Sleep Deprived and Excited

I'm very sorry to have seemed to disappear, but guess what? Summer is 2 days away! I'm beyond excited. I'm also very nervous because it is means I only have one year left and then I have to face the real world.

In other news, my birthday was Monday and I'm officially old. 21 is my new label. I didn't have any wild party or do anything out of the ordinary. Sunday night my roommate surprised me with friends, pizza, chips, and cookies which was sweet of all of them. Monday night my boyfriend took me out for frozen yogurt and then I stayed up all night editing animations for one of my class. Fun stuff!

I just figured I'd update you on my life and let you know that I was still alive!

Packing and Projects

Hello all!

I'm currently sitting amidst several packing boxes. End of the year packing is so sad. Next year will be my last year in college and then I'm off to face the world.

I just thought I would share with you what I'm working on!

I made this scene and I'm going to animate it for my After Effects video I am working on. I have a man I'm currently editing, and he'll be in the scene as well.

Also, I'm in love with my outfit today. It's entirely thrifted and it brings a bit of sunshine to this dreary and overcast day. It's a mustard sweater with a knee length white and grey striped skirt. =]

Good luck to anyone in college working on their finals! I am right there with you and will probably spend many late nights finishing all my work.

Love, love

Why I Love My Curling Wand

Here's the sitch. I have crazy curly hair. Curlier than probably 90% of white people's. So I have a lot of problems when I straighten my hair and even more problems when I try to curl it with a curling iron. When I use a curling iron, it takes so long to curl because the iron doesn't hold much hair and the iron takes a while to heat the strand and curl it.

As an early birthday present, my mom sent me a curling wand and it has changed my life! Now curling my hair takes only about 7 minutes, as opposed to over 30.

Well here is my big hair all brushed out so that I can straighten the roots and curl the ends.

The curling wand is amazing. I'd definitely recommend getting one. You won't regret it.

Allison's Shower

This weekend one of my closest friends had her wedding shower. It was so perfectly decorated, the food was delicious, and the games were very entertaining and fun.

Allison is so creative and everything she does is special and unique. I've known her since my freshman year of college and the photography and design work she produces is inspiring. So it only makes sense that her party was beautiful. Her fiance is a great match for her and I wish them the very best!

Allison is graduating in a couple weeks and I can't wait to see where God takes her on her creative journey. She is very talented and I know she is going to do incredible things with those talents.

Below are some glimpses of her photography. If you want to see more from her or know more about what she does, you can visit her website Tremont & Faye or visit her Facebook Page.

A Photo Update

Still wrapped up in all things academic and work, but here are some photos I took of a couple of my friends getting engaged! You can see the full set on my photo blog.

I'm also doing a review on a curling wand I just got. I am amazed at how awesome it works on my super curly hair, so I have to share.

Anyways, here are the photos!

I'll be back with updates soon! Summer and freedom is almost here!

Book Covered Box DIY

So sorry I haven't updated in about a week! I've been editing like crazy on all my projects and haven't been able to slow down and put a DIY post together. I finally did, and I hope you will enjoy it!

I just got a box of shoes in the mail and instantly got an idea of what to do with the box when I opened them up.

Yes my shoes size is as the box says. In case any of you were feeling generous. =]

I took the pages out of the book and separated the sides of the books from the middle.

Then I glued the middles of the books together at the end of the box.

And the sides of the books I glued to the sides of the box.

And then it blends in with the rest of the books.

With a secret storage space in the middle!

Today has been just lovely, I got a lot of editing done, and the weather was amazing. We had a high of 88 degrees. The sky was a lovely shade of blue, the air smelled of blooming bliss, and the wind was very gentle.

I hope the weather where you are is wonderful too!

A Lovely Day for a Walk

By some miracle, I finished my homework for the day early and so we went for a walk on the paths behind campus. I was teaching him how to smile for the camera. He's silly, but oh so cute.

We decided that we needed more pictures of us. Lately our schedules are just so busy and my camera never seems to be around when we hang out, but today was the perfect opportunity for us to hang out and snap some pretty photos of us.

He's so good to me.

I really liked our colors today so I took a picture of them.

Then Jonny decided to pass out on the grass. 

And Jonny was so excited to be holding a camera and taking pictures of me that he made me promise to post this one shot. He says, "It's so artsy." Haha

Anyways, I forgot to tell you about convention! It was really wonderful, we set up and tore down in record time and the director said this year's video/live production was the best year yet. He even added us all on facebook. I'm wearing my shirt from convention. The whole video crew decided to wear them today to be cool. Baaaaaaa


Finals is coming up. Oh dear! I can do this!

Love, love
