I love Nicole Atkins.
There is something amazingly soothing about the way she croons. Lyrically beautiful. I used to tell myself that if Feist, Pink Martini and Karen Carpenter(sad face) were to ever put together a concert, it would be a lineup that I would give an arm, leg and maybe a kidney to see; but I think now, I have to add Nicole Atkins to that line-up. And before you tell me that they're all from different genres, theres congruency in their music to me.
Its been a few days since I've written- Our BADM 323 M&M's Faces presentation went really well; I think its the first group I've been in where I've felt that every member was an equal contributor. Its a great feeling, but I do feel it led to our success. Kesebir loved it- she kept talking about how we set the bar pretty high.
Here's an awkward group picture-
I need to learn how to smile better.
We got the ECON 302 exams back- scored perfectly on the written portion and flat out failed (50%ed) the mc section which is weird because you'd think that knowing how to work out all of the problems would ensure that my knowledge of the material was stable, right?! NOT SO.
My friend called me a few days back and told me the CRAZIEST story I have ever heard- okay maybe not craziest, but definately not a story I hear everyday from my friends. And I only find it funny because I'm glad, I guess that nothing happened to him, really.
I've been having trouble with productivity lately; and my sleep schedule has been pretty unnatural- its messing with my skin again.
I got to get to know a girl from one of my classes the other day- we went to Express for the Columbus Day sale and I got the cutest little poncho thing. I got a pretty sweet deal on it- maybe I'll post a picture later- my camera is kind of dead, and I think I might end up just buying myself a new one.
I feel happy though, having gotten to know some new people lately, better.
I am having an awesome time hanging out with Liz- she is the funnest, silliest girl ever. So cheesy, but I'm glad that shes one of the new roommates =] OH!! I finally got to meet her family today, after weeks of sleeping through their visits. She always tells me these stories about them, and so today when her Dad came down for the Homecoming game, I was able to meet him and her sister (who is my year) on my way out. They're a really fun, cute family; makes me miss my own.
I have to get cracking on this ANTH reading though =[ 20 chapters, I wish I hadnt put it off for so long!! More stories later.
