so much going on...

ok, so yes, it has been awhile since i have posted. this is going to be brief. i went to nyc with my momma to the architectural digest home show (unreal) then i went to paris to visit my friend emily who was doing a study abroad there (more pics to follow of both trips). now i am sitting in my room at my new apartment in rexburg and i'm feeling satisfied since my room is almost completely unpacked (yay!).

however i am about to keel over at any moment, did i mention that there was a volcano in iceland? well yes, there was. a big one. in fact it was so big that all air travel stopped in europe. thats right, nothing flying in, nothing flying out. after much stress, tears, and even a little fun we miraculously made it on a flight out tuesday to atlanta (big, traumatic, and slightly hilarious story in and of itself...but for another time). spent the night (more like 2 hours) in a hotel in atlanta (but SO happy to be in the U.S. of A.), got on a plane to slc early in the a.m. packed up my stuff for school and headed up at 2 p.m. did i mention that i did not sleep a wink on any of my flights, and had only slept those two hours in the hotel in the past 36 hours. but for some reason i was wide awake. not tired at all. till 10 p.m. last night, then i died and it has been downhill ever since. classes were interesting considering i missed the first two days and had NO CLUE what the professors were talking about (even though i had prepared and printed and read through the syllabus' beforehand...what's the point of a syllabus if it doesn't explain your class anyway?) and now here i sit.

now to the point of this post. i was just going through some of the projects for this semester and i could not be more excited. slightly overwhelmed but excited nonetheless. i feel like this is where its about to really take off. and its gonna be AWESOME. not to mention my non-interior design classes (which is only two) seem like they are going to be unreal too! english...which as you can tell i could use ha ha. but i really do love english and my teacher seems really good. the other class is a religion class...world religions to be exact and it is also going to be unreal. i am so pumped! and now back to the point again ha ha. as i was coming to these realizations about this semester it is time i get down to business and start posting my design projects. i'm gonna have to catch up and put some on from last semester but i think it is time. i'm committing myself to this despite how busy i am. i want lots of feedback, positive and constructive criticism. get excited. its gonna be fun!

oh and one last thing. i just read through this and that english class is definitely necessary. get ready nic to be editing lots of papers (my sister nicole is the english guru). and also...i just realized i am a complete nerd and LOVE GOING TO SCHOOL. maybe i'll be taking that back in a few weeks, but regardless i really do love learning!

a photo just for kicks.

oh and i'll be posting pics of my adorable new bedding my mom got me too...she made the cutest pillows to go with...LOVE IT!! and love my creative mother who is incredible!! thats all for tonight i have got to hit the sack!
