reason why she came by though. She's also here because her brother's high school graduation is today at the Chiles Center (that's pronounced Chai-els, not Chili's). We went to Starbucks where I got a Venti Passion Tea Lemonade. So good; it was like heaven in my mouth.

When we got back to the campus, she got some dinner at the Cove and we waited at the stairs for Alexa Olin to come by. We just chilled for a bit before they started to line up to go inside Chiles.

Once they got in, Melanie and I decided to go to Chipotle for dinner. That's about it though, but the best part about tonight is ... GLEE's Season Finale @ 9:00 PM!!!

day 008. [home]

Lo and behold ... The next place my friends and I went was - Oak Harbor! I'm so glad that we're here.

The initial reason why we came up to here was because I needed to get my other DSLR, ha. Long story short - ask me :)

So when we got here we first ended up playing some Mario Kart after we all took our showers, separately. I also surprised Steven by being his birthday present! It was actually a lot of fun playing Mario Kart with more than just Melanie. Although the thing is, having the TV divided into 4 parts was kind of confusing and a little different.

After that Keenan, Melanie, and I went out to 1-2-3 Thai (saw some old band-mates there) to get some lunch food because we were obviously hungry. Then I took them to a park that I grew up playing on as well as taking them on a tour around my elementary school. Memories man! It was a lot of fun just filling them in on the 5-10 year old Rick!! :D

Then we went to my middle school which happened to be right next to Blockbuster where I rented the last two discs of Glee. While at Blockbuster I also bought three movies: I Love You Beth Cooper, 500 Days of Summer, and UP! I took them on a tour of my middle school too.

If you're wondering - I didn't take them to my high school because we just went to my house seeing as my brother was going to take us out to eat. Seeing as we ate though, we were kind of still full, so we all just got dessert because the three of us weren't all that hungry from the Thai.

Afterwards, I dropped my brother off at the house so that the three of us could go out and take some pictures of the sky at West Beach. If there is one thing I miss for sure about living in Oak Harbor is that the sunsets are just amazing. I then decided to go visit a friend on a surprise visit :)

I haven't seen Kristen since Christmas break, so it was a lot of fun getting to see her and just catching up for that little bit we were there. I'll definitely be needing to catch up with her when I'm home for the summer ... for good!

Now the three of us are catching me up on episodes 9-13 of Glee!! YIPEE!!

day 007. [seattle]

*First off HAPPY ONE WEEK to me and my Project 365!!

Today was seriously another day where it was hard to choose the photo because I had so many. This time though, none of them had to do with school! It's because all of the photos I took were all around ... SEATTLE!!

My friends Keenan and Melanie and I decided to take a road trip. Luckily for us Melanie's sister goes to Seattle University so we're staying in her apartment. For the sake of pictures,I decided to not include any photos of the campus, haha. (seeing as most of my other pictures in my posts are regarding to my schoolwork and school life)

As for what we did, we walked from her sister's apartment to the Pike Place Market.

On the way down there we stopped at different places and we ate at this place called "Specialty." We also stopped at this really cool record shop that had turn tables.

When we finally reached Pike's Place I actually got to visit the original Starbucks. It was actually kind of cool, not all that exciting, but it was cool. We met this worker there who was from Oregon and told us that we should come up and bring her an "I heart Oregon" sticker. I have one, and I guess I could take a picture of it one day, haha.

I'm glad to be in Seattle. I left out some details, sorry guys, but I think it's time to hang out with my friends and her sister.

Where our road trip will take us next? Who knows? ;)

day 006. [bib trad]

I really wanted to put the picture up of my sushi from Sushi Land, but that's not what my day was and will be about :(

If it seems like a lot of my posts are about school and school work, guess what? You're right. They are and that's partially because it's what encompasses my day for the most part since right now I'm still a student when most of my fellow classmates are off doing summer kind of things.

I spent most of my day in the library (what's new?) because of the infamous class known as [dun dun dun ...] BIBTRAD!!

Now being in it, I don't find it all that bad - granted I'm also taking it in the summer where the demand is still high, but the work load is a bit less. I guess it's because I'm familiar with the Bible enough to know that I'm not too worried about understanding my passage.

As for the researching though ... that's some tedious work right there. Going into the stacks to find your books and realizing you're too short so you need a stool to get your books [darn my height]. Then actually sitting down and not just reading the book and taking notes, but comprehending what the text says. It's tedious, I'll give you ex-bibtrad students some credit for spending vast amount of hours in the library. Again, spending time in the library isn't foreign for me. It's kind of like when I go down the school supply aisle, I love it. I don't know how that analogy works, because it might, but I think it does, haha.

Anyways, enough about school work. I got this email today from ResLife and to keep this blog short click on this link to read more about it. It really was the worst feeling of the day. Just horrible.

The rest of my night went as planned: Dinner with Melanie (like usual), finished up some research for BibTrad, pack for my road trip this weekend with Keenan and Melanie, and hang out ... with Melanie, haha.

*I forgot to mention, the library is FILLED with Dr. Butkus' students right now because our rough drafts are do on Monday.
