Saturday Adventure

 Hi!

    Last night, I stayed up watching 10 Things I Hate About You and Enchanted until one in the morning. Both movies were pretty cute. I also finished a crocheted dinosaur for my new friend. It's their birthday.




    I woke up around 7 this morning. I called my boyfriend, and we were on the phone for ten hours! I ate granola bars for breakfast and Hersey Kisses for lunch. I ended the call just before 6 pm and went to eat dinner in the cafeteria.
    Afterwards, I got on my bike and rode around on a walking trail. Boy! did my legs burn afterwards. But when I was pedaling, I felt like I never had before. I had been wondering if I knew what I was doing with my life, what I was doing at college. Being out there, in the peaceful evening, made me wonder if all I need a little more outside time, a little more alone time, and a little more adventure. I didn't know where the road led; I was just going along. It hit me: I don't have to know everything. I don't have to be smartest one in the room. I don't have to have it all figured out. Everything will be okay anyway. I got back to my dorm at 7 pm. 
    What a day!

Friday Afternoon Update

     Hello!!

    Today wasn't a terrible day, thankfully. When I was getting breakfast in the cafeteria, someone told me my whole outfit was "just adorable." In my history class, we spend the whole hour watching a documentary about slavery. Slavery is horrifying, but I didn't have to take notes. In choir, we had sectionals, and the sopranos got through everything very quickly. We even went over the part we were supposed to learn on our own over the weekend.

    My Composition I class, however, almost made me "crash out." We had to write a reflection about the introduction to our book and how we see ourselves portrayed in media. That's all fine and dandy, but the introduction has basically nothing in it to use as evidence. I really struggled with the assignment. I mean, we had to write a paragraph with a topic sentence, two examples of evidence, two explanations of that evidence as it relates to our topic sentence, and an analysis of everything. I only got through the first example of evidence. In my defense, the professor only gave us 20 minutes.

    This is Labor Day weekend. My roommate is gone and, I assume, already at home. I will be all alone in this room for three days. I'm kind of thankful because I can turn the AC off and leave the light on as long as I want. On the other hand, it is eerily quiet in here. I can hear the people in the hall but not anything else.

    It got cold all of a sudden. This time last week it was almost 100 degrees, and now it's 72. I looked at the weather, and it's going to stay cold too. I know why perception of cold is different than most people's, but come on! It's August, and this is supposed to be the hottest part of Arkansas. I don't have enough cute pants for this. Speaking of which, I should do my laundry. Yesterday and today, it's been rainy and dreary.

    I supposed I should show what my outfit is.

Here's the cardigan:



I'm wearing a plain white long-sleeve shirt under it. I'm wearing jeans and rainboots.


My hair is definitely part of the outfit.

Someone told me it looks like my nanny was going to marry my father, and we were going to all sing together. I LOVE The Sound of Music, so this might become a new staple in my hairstyle rotation. It takes a lot of bobby pins told and kind of hurts my scalp, though. If I wear it regularly, I'll just have to "thug it out."
    Ciao,

My First Blog Post!

     Hi! My name is Becca.

    One of my professors said something about creating a blog to help with writing, so I thought to myself,  "This could be really fun."

    I've never had a blog before, so I'm not too sure of what I'll be posting here. As I'm writing this, I'm in between classes. I have choir in 30 minutes, and that's so a lot of time for me to do a lot of anything.

    I have 5 cats and 2 dogs at home. I like crochet, reading, and music. This blog is probably just going to be me yapping 24/7 about nothing.

    See you later,

        Becca
