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!!!




loveeee,

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

My High Is Now Low...

Yesterday was a stupid day. It was not good... my extreme happy-life-high crashed and burned... 


On top of it, i went to sleep at 11pm woke up at 1 am and couldnt sleep until 4 am... It was EFFING miserable. I hate feeling like this.... 


I hate knowing that when i am so happy, that it will soon enough be over... so lame... 


anyway... i dont want to be a downer, so i will end here... 


sorry about your tests, that sucks.. i have a 3 page paper to write for tomorrow... and i do NOT want to do it. 


love you,

most stressful day ever!

so today i had a MAJAAAA (with a british accent) reality check...i am in college and second semester has officially started!

i know its a little late to be realizing this, but what can ya do.

i had an oceanography test (which we dont even learn about the ocean...i know weird right?!?!) and i had an art history test...which i discovered last night was 35% of my grade!!!! so basically like a final. i was wayyyy more stressed about my art history test because it is my major but having 2 tests today really stressed me out!

for my art history i was sooo annoyed bc my teacher wouldnt give us a study guide and he just said that he was going to give us "broad" topics to write 5 essays! wtf!?!?!

i think that i blacked out during the test because i came out of it and couldnt tell you a thing that i wrote...it was like an hour and 15 min didnt even happen

annnnyyywayyyssss...i hope all is well in parisssss!! endulge! have a crepe and think of me :)

nothing in my life is exciting right now...so i am sorry that my posts are not very interesting! 

beeee teeee dubbbbss... LOOOOVEEE the doc martin ankle boots!!!! i reallly want them!

Girlllll Franddddd

SOOOO... you ARE coming to PARIS... i will be writing this on EVERY post i make until you get here... FOR SPRING BREAK... (ticket for about $600-700, FREE housing, and hello im on a student budget for food and stuff... sooo it would be like $30-40 a day at MOST... you could get by for way less if you really try...)... NOT BAD AT ALL! you can sooo do it... what about selling a painting... 

why dont you sell what you make in class?!?! i think it would be such a cute idea ... if you made 4 BIG tea cups for me i would SOO buy them for my apartment... if its possible, you should soo do that... I'm sure you could find people to buy them... even like fam and stuff... SOOO do it... and its no cost to you right? you get to use the school's supplies right?! helllllo!!!!!! (even if you choose to do this... please still make me at LEAST 1 GIANT tea cup... thanks..., but if you do want to sell them and make like a funky set of 4 i will buy them.. thanks)... 

soooo... i love the idea of a Tea-Pot Luck... its sooo cute... pick GOOOD ones! :) 

I am super excited for your Rep Yo City party... that will be amazing... :) i wish i could come!!! and i think you should rep the OC.. that would be soo cute! that is very exciting that you get to plan everything... how fun! 

RAFAEL VERGA  is hot... but is he not gay?! he SCREAMS gay... (and the pics on the blog wont come up, i had to google him)... 

Nothing here is exciting right now (except for FREAKING EVERYTHING :))... i am having a fantabulous weekend... loving it... we have skyped, so you know the deal-e-o... but still exciting! 

we will have to skype again today... when i get home... hopefully i will have GOOD news.. but i have to tell you what happened this afternoon... hilarious... hahahha... oh lord, i need to learn french ASAP! 

loveeeee, 

c

P.s.... soorrry i have been such a blog failure lately ... i have been on all my blogs... 

cup lotto

sooo i dont remember if i told you...but we are doing a "cup lotto" in my throwing class. basically...everyone made 8 cups (just basic form)...then everyone puts their cups out and each person goes around and takes 1 cup from each pile (so 8 new cups)...then we "trim" all of the bases of the cups and add handles. THEN we take those 8 cups and pick out 8 new new cups and make saucers for them! confusing i know! but at the very end we get to have a cup lotto! i will probably take 1 or 2 for myself and send the rest to my mom.  i will definitely take pictures of the cups that i get! my mom has given me a TALLLL order of what she wants..."I want bowls...BIG BOWLS...for vegetables and salad"...i dont think she can stop thinking about them haha. but i want to make you and your mom something! so let me know...vase/cups/bowls?
i cant wait til we stroll down the Champs Elysees together!!!

