a little bit of this, a little bit of that

The past few weeks have been ones for the books, which means that this next week needs to be one in the books. In case any of you were wondering, Senioritis is real. It is interesting balancing classes, law school applications, thesis, and work when it’s starting to be that good fall weather and I just want to hang out with friends from morning until night. So much of this semester has been beautiful so far; here are some highlights in no particular order.

Labor Day was an incredible blessing even though the long weekend was filled with rain from the tropical storm in the Gulf. You know what else was filled with rain? The Brick House kitchen cabinets...

Dave Barnes was in Starkville the other Tuesday night, which meant I was in Starkville the other Tuesday night. Left Oxford at 5:30, got back at 2, had a Spanish test the next morning at 10. Slightly chaotic and sleep-depriving, but Dave Barnes was amazing live. All of this reaffirms my growing conviction that live music, while almost never convenient, is almost always worth it.

I have already caved and skipped my first class. The weather was so perfect and Anna and I got to have Grove time and it was totally a good decision even though it was only the third week of school and most people try to hold out a little longer than that...whatever. Carpe diem.

Various conversations (most of them late-night, of course) throughout the past weeks have made me realize more and more fully that the group of friends that I have been blessed with are going to change the world, and that is awesome.

College is the greatest.
