Fall 2020

 Half way through the fall semester.  That sounds absoloutely crazy. I personally feel like the semester just began yesterday. Most people tend to thing that due to the circumstances of this year, that it is creeping along at a snails pace and has been the longest year ever. However, I feel as if this has been the quickest year of my life. I feel as though yesterday it was the first of the year and we had no idea what was about to hit us.  This fall semester has been pretty average compared to past semesters but that does not mean it has not been fun or carried with it some great memories. Things have sure been different this year, but thankful my friends and I have made the most of it all.  We have been able to take things slow and enjoy this time of year in a different way than ever before. We have enjoyed lots of walks, outdoor study dates and picnics.  Of course my favorite aspect of the semester is welcoming home my new bestfriend Luka. In any other "normal...

  (Stressed Cat from Pixaby) Hitting the first set of midterms this semester was super stressful but we have now made it. Hopefully this coming week will be one that is a little more laid back and easy.

This time of year I think it is super exciting to be starting to feel like fall and get into the mood. I love the fall leaves that begin to cover the ground and being able to drink hot coffee at all times of the day. In terms of this class, I am enjoying getting to be doing my storybook and growing it. I think that it is going to be really unique and I cannot wait to find more stories that go along with my theme of beauty to add to my collection. I also cannot do a famous last words without talking about my Luka girl. I am excited at the end of this year to go back at the end of the semester and see how much she has changed. In the past two weeks, she has grown ...

This would definitely fall into the category of outside of class; however, it is very exciting to me so I thought it would be fun to write about. For a long time now I have been casually looking to get a dog and slowly working to convince my parents t o let me. Luckily for me a little over a week ago an opportunity to get a golden doodle puppy fell into my lap and I jumped at it. So now I am that annoying obsessed dog mom that I told myself I would never become. My sweet pup Luka is 8 weeks old with lots of energy but is already so well behaved. One of her favorite things to do is go on walks, ride in the car or play with her favorite rabbit toy. I hope to have her trained well enough that she will go on walks and run with me without having to use a leash. So far she does this pretty well but I think it may just be because she’s so little she’s scared to run too far from me. Between me, my two roommates and my parents she sure is a spoiled puppy and she knows it. I have a good feeling ...
