i can do all things through WOLFIE!

i neeeeed this cup ASAP

it is currently 3:09 AM!!!! i have been up attempting to study for an oceanography test. this is my first break. all ten fingers have writers cramp and it is extremely painful! i have consumed about 3 drip coffees and a king sized kit kat...solid diet i know. at this point i feel like none of the information that i just tried to absorb actually stuck.

hottie.

to keep myself going i have been listening to Mozart radio on pandora. not only do i feel smarter, but i fall deeper and deeper in love with wolfgang amadeus mozart = genius.
we might as well skype right now bc i will be up!

it feels like eternity.

i was sitting in a critique for throwing and the girl behind me was talking about how Paris is her favorite city in the world and then who did i get a text from?! YOU! i feel like summer will never come! this week just started and i already want it to be over! i am extremely stressed because i have to register for classes soon, i just wrote a 10 page paper due Thursday, I have a test tomorrow that i havent even started to study for...and im sure there is more, i just cant think of it.
this last month needs to go by FAST! i want it to be summer sooo bad! i really wish that we could get an apartment by the pier, decorate it, and get breakfast every morning at La Galette or Antoines. awhh sounds devine! OH...first addition to the summer list: we need to go to NICKS on del mar! you would DIE! it looks soooo cute!

k i have distracted myself long enough.

EXHAUSTION....

I am BEYOND exhausted. I literally can not do anything right now, and I have SOOO much I HAVE to do.... Not fair. 

I got back to Paris this morning. Laid down in bed and fell asleep for 10 hours. I am beyond exhausted. It was a long amazing trip... I'll do a post on it once I get organized (that might take a while). 

I have so much to do and so much I want to get done... and I have no strength or motivation to do it. 

I am sorry I didn't blog while I was gone, the internet was too slow for anything but quickly checking facebook. It wouldn't even load the blog. 

But in response to your posts: 1. OMG about your formal. That is so sad and horrible and I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT! I feel so bad, I literally do NOT know what to say. I am soo sorry that happened to you. It sucks! (We will have to talk more about it on skype)

2. ME TOO! I am in total body-reconstruction mode. I am going to Greece in less than a month and as of right now I will NOT put on a bathing suit, so I need to do some major work! But I am proud of you for working out so fervently. (and duh you need to look good for my backyard this summer... BUT IM NOT ENCOURAGING ANYTHING!!!!) 

3. YES. We WILL be getting a French Bulldog. The second I can I will be getting a french bulldog and a dapple dachshund. They have been on my list forevaaaaaa... I LOVE THEM!!!!!! (and freaking of COURSE ashely olsen has one... since freaking when?!?!) 

Okay, love you... SKYPE soon! Whenever you are free I am ready... just text me! 

Loveeee, 

c

this is a necessity...

ummmmmm... sooo when we live together we are getting this ASAP! eeeeekkkk its sooo cute! ok that all! i hope your having an amazing day! i love you/miss you!

workin on my fitness, she's ma witnesss

so i have been really diligent about going to the gym...and it feel really good! when i went home for spring break i randomly got super motivated to work out everyday! i would run the beach trail from either north beach to state beach and back (5 miles) or just from the pier to state beach and back (2 miles). the elliptical isnt the same as running on a beach trail, but i work up just as much of a sweat. i guess im motivated for summer! gotta look good for you know who when im laying out at your pool all summer long...jk...haha but seriously ;).

not the best way to start a birthday weekend...

but ill take what i can get! i dont have class on friday, therefore i had a whole entire day to prepare and stress out about formal. i had so much nervous energy that i went to get my nails done and got acrylics because it took longer! i already hate them and want to rip them off, btw. i get back to my room and the roomies are already getting ready to go out and pregame before they have to be back at Theta to check in. i had to do 50 million things before i could even think about getting ready, so i just ignored them. the house was empty and i had about an hour to spare before everyone got to the house to check in and go through security, before loading the buses. I decided to go hang out at my friends house before, but i was so nervous and anxious that i just went back to the house. people started arriving and me and my risk manager felt that we had things under control. i was expecting about 150 people to come...i would say about 210 people showed up! it was soooo chaotic and everyone was soooo drunk. i was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to control the entire situation. i had gotten two buses loaded, and the first round of buses were ready to leave for the venue. i felt like everything was running relatively smoothly, until i saw ambulances! i couldnt really deal with the situation bc i needed to get people to the venue, because the house was still so crowded. so i left...got people to the venue...and then my worst nightmare came TRUE! my president called me and said that they were calling off formal! apparently girls went to the hospital, people were given MIP's, and urinating in public tickets were given out! it was out of control and it had to be called off! 3 months of planning, $10,000, and a lot of people's time was completely wasted. it was definitely not a great start to my birthday weekend. when i got the news my stomach immediately dropped and i ran down the hall to the elevators and called my mom sobbing. she didnt really know what to say except for sorry, which was all she could say. everyone was ok, which i couldnt ask for anything more, but i was extremely disappointed and upset. that night i had to wake up every 2 hours and check on girls that were staying at the house who were really drunk, to make sure that they were ok.

