someone give me some squash casserole and another semester of college...

Well....I leave ETBU for thanksgiving break tonight! I have been very excited....up until this point. Last night I started thinking about how this is the last time that I will leave ETBU for a break and come back. Next time I'm coming from my house to ETBU, I will not be a student...I'll be a graduate. I love college. It's frustrating to think that I can do nothing (basically) to stop graduation from coming. So...I just have to soak it in and have the best month ever i guess!

On the bright side: I'll be spending some quality time with Hailee and Caleb tomorrow on the lovely trip home
{last thanksgiving's trip home!}

 {I'm REALLY looking forward to this!}

 {I'm thrilled that there won't have to be a stand-in Glory!!!}

{And more so than seeing my family, I'm looking forward to seeing that basket of rolls!!! Ok ok ok, I'm joking everyone!}

Looking on the bright side and counting my blessings,
galilee

study? psh. no thanks.

I have a test tomorrow....and I don't care. I think it's time for me to graduate...before I fail out of college! Haha :) My test is in Radio Broadcasting. I don't have any interest to broadcast on the radio. This results in me not having any interest in studying for this test. Oh brother.

Speaking of my brother, I love my family!! I miss them and am oh-so-excited to see them saturday!!!!

I've worked on my tshirt quilt more!! All 20 of my shirts are cut into 15x15 inch squares and have backing on them! Up next...sew them together. You sew, Galilee? Well no....I never have.....but I'm about to do it! Haha. I'm a little nervous that I may have just ruined 20 tshirts for nothing! Oh well :) I have pictures to come, but I think I'm going to wait until my quilt is complete and then dedicate a whole blog post to it! I can't wait!!

Yesterday I had a little party with my favorite classmates (and Professor)! It was a great time of laughing and enjoying each other a little more before graduation. I'm so blessed to have loved college. Talking last night with my friend Karli, I almost teared up. I can't believe it's time to leave ETBU. Going to miss my friends so much!
{so thankful!}

cats, quilts, flowers and cords!

I haven't blogged in a long time so this is going to be all over the place! :)

First of all, I dressed up as a cat for Candyfest (ETBU's family friendly alternative to Halloween). I just wore a little black dress with ears and a tail...pretty much the lamest costume ever...but it's better than nothing, right? :)
{I had droopy ears. sad cat i guess. ha}

Second topic of interest: I started working on making a t-shirt quilt out of all of my ETBU tshirts (because I have so many, and would have probably ended up throwing them away!)!! I'm SO excited about doing this, and so thankful for my friend Sarah for helping me (She's an experienced tshirt quilt maker. haha)! I look forward to having a blanket full of memories :) 
{step 1: cut sleeves and back off of t-shirt}

{this is what most of my shirts look like now--kinda sad about it}

That's as far as I've gotten so far...but tomorrow I'm working on it again :) I honestly cannot wait until it's done!!!!! I can't decide what material to put on the back of my "quilt" though. Fleece? Regular material? I'm clueless! Any suggestions??

Third topic: A few nights ago me and Lyss (my roomie and college bestie) decided to pull out our craft supplies that we had laying around and make some things for our hair!

{LOVE glue guns...they do miracles!}

{our finished products!}
{black, red, pink, etbu spirit, and gold are mine! The whites and gold's are lyssa's!}

{note: we did this LATE at night. haha}

{when we realized we matched but opposite! :) }

Fourth and final point.....
{I GRADUATE COLLEGE IN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH!!!}
{this is the day I got my psi chi cords in the mail!}

Thank you, Taylor

I just got Taylor Swift's new cd "Speak Now"!!!! I know lots of people who are Taylor haters, but...I'm definitely not! Her new cd is wonderful! I love it so much! I only teared up a few times while listening to it for the first time :)

Her song "Never Grow Up" is my favorite right now! Ok maybe not. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite. Anyway, this song is ultra depressing, but for some reason I like to make myself depressed. haha. I don't really want to grow up! It's sad! I know if my sister Dixie listened to this song right now she'd for sure cry!



Ok, that's all! :)
