it's autumn time

i caught my first glimpse of autumn the other day.

it was extremely hot outside, but the way the light was on that afternoon
told me that autumn would soon be here.
i know you know what i'm talking about!

i love autumn time.


autumn brings

new school year (more on that soon)
fall colors
crisp, cool air
new fall line in my wardrobe (more on that soon)

autumn is by far my favorite time of year!

my dear dear friends,

 i can't keep this secret to myself.

fashion place mall.

fall 2011.


be excited. i'm seriously counting down the days (not like i'm counting down to hp though)


fashion place is also getting crate & barrel this fall. i could probably spend hours gushing over all their treasures.

can't wait.

come fall, i am going to be one retail-happy camper

holy moly!

So.  I have been putting off going to see an academic advisor at the university of choice for a long time (about 3 years) because I was so scared that they would tell me I'm not smart/good enough for school.  I know, so stupid of me to think that.  But I did!  And I was really scared to go!


BUT.

Today I faced my fear. 

I drove myself down to school.  Wandered around for a good hour or so killing time and psyching myself up to going to talk to the advisor.


I went and signed in and waited about 15 more minutes to talk to this lady.


Then I went in, she told me a few simple things I needed to do before I could register for classes. 

She then asked me what my major was.




Come to find out I am 1 year away from having my BFA in Fine Art.  ONE YEAR!!!?!

One year.

I didn't think I was SO close to the end of the school tunnel!   SUCH an exciting feeling.

I left her office just beaming and ran home to reapply so I could register!


Then I looked at all the classes I have to look forward to taking in the next 4 semesters.


I do have a few general classes left, Math, English, and Astronomy.


But then I get to do fun classes!


Photography
Painting
Figure Drawing
Ceramics
Baroque History
Sculpture
and other such classes!


I am so excited, I can't even believe how close I am.  Holy Moly!!!


ALSO Harry Potter is in ONE week!  Today is such a great day!


:)

PS once I figure out how to use my scanner I will be putting some of my artwork on here to celebrate!   Happy Schooling!

Harry Potter!!!

this blog tends to consist of many count downs. I'm so sorry.  But after realizing that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I comes out in only 51 days I just had to blog about it.

Who else is a Harry Potter fanatic like I am?  I've started to read the 7th book again in preparation.  I think I will also host a HP party prior to the midnight showing of this film. 

And watch all the HP movies--one a day leading up to the premier.  Oh my word. I can't wait!!

I also found these pictures:  Enjoy.

Aaaaah!  Excitement overload.



See, they like each other in real life.



Me. Dressed as Harry Potter.  I know, it's hard to get Daniel R and I confused.  We look so much alike.

November, why can't you come sooner?

If you asked me which month is my favorite, I will tell you October.  Every time.  But reasons why I love October is for another post.

Right now, November is sounding extremely delightful.

Think about it

Crisp Autumn air
Thanksgiving weekend and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Harry Potter 7 Part I is coming out!
Disney's Tangled is also coming out
Sweaters
Boots
Skinny Jeans
Scarves
Pea Coats.

Seriously people

Fall is the best ever.

November, don't take too long!  K Thanks, Bye.
