s'more

there is much that has happened this semester. a few highlights through photos.

stomp @ the fox theater:

me and mary. that's my RA in the back.

relay for life:

i was on the green action team~green action's an environmental student group i'm involved with. we sold hot (but more like lukewarm/frozen the instant it came out of the thermos) chocolate.

me & kelsey.
that's me in there. gooooooo recycling! i took a lap around the track in that thing. someone high-fived me. or i just ran into their hand.

miscellaneous:

leaves on tree @ the missouri botanical gardens

suitemates.

i have recently discovered crossword puzzles & sudoku. but i cheat with crosswords~i look up the pop culture & wikipedia-able ones online. i've only completed 1 sudoku but it was awesome. i have yet to complete an entire crossword. perhaps that shall go on my before-i'm-21 list.

i have also recently discovered a wonderful color of nail polish. it's called "apple of my eye" and it's a sort of electric red. my current mani & pedi are this shade.

as it stands, my before-i'm-21 list lists the following:

travel to another country, visit nyc, eat at white castle, get a professional manicure and/or pedicure, learn to juggle, set off sparklers, visit a US state for the first time, get a slurpee @ 7-11 between the hours of midnight & 6 am.

i've accomplished one thing--eating @ white castle. me & mary & julie & pat went a little after midnight one night in february. we shared a 10-pack of "slyders," white castle's "burgers." boy, are they foul. they're offensive to meat products. they don't have the taste or texture of meat. there's something peculiarly spongy about them. anyhow, i did it.

today we had the university's earth day celebration (a week early). one student group made these amazing sandwiches using food from whole foods: nutty whole grain sliced bread, fresh tomato slices, fresh basil, mozzarella, and hummus. the hummus was an unexpected & delicious addition. i think i may try making it at home. i never knew that basil leaves could taste so pleasant. i may try planting a pot of it to put in the kitchen at home.

i think i am going to make cupcake-shaped brownies with julie and mary now.

with love.
