I’m sure everyone is jealous; isn’t the art building where everyone wants to spend their Friday nights?? Surely I’m not the only one. I do know that i AM the only one in my apartment who’s not going home this weekend. So i get a nice four-man Fairlane apartment to myself. But if you’re worried about me being lonely, don’t worry. Cuz i’m here in the art building. :-) But yes. My senior show opens three weeks from today. I’ve…

These past two weeks have seemed like 3 years for me. Many Florida residents still remain without power, but I think most are getting it back soon. Electrical workers have been working around the clock (yay for electricians!), and many other states have sent their…

This is my second hurricane experience. My first one was Hurricane Hugo, which hit our town of Waxhaw, North Carolina when I was 6….
My mom informed me that I used 2843 minutes of our night and weekend minutes last month. Wow, whoever thought that in a month one could be on the phone for 2843 minutes. Hooray for cell phones. :-) Paul and I changed the date for our wedding. No, the main reason was not weather, but that was part of it. The concern about weather was what started us reconsidering the February date, and after a while we realized that we…
