Too School for Cool

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from these wild party animals.

Another week gone by.

Wednesday:  Smallpools, Mowglis, and Walk the Moon concert!  And guess who caught the free t-shirt and got it signed??  Yep, this girl.  And even though we were smashed up against random strangers the whole night, it was definitely worth it for the third row.

Friday:  As a fundraiser for the lacrosse team, last weekend we hosted a children's haunted house/bake sale.  Emma and I helped on Friday, the first day it was open.  We had fun setting up everything and getting all ready, getting dressed up, and getting ready to scare.  6:00 came and went....6:30 came and went....7:00 came and wait for it. . .  we had our first customer of the evening!...who happened to be the captain's 20-year-old roommate.  8:00 came and went and ooooh at 8:30 we had our second customer and the only child who came that night.  Let's just say, the first night of the weekend was more of an advertisement day, and turns out the rest of the weekend turned out to be pretty successful!  We had some good laughs and bonding moments sitting there in that scary house with no one to scare.

Saturday:  Another night under the lights.  We played Cal and won and I was in the second row and got on the big screen several times :) (That was my main goal for football season haha.)  Confirmed by many people telling me later that they saw me on the screen.  Success.

Monday, Tuesday, Today?  Studying, homework, studying, homework, sleep a little, then more homework.  Sometimes after a long day and your brain is fried, you just need to stop, update your blog, watch Modern Family, and go to bed before 1:00 or 2:00 am.  And that is just what I intend to do tonight :)  So everyone, at 10:36 I am very proud to say....GOODNIGHT!

Emma, Vicki, and Me getting ready for our night full of thrills and chills!

Captured in my favorite cheer.  "GOOO!  HUSKIES!"

Wow... {19}.

This one goes out to my fellow queen of awkward and struggle buddy, to the one who can name any movie quote possible, the one who can make a boring story sound thrilling, the one who I can talk to entirely in inside jokes, the one who laughs when no one else does, the one who has stuck by my side ever since the glory years of junior high, the soon-to-be missionary, the beautiful lover of life, the one, the only, RUBY MATESEN!  Thanks for everything, Ru…you're such a good friend.  Happy birthday!

Happy Fall, everyone.

Please notice the beauty of this amazing city I live in.  I am so lucky.

Ayy, Pacha!

This one's to my favorite neighbor.  I have a lot of neighbors to choose from, so you should feel pretty lucky, haha :)  I can't believe it's only been two months...I feel like I've known you for so much longer! Anyways... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMMA!

ESPN came.

Last weekend ESPN came to our school for College Gameday!  At 1:00 am the lineup started.  At 3:00 am they served breakfast.  At 4:00 am they let people into "The Pit."  {At 5:00 am I went to bed.}  At 6:00 am the broadcast started.  {At 8:40 I arrived.}  At 9:00 the football game line up started (we were first in line).  At 11:00 the gates opened.  At 1:00 the game started.  And let me tell you, an entire football game on only three hours of sleep is quite the experience.  And it was so worth it! ...even if we did lose.
