.flight booked.

Random blessing today:: my second class got canceled today, so I was able to study another hour and have some God time before my Psalms mid-term! I ended up getting an 86% on my mid-term, which I'm happy with. I was above the class average of 82%.

My mom booked my flight for thanksgiving! I'm excited to go home even just for three days. What will you be doing for thanksgiving?

.RED dress.

So here's the dress! Though I felt super dressed up in class today, I enjoyed wearing my new red dress! I received multiple compliments about the dress while working today! We are getting a fabulous blue one in for the winter if you're interested! Though it's not yet posted on the site nor in the store! Come this Sunday though, and you'll find it!

You can obviously tell I'm in mid-term week because my bed isn't bed. So don't mind it! Time to study!
Goodnight!

.roasted pumpkin seeds.

MMM! Love roasted pumpkin seeds! A sure way to know fall is here! And since your carving pumpkins, why not make a delicious snack while you are at it!

2 c. Pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp. butter (melted)
1 tsp. salt

Rinse seeds well and stir with butter in a bowl. Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle salt on top.
Bake at 250 Degrees until slightly brown (usually about 30-45 minutes).
Cool and Enjoy! =)

.10 short thing's I've learned from college.

While talking with a friend today who's going through her first year of college, I realized just how much I have learned from when I first started college! Here are a few things::

1) The dorms are usually only really hot for the first two weeks of school, after that -- they are freezing!

2) Study in intervals of 20 minutes. As in study, take a snack break, paint your nails, straighten your room, change laundry, make some coffee... do something besides study. You remember things better when it's in short intervals.

3) Don't worry -- seriously. Things will work out. Whether it's your major, the homework pile on your desk stacked high and due the next day, it will get done. So don't stress. Just trust God.

4) Keep up on your dishes - because mold develops quicker then your realize.

5) Stay up on projects -- don't save them for the last minute

6) Take time to have fun. Whether that means doing your homework a little later, just take a break to develop relationships.

7) Make time for yourself - not you and your friends, you and your homework - time for you to do what you want and relax.

8) {ET} Phone Home

9) Always have backup food in your room for days when the caff just wont do.

10) Volunteer & work -- do things connected to what you want to do!

Just a few short thoughts! Mod Pizza and pumpkin carving tonight with  tim! It was really fun!

.I've survived to day 5!.

It's day 5 of running! An I'm still alive! Just thought I would point that out! =)

I love reading "A Cup of Jo"'s Blog! She had this cute post about modern fairy tale covers and thought I would share them!

Outfit post for the day (don't mind my unmade bed behind me, I was washing my sheets):

.Highest High Heals.

this morning started out early for a Saturday! I had to be at the Kirkland waterfront by 8:30 to take pictures for the 5k I mentioned in yesterday's blog. I will say it's great to get back into doing some photography work! I haven't done much since moving to Seattle! It's just about connecting with people in this area. So if you ever need a photographer and you are in the Seattle area, let me know! Lindsay, my RA from last year, brought me coffee in payment for photography. So excited to see that woman. She's phenomenal! I have plenty of pictures, but this is just one I quickly grabbed...

Following that, I got ready for the day and headed to work! I may have been crazy to wear my highest heals, but I actually survived the 6 hour shift without killing my feat! I just haven't worn these heals in so long... I have two things to note of this pictures. 1) Don't look at my hair.... 2) Don't mind my messy room.
It was kind of one of those days where I was running around like crazy!

Oh! One more thing. I bought some Teavana Chai Loose leaf tea that I'm really excited for. A little expensive, but the tea is well worth it.
