It's been a fun 24 hours. Last night I went to La Sierra to visit. My first stop was Calkins Hall to see Giselle. I kind of wish I had lived in Calkins Hall because it is a lot quieter and peaceful there. Then I went to Briggitte's house because she was going to cook for me! She made this really good chicken. Then we went to rent Kung Fu Hustle and No Vacancy and buy ingredients for the cake we were going to bake. I'm really glad I have a membership to the video place next to LSU because I get new releases for 99 cents and everything else for $1.99. Sweet! We got back to the house and baked devils food cake. I don't want to brag, but mine and Briggitte's cake was awesomely delicious! Andy came over with some Korean food, then we watched Kung Fu Hustle while pigging out. It was a very productive night.

Today Briggitte, Heidi, and I went to Tyler Mall. I miss that mall, but somehow it felt strange without Connie or Giselle there. I bought a necklace that I have been wanting for over a year, and it was only $4 (compared to $19) at Metropark, thanks to it going on sale and Briggitte's employee discount. I FINALLY got my face brushes! MAC only comes out with them twice a year, and I always miss it. But luckily I didn't this month. The case has a somewhat Juicy Couture feel to it. It's been long enough having to use random rough brushes that I had lying around the house. It was time for an upgrade.


$48 may seem a bit steep for make up brushes, but if you know anything about brushes, it's actually really cheap. If I were to buy all four of them separately, it would come out to be $124.50, excluding the bag.

We also signed up to watch a MAC fashion show in December for $15. With that $15 we get a makeup bag worth $75, our choice of a MAC product, and have our makeup done. That's about $130 worth of stuff for only $15. How awesome is that!

OK, I'm going to wrap up this entry because I'm sounding like a real girly girl, which I am not.

The highlight of my day was watching the Mercy Air helicopter take off from the heliport next to my unit. That's so sad. But for the next two weeks I don't have clinicals. Sweet! Don't get me wrong, I love clinicals and patient care. But waking up at 5 AM and all the paper work kill it for me.
This week is pretty relaxed. Nothing is due, and the Fundamentals test was easy and didn't require much studying. One more week until Thanksgiving break. I can't wait! And I just realized I also get Monday off because I don't have that specific class until the following week. It just sucks that I have stuff to do over break.

Happy 11/11 at 11:11!

This weekend was fun. Giselle and Ardrin had their 20th birthday party at James' house this weekend. Lori, Connie, and I went together. It was a lot of fun. There were a lot of SGA people there. It was like a mini reunion! A lot of stuff happened on Saturday that Connie and I found so entertaining. Ah, good times.

This past week I've been reconnecting with some friends. I've been talking to people on the phone for hours, just catching up and venting a little. It was really nice to reestablish that connection. I'm really trying not to disappear and get sucked into LLU. I'm really trying to work at my friendships and just calling to say "what's up." Friendship is really important, especially in those times in life where everything sucks, and you just need a shoulder to cry on.

To Connie: Please send me pictures from Saturday. =D
