Why FINGERS?

Today my friend Nick exposed me to the craziness that is in fact Vibram Five Fingers. These bad boys are supposed to be "barefoot shoes." And when you're barefoot "your movements become the movements of a child--playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident." However, if you are actually a child you cannot own these babies, because they run from $75-$90 [plus shipping and handling, of course.] I don't know how I feel about the individual toe thing, but the idea sounds interesting. They'd be great for rock climbing and surfing though! I hope these "shoes" make you smile!

I still can't figure out why they're not Five Toes, though. [shrug]

Interview Thursday

"Another staff person who you will meet regularly is the Office Assistant (OA). OAs are students who work at the front desk in your building. The desk is staffed 24 hours a day all days that you are here. OA’s answer questions, distribute mail, complete office work and most importantly monitor your safety. They make sure the fire safety equipment is monitored at all times. They provide services to you as a resident like selling stamps, making change, checking out equipment and much more. You too can become an OA; applications are usually available at your front desk or from your Residence Hall Director."

I applied this week for an Office Assistant position for next year. I only applied Friday, and got an e-mail to make an appointment for an interview today. But, then, the guy from the office called me, so hopefully they're targeting me! This way I can get around 20 hours minimum wage during school for some spending money. Sounds good to me! :) Plus you just sit there, so it's prime homework time! Rock on.

Nabokov

Lolita (1955) is a novel by Vladimir, first written in English and published in 1955 in Paris. The book is both internationally famous for its innovative style and infamous for its controversial subject: the narrator and protagonist, Humbert Humbert, becomes obsessed with a 12-year-old girl named Dolores Haze (aka Lolita.)

We are currently about a fourth of the way into this novel, Lolita, in my American Lit. class. It seemed fairly interesting (and creepy) so last night my friend Shannon and I rented the movie from the JCK Library (1962 version) - between the b&w and the terrible acting we soon ventured out to Blockbuster to rent the 1997 version which was MUCH better. And as an added bonus had the girl from Working Girl in it - (Melanie Griffith) This version also seems to be a much closer match to the book.

I was also made to watch the movie Twilight last night with Shannon and Sam I laughed the practically the entire time. I don't think I should be allowed to watch it with an actual fan. :P

Bridesmaid Dresses

<--- Dan & Sara's Wedding

Chris & Chrissy's Wedding --->

Ladies and gentlemen let the weddings begin!!! I just recieved an e-mail saying that my 2nd bridesmaid dress is here!

Both are lovely. The one to the left is a from David's Bridal. "Sleeveless short brocade dress with roll over collar, v-back and full box pleated skirt" The one to your right is from a Watters & Watters collection. "Dupioni Silk and Leaver Lace. This strapless gown features a crumb catcher bodice, dropped waist and a dupioni silk sash and knee-length skirt."

I'm very excited to wear both of these dresses; however I'm more excited to be at these weddings!!

My replacement-replacement-replacement phone!

So, so far this is the replacement phone that I have that actually works! This is an LG Chocolate VX8550. My previous phone was the VX 8500 - the very first chocolate... it was RED and beautiful. I was actually given a Maroon VX8550, but it had issues and had to be replaced with this black one. Hopefully this phone won't crap out on me. I was offered a brand new chocolate 3 but I don't like the flip phone... plus it's huge! I opted for my 3 referbished phone, which seems to be working out fairly well.
I'm hoping that this one behaves itself so that I might be able to settle down with my phone. I want to prevent it from being scratched to hell, so I've been looking into the invisibleSHILD [by Zagg]. Sadly the older chocolate and chocolate 3 are both on clearence for like $7, but the chocolate 2 seemes to be still trendy, because it's still about $25.

Here's to not dropping my phone before I can get an invisibleSHILD for it!!

At least-8th in the Nation

Bowling Championship Field Announced

The eight-team field for the 2009 National Collegiate Women's Bowling Championship is out

Finals are here!

So it's been a while, but I've seen most of you people since then! :D

Thanksgiving was wonderful and I enjoyed so much being home... finally. Lately I've been enjoying my newly acquired MacBook. Having a laptop has made thing so much easier for me. AND having the Photoshop Suite made it amazing to design a t-shirt for Greek Week. (Hopefully it wins, and it will be on everyones shirt!) This is it! --click on it to see it bigger.

Anyway, Finals are going pretty well. I got an A on my portfolio and final for b&w photography and I know that I have an A in my Graphics class/lab. My chemistry grade is on the edge. I took my final for that yesterday, so I'm just waiting for the verdict to come it. I'm guessing I'll most likely have a B, sadly. Oh well, nothing that can be done about it now. I only have one final left, thank goodness. My final on individual and family relationships... it should be my easiest final. :)

I need to sign up for the class that lets me make all of Chrissy's wedding invitations. I know... the coolest MOH ever right? Exactly. lol. Other than that I don't really have much to do to get ready for next semester. So my flight leaves KC at 8pm (Central Time) here which means that I'll be landing in Indy at about 10:15pm (EST). So I probably won't see many people until Saturday or Sunday. ...Well I'm off to study for my last final!
