A long goodbye

This is my last semester at college.. then I am out in the big bad mean world. I am embracing all the elements of school, as much as I can anyway. Coffee shops, late nights, late mornings, dancing, running, drinking tooo much, laughing so hard it hurts, wine, tailgating, cheap apartments, arm wrestling at the bar, wearing the same outfit as yesterday..it's all good, Hah!

I can say goodbye to that..right?

Miles Away

Being far away can take its toll on someone. My guy and I..well..we are superheros you see. We have spent a whole year apart and we could not be more in love. We make each other better individuals. He is the love of my life, the sky is in him and I will get lost in it forever.

VANCOUVER SUNRISE:

This beautiful, vibrant city is going to be my future home. I can just feel it. An adventure for two!

Just not yet. Not yet.

My Far Side Gallery

I love far side!

Peacocks are the most beautiful birds. It was awesome
dressing up as one for Halloween. There is nothing like a Cowboy and Peacock to make for a romantic evening. :)
ahh let me tell you.

It amazes me how these male birds do so much to get the attention of the rather bland females. Very interesting. The flaunting of the bold colors, the show..Seems backwards with humans.

Cars

I have always tried to have patience with cars, but today I reached my max. It is a cool fall day with grey skies and a stirring wind. I love it. What do I NOT love?? getting ripped off.

I went to change my oil and it usually cost me $20. This time, they continously came back to my window to tell me that I had light problems with the front light, but they couldn't fix it. "You should really get that fixed" they said. Next, one of my brake lights is out..again, they can't fix it..but "You should really get that fixed."

Grand total being: 48$ the woman told me.. I stared blankly.."what?"

She fiddled with the computer and came back and told me "$38"

for an oil change. She said it was higher because of the extra oil she put in.

For some reason, today is not my day, projects, hw, tests, projects, more projects.. tensions running high, stress about driving my car to WV with lights out, an old registration, and feeling like people are out of reach.

Like I said, not my day.

Nerdy Day

Today in my art criticism course I sat in front of a black and white nature photo for an hour and 15 mintues. I looked at every grain and fiber that was shown in it, and then wrote pages and pages. First, only a description, then a detailed interpretation of the work. You know, I loved every second! As people were griping around me, I smiled to myself and thought, " yes, Adrienne, you are a art nerd indeed!"