Rep Yo City

i think i told you...but i am planning my first fraternity mixer as the new social chair. there havent been tooo many stressful moments, but im sure that they will hit me in the face sooner or later. the theme is "Rep Yo City" and i think that everyone will really get into it haha. i dont know if i really wanna rep O.C. shizzz so i might just rep NYC haha. we are doing the event with Phi Kappa Psi. i just looked at my calender and i have a test the next morning at 9:30. great.

i am trying to brainstorm ways that i can make money fast...dont worry, ive already ruled out prostitution. maybe i will make scarves and sell them?! i dunno. give me ideas so that we can party in Paris!!!

EEFFF DAT!

FUCKKKKKK HAVESU ... OMG you ARE coming to Paris... no if-ands-or buts about it... and JOAN is in! and encourages it! which is the BIGGEST plus of all... and you can come heavily drink and get crazy in PARIS anyway!!! a;skdjf;lkasdjfl;kajsf 

OMGGGG you HAVE to come! 

WTF Devon... you already broke your resolution?!? With freaking who... you need to SLOWWWWW the EFFFFF down... like pronto.. i LOVE YOU, but this is getting a bit out of hand... seriously... 

------------------ 

SO... Today i had an AMAZING lunch with a lady that is going to work with my dad! She is in Paris for a few days... and she is the freaking COOLEST person... we had the most amazing conversation for like 3 hours... she is like an adult version of me... but way different at the same time... its crazy... It was sooo fun though! 

"Someone" might be coming to visit me.. this person is in Berlin right now... but i dont know if it is a good idea to see this person... 

SKYPE asap so we dont have to have code convos on here! hahahah 

LOVEEE you... 

lovee, 

c

the summary of my life right now...

end of story.

but good things will come. eventually.

xoxo

what if...

i love you no matter what...and even if you consider your story telling "bitching and moan", i quite enjoy it! haha.

i totally understand what you are saying. but i really think that those feelings are good! it shows you where your heart really is AND it gives you good perspective! but, at the same time, dont be close minded about meeting new people too...i mean your mom and bob would have made a cute couple ahah but thank god your mom met your dad! i know its not the same thing, but its kinda similar haha. maybe not. whatever.

like i say all the time...i really wish that i could be in paris exploring the continent that i SHOULD have been born in...OH! hah i was talking to my mom about spring break, because all of my friends in theta are going to lake havesu with SWAT and they wanted me to go so i was discussing this with joan. she was not too thrilled about the idea (surprise surprise) because she thinks that there is a whole new "level" of people who go on those trips...which is true... the website looks like a casting call for the next "girls gone wild". and she loved pointing out that the trip would only consist of heavy drinking. duh its college spring break! anyways...i took that as a NO...and she suggested that i think bigger about what i would want to do for spring break...which led to her suggestion of visiting you in paris! obviously i dont even know if it would be a possibility but it would be freaking amazing! (my spring break is like the 19th-28th)

i definitely neeeed to skype with you bc i have a great/not so great story to tell you. lets just say my new years resolution only lasted a month...

FAIL!

xoxo

Happy and Homesick...

Umm the fact that she will listen to me bitch and moan about dumb shizzzz and still love me anyway :) ... well get ready cause I am about to start bitching and moaning (and not in a good way ;(..)

I am very happy. I LOVE it here... I have AMAZING friends here. I should NOT be complaining about anything, but I can not help but think about what and WHOM I am missing back at school... it's frustrating and stupid.... I am really NOT homesick...not even slightly, I am just jealous that I am missing out on things and lonely and frustrated with my man-life... (I can't stop thinking about him and its driving me crazy...)... I don't know what to do... I just need to realize that I am retarded and the things that I am missing aren't even that important compared to how amazing this experience it... and the biggest thing is I would MUCH rather be here in Paris right now, than back at SMU.... ajsd;flkja;lskdjf!!!! I'm sooo conflicted ... I am HAPPPY but a little "homesick"...

On a happier note, I am glad you are good... lazy weekends are the best, CHERISH them! Please find a date for Valentines day.. do NOTTT put negativity into the universe... including cyber-space... you WILL find someone... as long as you try hard enough... give someone you wouldn't normally consider a chance.. you might be pleasantly surprised... 

My weekend was interesting... Brussels was amazing... super fun and beautiful and interesting... I didn't really know what i was expecting... but it definitely wasn't it... 

I am EXHAUSTED.... its been 4 days and 3 nights of constant On-The-Go stuff... I am soo happy to be homeee.... I was going to go to Poland this weekend... but we decided to take the weekend off and just relax... since we haven't spent a weekend in Paris since we've been here! 

but i love you, skype soon? yes please... 

loveee, 

c

P.S.... no more countries were added to my list (if you know what i mean)...