the next morning, molly, annie, patrice, and molly's friend carol brought me cupcakes, flowers, sparkling cider, and presents. we went to THE cutest place for brunch, called The Huckleberry and then this reallllly amazing mediterranean restaurant called The Med for dinner. i was thankful that i had good friends surrounding me on my birthday, even though i wish you could have been there.

nothing was really going on Saturday night, so i was only out for like an hour, but it was fine bc i was so tired from all of the damage control that i had to do regarding Friday nights events. 

i hope Ethiopia is as amazing as it was last time! i cant wait to see pictures and here stories!

OH! and i have to tell you and your mom what i am doing for my final project for throwing! i know you guys will die!

xoxo (thanks again for the bday post, i LOVED it!)

Three Words: Facebook Chat Message....

As you know,  I had a very fun night... Ending in some frustrations *cough cough* ... hahah but for real, i did have a fun night... Now I will be wandering the streets of Paris all day and chillin' in bed all night. . . All my friends already left for their various spring break adventures, and I don't leave until Sunday. So until then I am on my own... I don't mind though...

thirsty thursday

i have changed the common saying T.G.I.F. to T.G.I.T.= Thank God its Thursday! tonight is my favorite dinner at Theta: thirsty thursday h'orderves! because i will be running around like a crazy psychopath on friday night, because of formal, i wont be able to celebrate the end of my teenage years! so i thought that i might celebrate a little early! so thank god its Thirsty Thursday! i tried to look up thirsty thursday pics on google, one word of advice: dont do it!

i wish i could wear this dress for my birthday/for formal! i have a new found love: Elizabeth&James!!!!! mostly because its the Olsen twin brand, but their clothes and shoes are awesome!!!

Helllllloooo LOVERRRR...this love is entangled with my new love for clogs! can we please just buy clogs together and wear them together so that we dont look like freaks?!

and i neeeeed these sandals for summer! oooooh if only i could be rich and famous! life would be peachy!

in my dreams

March-O Polo....

Umm March? Hello? Where'd Ya Go?!?

HOW IS IT ALREADY APRIL?!?!?!?! What the HELLLLLL?!? 

April is totally fucking with my head right now. Its like, "1-2-3-4-5... Ready or not here i come"

Well I guess I just have to accept it and take it, head on. (Can't lie, it means summer is closer... and that means home, pool, beach, sun, tan, shopping again, adventures, and most importantly... YOU! ahhhhh soooo excited!)

I am excited to get my hair done... It would be way fun to get it done together. I NEVER said you would look bad with lighter hair. I just said I LOVE you with dark hair... How light were you thinking? Like this...

Awww look how cute you were...




SOOO are you a freaking MIND READER?!?! Last night I made like 20 posts and I will post them progressivly... and one of them was all about clogs, slingbacks, and wedges... I am OBSESSED with them for the summer! I want like a bazillion pairs... I don't remember what date I set it to post... But check when its up... my favorite pair are these Gucci slingbacks... But i LOVE the Miu miu ones!!!


