Day 4

Day 04 - A picture of your favorite night.

Homecomings in general are my favorite. The night before was the coolest high school tradition I have been introduced to while MHS. TPing with my girls has always been a blast and all eight sleepovers, parties, and "road trips" are some of the best nights of my life. (:

NOW:


This will be one picture that changes every time I think about this project.  I have wayyyy too many favorite nights. There is no easy answer to this question... so I will just have to say that any night with my freinds or family or doing something I love is my favorite night.

Day 3

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

Grey's is just the best show ever. I started watching it the summer between my freshmen and sophomore year on YouTube from 1 to 6 AM in segments of the entire 4th season. Now, I watch it like a normal person every Thursday and own three of the seasons. (:

NOW:

You all know the answer to this...

GLEE! This is by far my favorite show. Yes, I still love Grey's, but this show has just helped me through so much and I am very, very much a hardcore Gleek now!

Day 2

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.

James and I have been friends since the sixth grade sitting next to each other in Mrs. Cottrell's class. We played in band together, I cheered for him in football, and I have even dated him a few times lol. He finally took me to the Christmas dance like he promised my freshmen year and now he said he'll take me to prom! (Like he also said he would freshmen year ;) ) Seven years is a long time to know someone and allow them to know you and watch you grow up (which is scary) and allow them to stay that close all these years. I'm gonna miss him so much when we go our separate ways this fall, but he promised to write to me and that we'd always stay close.
I love you, James :)

NOW:

PS. Even though you still drive me up a wall, I miss you like crazy and I'd give anything to be able to go to your house at 12 am to play Sims 3 or make a late night Dillons run. Thank you for writing to me during Basic and calling me once a week. It was quite possibly the closest we've ever been, even though we were the furthest apart. Stay safe, enjoy California, and come visit me. (:

Love, Tay

Day 1

So about a year (or so) ago, I started a "30 Day Picture Challenge" on Facebook. I actually did it in 30 days, believe it or not. I still look over it from time to time to see how accurate it still is. I then decided that they were simple blog posts and I wanted to turn them into 30 blogs for when I didn't have anything else to post. If it's still the same as it was a year ago, then I won't change it. If it has, then I will post both to see how I've changed in a year.

I want to be able to look back someday and remember what I was thinking, what my motivations were, what was going on, etc.. which is why I do so many posts on reflection. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's a break from my head wanting to explode.

Sleep or No Sleep?

I am still getting the hang of this college thing. I thought I had it.. but I most definitely do not. I am very, very grateful I have wonderful teaching and lab TA's. They are working closely with me to make sure I do as well as I can here at KU and beyond... it's such a blessing. Especially since I keep getting sick! Living with all these people and all these germs is kicking my immune system's behind.

Halloween was a blast here! I didn't go out much, but I still had an amazing time with my friends in my costume. I can't wait for next year!

Big Mac's Hall Gov!!

Best Friends!! (:

Mitchell from Ells!! Love that kid!

Tonight, I talked Jessica into going to Walmart with me to pick up Harry Potter 7 Part 2 at midnight!!! It's the last time I'll ever get to go to Walmart at midnight for a Harry Potter anything... I've been watching it since the moment I got home. I have CHILLS! And TEARS! Its only the second time I've seen it having been shipped to StuCo Workshop the day of the premiere. Usually I see Harry Potter movies in theaters four times.. so I have a lot of catching up to do! (Goodbye July! and Midnight Tickets are my other blogs about HP7P2.)

Mom, Dad, Erynn, and Shae are coming into Lawrence on Saturday to see us play Baylor and hang out with me. Erynn and Shae are even going to stay with Claire and I in our room! Ironically, that morning, I have to go to KC with my Honors class as a community service trip. And that Sunday, I have to work at E's... and do my homework. So it's going to be a fantastically busy weekend. (: But with Thanksgiving and Christmas so close, it's hard not to count down the days and be anxious to go home (35 days, 16 hours... for Christmas). James and Chris are both coming home that day as well, and it will be wonderful to see them again. I even got permission from James to see him at the airport because I will be in KC at a Med Center visit. (: I am wayyy too excited.

Next time this week, I will be at the Breaking Dawn Midnight Premiere! This is honestly what I love most about college; practicing my skills at staying up late and/or all night. I have successfully pulled two all nighters here at KU and many, many late nights (such as tonight). Some are homework related, others are friends keeping my butt up late... Moral of the story, however, is I wouldn't change a thing. (:

Today is 11-11-11.. supposedly a very special day. I intend to see that through. ;) Sleep or no sleep.

♥Thank you to all the Veterns who have served, and are serving. You know how much you mean to me. (:
