Fall Break... What a splendiferous time!

I've been meaning to post about fall break for a week now, but I hit the ground running with I got back to campus on Sunday.  So, here I am now to fill everyone in on the fantastic fall break I had.

 For starters, my sister Brit was in town for all of break, which allowed me to regain some of my sanity which I have lost a lot of since being away at school.  She arrived on Tuesday, went to one of my classes on Wednesday, and off to grandmother's house we were! Thursday involved a trip to Raleigh to see some giant gummy bears.  Yes, see.  Not devour, or even taste, but see.  Pretty disappointing to drive 45 minutes away to see a giant gummy bear, but it was still fun.  There were half pound gummy bears too... on a stick!

Later Thursday night Brit and I carved pumpkins for my grandma.  They turned out pretty spectacular, though, grandma couldn't tell what mine was... It was an owl, she thought it was a cat.  Anyway, carving pumpkins was an absolute blast because I wasn't expecting them to come out nearly as good as they did!  Not to mention the guts may be gross but they sure are fun too!  See for yourself!

Friday was rather laid back.  Brit and I had the day to ourselves because the grandparents both had to work.  We spent the day crafting it up, but not before having some delicious Steak n' Shake.  Brit had been craving some for awhile since there are none in California.  She started painting an "S" for my dorm room while I finished this masterpiece...

The "S" went home to California with Brit so she could finish painting it and the crayon art is busy filling up the rest of my wall space.

Ok, now for the really fun stuff.  Saturday! Saturday we went to Wilmington!!! It was soooo much fun!  We got up at like 7 a.m. and headed out out at 8 since it was a three hour drive.  I am kinda an awesome driver though and made it in two and a half hours.  At noon we went on a tour of EUE / Screen Gems Studios where One Tree Hill (no pictures because it's illegal to take them on the tour) is filmed and where Iron Man 3 is going to be filmed here in a few months. The best part of the tour was listing to the two crazed fans who were freaking out about being in Brooke's bedroom and Tric.  At one point when we were walking off of the set of Haley and Nathan's house said, and I quote, "Oh my God! I can't believe I'm walking out Haley and Nathan's front door!!" FREAKING HILARIOUS!!! I was holding back laughter like you wouldn't believe! Anyway, after that we headed to Wrightsville and chilled on the beach for about two hours and began the journey home.  We got home around  8 and got up the next morning at 4 to head to the airport.

 I want to live there!!!

 Homework on the beach.

Break pretty much ended there and Sunday evening the madness ensued.  Papers galore!  Now all I want is another beautiful day in Wilmington... by myself.  I could use a day to myself at this point!

Dinner time. Bye.

Campus is Crawling!

Well, after getting away for the weekend at my grandparents house a couple of hours away I'm back at school.  The week is in full bloom the bugs and people are in a tizzy.  Seriously, the bugs are everywhere.  I though fall was when they were supposed to go away but apparently they didn't get the memo... Wasps in my fifth floor dorm room. That's all I need to say.

Anyway, classes will end as quickly as they began come  Wednesday when fall break starts! I can't wait! No papers due for four straight days! No homework to put off until the last possible second! And no classes to nod off during! With all of this excitement it's hard to imagine there could be more to look forward to, huh? Nope, wrong.  My sister gets here tomorrow morning and we are hanging out for all of break.  Not only that but we are also venturing our way to Wilmington, North Carolina on Saturday! I'm so stoked I can't even explain! We are going to go to the beach (even though it probably won't be warm enough to get in the water), we're going to take the One Tree Hill set tour, which we are both stoked out of our minds for, and we're going to walk through all of the fun shops on Carolina beach as well as in downtown Wilmington! Basically, we are going to have an absolute amazing day with nobody but ourselves to please.  It's going to be fantastic.

Woah! I got so excited I forgot what I was writing about!

Alas, I have to wait for this beloved sibling/Wilmington time for a few more days.  I also have to get through writing a research paper that I haven't started and hopefully passing a quiz that I haven't started studying for. (I haven't even read the material one time through yet!)  Well, this post took a weird turn... when I first started writing it, it was going to be about all the old fold and young kids wondering around campus.  That ship sailed.  Though as I wrote those two sentences about ten old people (we're talkin' ancient, folks) walked by and when I started writing this post there were what seemed fifteen kids running around the Huckleberry with ice cream.  Basically, there are people everywhere, and worse than that, there are bees and wasps and ladybugs and flies EVERYWHERE!!! Including in my room as I mentioned earlier... BOOOOO! GO AWAY BUGS! I mean I know you're impotant to the ecosystem and some other crap like that, but seriously, YOU BUGGIN' ME! (pun intended!)

Ok this post is doomed and I've been sitting here contemplating a strawberry banana smoothie for the past  hour so I think I'm gonna cave and go get one!

PS: Two old guys just walked out onto the patio! D: THERE EVERYWERE!

K I'm done for real. Baiiii!