And our twenties are going to be freaking BOMB DIGGITY!!!! Get f*ckkking excited!!!! AHHHHHH


It will be 10 pm here when you are free... so I shouldn't skype because I need to SLEEEPPPP... But maybe like 45 minutes?!?! Text me when you can..

i smell summer

thankfully i came back to boulder and it was soooo nice! when i left to come home for break it was snowing, and we ended up getting like 2 feet of snow!!! i think its supposed to be in the high 70's tomorrow!! wo hoooo

i wish we could go get our hair done together!!!! i want my hair to be lighter sooo badddd!!! i know you think it will look bad but im gunna prove you wrong! haha

fyi...i WANT those MIU MIU print shoes, but the CLOGS!!!! have you seen them!? they are sooo cute! for some reason, i have a weird fetish for high heeled clogs...Jeffrey Campbell has a really cute pair out right now, in black and camel brown! i saw them im laguna, but i couldnt convince my mom to buy them for me :( i just think they will be really fun and practical during the summer with cut off shorts or dark skinny jeans!

i am having a little anxiety over turning 20! do you realize how much stuff you have to do in your 20's!!!??? graduate, get a job, get married, have kids, buy a house/car...the list goes on...but im ready for it all to start, considering that i am seriously over school right now!

i wanna skype asap! i will be home from 2-3:30 tomorrow (my time)

It Is Time For Sleep...

 I am sorry about your blue laundry. That is precisely why i do NOT do my own laundry...


i drank a cappuccino yesterday night and slept less than an hour last night. i was literally laying in my bed at 6:30 am saying WTF is going on!?! So i am going to sleep early tonight. I hope I am not a zombie tomorrow.


I am getting my hair colored and i am going to do something crazy. I dont know what yet, but something. I am not getting it cut, so that leaves me with color-craziness... I'm pretty sure I am going to put a streak in the front like Rihanna's, but in the red color on the right. I dont know yet, I will decide on the spot... The language barrier will be interesting... but I am going to a Toni and Guy, so it should be fine... Where is Jenni when i need her?!?! Anyway, I  want something fun and new for summer, s we will see... ! :)

We still have to skype... Let me know when you are free tomorrow... loveee youu and miss your face!!!

blue blue blue BLUE...a;l#(*&$&@

yesterday, i started a white load of laundry before me and fam left to go the Newport Marriott for the day...i came home to BLUE clothes. long story short, i put ONE pair of jeand in the load, and didnt realize that the temp was set for warm/cold!!!! whoooops! so now practically all of my theta tank tops, and my FAVORITE Gap pocket tank, is a light blue. bennett tried to console me by telling me that he accidentally put a red shirt in his white basket, and all of his clothes turned pink...i didnt feel so bad after that haha! lesson learned! i will never be washing jeans with any of my white ever again!

i cant wait to hear all about your crazy weekend...you need to hear all about my semi crazy spring break!

oh! and i TOTALLY agree with making a crazy list idea! love it!

Party Like A ROCKSTAR....

I have had the most AMAZING weekend... I finally decided it was time get a little crazy...  soo I did! I have to  tell you about it! I need to talk to you... it has been forever! I'm not diggin' the separation. 

I want to come to Florence!!!!! But I want to come alone... I don't want to share that time with our mothers... sorry charlie... not that I don't love them, I just think we will have more fun with just us... 

I am glad you had fun with my mom... she IS pretty amazing. I love her a lot! 

I am soooooo excited for summer. Lets make a CRAZY list and do crazy weird things! Okay! Thanks... Love you!

I am not looking forward to this week... I have a huge paper due, as well as two detailed outlines for two other huge papers... I haven't done ANY work this semester, and now the professors are like SURPRISE, "school" time! So lame. 

Anywho... we have to get a lot of skyping time in this week before I leave for Ethiopia. Deal? DEAL!

I love you and I hope that you are having a fantabulous time at home! 

BTdubs... less than a WEEK until you are TWENTY!!!!!! Sooo weird! AHHH

Loveeee,

slacker to the MAX

im soooo sorry about how bad i have been with the blog! the week before i came home was crazy busy...and i didnt have a lot to blog about! but being home was the perfect remedy that i needed. i was soooo over school and i just needed a break.

your day sounded amazing! i am sooo jealous! when we go to paris we will have to replicate that day! i told you mom, when we had lunch, that you, your mom, my mom, and maybe dante, should all come out to Florence for my 21st bday! wouldn't that be sooo fun?! i think so ahaha. your mom and i were so bummed that you werent at lunch with us! you are seriously sooo lucky to have your mom. she is THE easiest person to talk to!

so far, break has just been really relaxing. i have no updates regarding our convo that we had over skype, i just ended up going to my friends house in dana point and he was just being lame and not texting me. and you know who is in newport and wants to hang...DONT WORRY im staying strong! hahah

skyping you yesterday made me miss you terribly, but it made me SUPER excited for summer! we seriously need to make a list of all the stuff that we want to do! number 1 on my list is BE TAN! haha

im dreading going back to school because i have to look forward to writing a 10-12 research paper, formal, my birthday, and easter...WOOF!! waaaayyy too much stuff in one week! the whole month of april is crazy! i have soooo much stuff to do for the theta and school...and i just have summer on my mind

love you!

