Caught in a Whirlwind

I realize it has been more than 2 months since I have last posted and. Basically this semester has not been a cup of tea - I'm not totally thrilled with my classes, plus I'm taking more credits than my brain can handle so I will be very glad to be done with this fall (exactly 2 weeks to be precise!).

So much has happened over the last couple months, that it would be hard to go into detail about everything that has happened. Instead I will post some photos highlighting what I've done.

I made sushi at an event hosted by one of the student groups and was taught how to wear and tie a traditional kimono (see the rest below the cut)

He exists!

My college does Big Sib, Little Sib for all the first years in the houses and it has been an awesome week so far. Monday I received a little labrador retriever figurine in a doghouse made of tea on my door. Tuesday I received a sparkly red ornament that was a replica of an 1890's period shoe. Today I received a pretty pink rose in a vase with a card signed by Mr. Darcy. This is enough to make my life!! What other girl has the opportunity to receive a flower from one of her favorite fictional men? And I am now very thankful to have the same name as his romantic partner.


Also, this is my 50th blog post. Huzzah! I feel it right to celebrate with an appropriate quote:

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment ~ Jane Austen"
