Week 5: Stop-Motion Obsession

Hello! I know we're already into week six, but week seven is going to be the first week of regular blogs. Once a week. I can do this. (Lord knows the day supplies me with enough photos for TWELVE blogs a DAY.)

Phew!!! Here goes.

October 3:
Travis finally figured out the superhero mask after Nikhil spent a good two hours teaching him at IHOP.


October 3:
Then Travis, Nikhil, Dad, and I went to an apple and pumpkin farm.
Here's me looking at my crazy little brother through a loop in the breed-denoting tree ribbon.

October 5:
I discovered water macrophotography
(super up-close photos of things distorted and flipped through water droplets)
through my Stumble button and decided to try it!

October 9:
Steph and I had our first official roommate bonding night!
This is one of our refined and glamorous "roommate photos" (obviously).
Thanks for tuning in this week! Coming soon: Week six. (I bet you could have figured that one out.)

School in September (Weeks 1-4)

OK, I'm going to start being good and post on here. I have trouble finding the motivation sometimes, but I think that's because I over-think what I should say, or what would be funny, or what a good title would be, or how to properly word it so I'm not being boring, or what topic to even talk on...

Then I remembered that the original purpose of starting a blog was to document my college experience. But that still doesn't solve the motivation problem, so how could I trick myself into doing what I initially wanted? Being my responsible self, I set a goal: A blog a week, with photos from each day.

So for this entry, I'm just going to post a few things from each week so far, and from now on I will post every week!!!
With photos!!!!!!
Or at least I'll try!!!

WEEK ONE: 9/5 - 9/11


September 6:
Sierra (next-door neighbor) straightening Will's mane

September 11:
When you have extra Stryrofoam,
why let that go to waste???
This is my door decoration for Will's room.

September 12:
Sunset through the Scotts' courtyard

WEEK TWO: 9/12 - 9/18


September 13:
Will tries on Ashley's (down the hall) sexy Santa dress.
He needed to fill it out a little more on top, so they used our cups.
Well, I guess I'll be drinking straight from the bubbler from now forward...

September 14:
Jam session next door with Cassie (left) and Sierra.