Slow Jukin'!!!

So, today I had an amazing day. I went to french class, went to an open air market and bought so much! I got strawberries, Portuguese beans (my favorite ever!), sausage, and a falafel... it was all delicious! Then we went to Angelina's, which is an amazing restaurant, across the street from the Tuilleries, that is FAMOUS for it's amazing desserts and liquid-chocolate bar- hot chocolate! It is beyond amazing. Then headed over to the Eiffel Tower, with a few bottles of Rose Chamgpagne in tow, and just laid on the grass and listened to music and hung out... It was amazing. I went with 6 other girls on the program and had the GREATEST time! I wish you were here to experience all this with me!


I am in a really happy positive place in my life. I am loving every second of it!


How are you and life? And being HOME?!?! Get back on your blogging game... NOW... please and thank you.


Loveeee,
c


P.S. I put Slow Jukin' as the title because it just came on on my iTunes and it made me think of you :) love you!

JEALOUS jealous JEALOUS!

Look, it's you and me! (hahaha... can you guess which one I am?!)

So I know that my last post said I was a blog failure, then I didn't do anything about it. BUT this time I will hold TRUE to my statement. I WILL do better! I am home for a substantial amount of time (it is sad that I consider 10 days a substantial amount of time to be in one place without traveling) before I leave for Ethiopia, so I will blog EVERYDAY! And so shall you (or as often as you can manage)...


The title of this blog is "JEALOUS jealous JEALOUS" because I am, well, JEALOUS! You are having lunch with my mom tomorrow, and that is just simple not fair, nor okay with me. ;)


I want to be in San Clemente right now having lunch with you and my mom! All I can do is wait and dream for the summer... I will be home in less than 2 months. HOW SCARY IS THAT?!?! I will be EATING my words when that time comes and will be so sad to leave this glorious city... country... continent...


But until then, I will make the most of this fabulous place... Enjoy lunch and my mom!


Love you and miss you!

Spice Up Ya Lifeeee

Tonight Theta had a Sushi and Karaoke sisterhood and this little sushi restaurant near the house! The theme was Spice World and I already told you that I was going to be Sporty Spice. Some girl came up to me and asked me if I was Scary Spice. I said "NO?!, I'm Sporty, why would you think that?" and she said, "because your wearing a jacket that says Ethiopia. I thought you were like trying to be black." hahahahahah. Anyways, I got up with my friend Bita and belted out "C'est La Vie" by Bwitched...classic! We both ate sooo much sushi that we thought we were going to puke because were bouncing up and down the whole time that we were singing.

When we left it was raining and literally within 10 minutes of being home I got completely congested and I just felt really sick, you must have given me something over skype! I need this invention because my nose won't stop running!!!!!

get better love! it was good talking to you today!
xoxo
d

indeed...

i totally agree that we have both been slacking on the blogging...i have been slacking a little bit in life as well! the thought of school just recently kicked in...just in time for midterms! joy.
i am soooo jealous that your parents and cameron are coming to visit you in PARIS!!! jealous x 1000!!! you better skype me while they are visiting...or at least leave me a facebook video!
i wish i had an interesting life story at the moment, but i dont, because the single life of Devon Luke is quite boring. i am hoping that by sending out my positive energy in the universe i might have better luck with boys, school, and life in general haha. i already told you that i have a potential bf in mind, its just a matter of him finding out that we are supposed to date. shit could get a little awkward haha. i did have the cup lotto today in throwing and i got some really cool cups! i will have to take pictures of them and post them. they turned out to be way more abstract (in terms of the glazes) then i expected. we are in the process of firing a set of bowls so i am reallllyyyy excited about those. our teacher just assigned us our next project and i am dreading it! we have to make 4 pouring vessels that mimic vessels from the 19th and early 20th century...they have to be 10 inches in some direction. i am not looking forward to it...definitely a challenge!

the weather has been soooo sunny and warm for the past two days...and i hope it stays because i am sick of the snow! im sure you feel the same way!

xoxo
