halfway there

I'm done with spanish, and as of 12 minutes ago, history. All that's left is theology (ugh, my hand is going to hate me when I finish that one . . .) and geology (which won't be easy, but I have Wednesday and Thursday to study for it and it's pretty simple stuff to study. Plus, it's actually pretty interesting). And then I'm done! The end is so close. Right now, I'm going to study for theology and sell my history textbooks because I don't want to see them for one more second.

how I spent my saturday

Tonight, I finally went to a Calvin Improv show. I was really impressed. They were so talented and funny. I had a great time.

I am also studying for finals. I can't wait for it to be 4:30 on Tuesday. After that, I will just have Geology, and I will have two whole days to study for it. I'm much more worried about Spanish, Theology, and especially History. Christmas break has never looked so good.

hair update

Due to popular demand, here is a new picture of my hair. Last night, Aubrey dyed my hair and Meredith straightened it. I couldn't get a good picture showing the color difference, but there is a difference, trust me. With my hair straight, my new haircut is more obvious and easier to see.

a pleasant surprise

Friday night, Calvin showed Hairspray in the auditorium, and I was surprised at how good it was. It was just the right kind of musical, and nearly every song was enjoyable. Also, not only was it just a good old fun movie, but there was a decent amount of substance in it. All in all, it was a fun time and a refreshing diversion from regular everyday life. Not to mention that the soundtrack is wickedly catchy =).

new hairdo

Meredith cut my hair about 30 minutes ago. And I really like it. I always forget about that great feeling you get after getting a haircut. Well, I have that feeling right now. I love changing my hair--it always makes my day special.

Update: Andrew, this one's for you. Also note that Meredith and I decorated for Christmas and hung lights around our window. I love our room =)

Update again: The picture up is my new haircut. It's really hard to see, so y'all will just have to wait until Christmas to see it in person.

life this november

Whew, it's been awhile since I last updated this blog. Life has been pretty crazy recently. I had a religion midterm yesterday, and geology and history midterms on Friday. All I can say is that I'm ready for a nice break. I've already started to enjoy it, because I don't have anything due until Monday.

Andrew visited the weekend before last, and we had a lot of fun. It was good to see someone that I knew before I came to Calvin. Besides just getting the chance to hang out with my older brother.

Meredith and I recently bought a futon, and we love it. It makes naps and watching movies so much more convenient. Not that we need our favorite pastimes to become more convenient, but it is nice to be able to invite people in and offer them a place to sit down that isn't our beds.

One of my favorite things on my floor is the free box. There's a box in the coffee kitchen that people can put their old clothes in. Needless to say. I have become best friends with this box and I have gotten several very cute things from it. That's about the extent of my life right now: homework, naps, hanging out with people, and finding free clothes.

Update: I tried to post this over a week ago and aircalvin hasn't been working on gmail and blogger. It was most frustrating. But it's fixed now, and it wasn't my fault that it's been so long since I updated.
