Ah Texas. There is nothing more that I love than Texas.
I haven't done much of anything this week other than shopping and eating. Shopping and eating. I love it. I could do it all day if I had unlimited funds.
There's also been some down time mixed in, especially at night. It's nice to just lay down and check up on facebook/twitter/blogs and then read. I've already read 1.5 books thus far and it's only day 4 of 9. I hope to have two more finished by the time I return to Missouri.
That's all that's really happening here in Texas. We're just trying to get in as much shopping and amazing food as possible. It really helps that Katy's mom took off work this week to help us decide on places to go. :)
I haven't been keeping up with my blog because honestly, by the time I have time to do it, I'm exhausted. I was up for 21 hours on Friday and my body is regretting that. On top of the fact that I didn't get much sleep last week anyways, I could use as much sleep as possible. However, it would be nice if my body wasn't automatically set to wake up between 8:30 and 9:30 when I don't have anywhere to be. Lame.
Until next time <3

Top 2 Tuesday
Today's Top 2 Topic: Random Facts About You.
1. I can't take the paper wrapping off of my napkin at a restaurant. I don't know what it is, but I hate the sound of the paper wrapping on the paper napkin. Whomever I am with (usually Lynsie or Katy) takes it off for me. I can hear other people take theirs off, but there is something about mine that drives me nuts - like nails on a chalkboard. Maybe it's the feeling. Who knows.2. I'm a serial dater. I haven't been single for more than 2 weeks at a time since the 8th grade. I've been single for almost 4 months now and that's a long time for me. It's weird.
I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that I had to ask two friends for random facts about me. This is way more difficult than I thought!

Scrapbook Saturday
Since I was traveling all day yesterday headed to Texas for Spring Break, I wasn't able to do Five Question Friday. Expect that a lot this week. I'll be spending my time in the Texas heat and shopping :)
But for scrapbook Saturday, I'm posting a picture of me and my grandfather than I edited a few months ago. It's the 2 year anniversary of his death, so this picture means a lot to me.
But it's off to Chik-fil-A! YUM.

Thankful Thursday
Thankful Thursday. All morning I have been trying to think of something meaningful to be thankful for, but the only thing that comes to mind right now is caffeine. This week = drastic lack of sleep. I'm a person that runs off of the typical 8 hours of sleep. This week, the most I have gotten in one night has been 5.5 hours and it's not looking good for tonight either. I have my first on-air performance tomorrow (although don't let that make you think it's a big deal. It's only for 2ish minutes) but it's during the Today Show. This requires me to be at the station by 5:30. Sure, I don't have to put makeup on and sure, I don't have to have my hair perfectly fixed yet, but it has to be dried and semi-styled and I have to be showered. This wouldn't seem like a big deal if I was able to go to bed at say, 8:00 tonight. Buuuut I can't. I leave tomorrow around 3:00 pm for spring break in Texas and I am very much behind on the lovely little things called laundry and packing. I am done with classes today at 12:15 but am going into work to prep as much stuff as possible for the time we are gone, so I won't be able to start laundry/cleaning/packing until 3 or 4 today. Long story short - It's going to be a long two days.
Feel free to watch me tomorrow on KOMU at 7:55 and 8:25 :)

Reformation
Since I'm currently in my History of the Reformation class, I should be taking notes. But I have mentally checked out and spring break is on my mind! So I'm recording the lecture on my computer and will listen to it and type out notes when I start to study for our next test. It'll help with studying...right? Totally.
To do something to make the 2 hours and 20 minute class go by, I've decided to copy Lynsie and do this:
10 How's
1) How did you get your scars?
I have quite a few scars. I have one on my knee from when I first learned to shave. I have one on my elbow from scraping it alongside a boat in Minnesota. I have a chicken pox scar on my chin. I'm sure I have plenty more but they're all miniscule and insignificant.
2) How did you celebrate your last birthday?
On my actual birthday, I was sick with some sort of head cold but my boyfriend at the time (now ex) took me out to eat to Kobe and we watched movies all night. The day after, I got pink eye. Great birthday.
3) How are you feeling at this moment?
I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything but a few chips since breakfast this morning.

As a freshman, I was ranked 40th out of 1,167 students. By the time I had graduated, I was 140th out of 1,167. I tried really hard the first two years and then realized Notre Dame, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton didn't have a broadcast program, so I backed off a little bit.

I bought it at Old Navy
7) How often do you see your best friend?
I have multiple. My two here in Missouri that I see all the time. And another one lives in New Hampshire so I don't see her very often at all.
8) How much money did you spend last month?
Not that much. I'm trying to save for spring break!
9) How old do you want to be when you get married?
I want to be married by 25ish. Hopefully. I had better get a move on with that. I turn 21 in 38 days. Crap.
