Quarterly Goals

Last winter quarter I learned to eat an entire meal with chop sticks, and spring quarter I attempted to learn to slackline. My goals for Autumn Quarter are:

1. Get less atrociously horrible at guitar
2. Get less atrociously horrible at slacklining
3. Learn to navigate through campus on a bicycle without running anyone over

I think they're doable.

The List of Things I Forgot

My Belt (It should be in the smaller roll-on suitcase)
Alarm Clock
Loose Leaf Paper
Printer Paper
Foam Pad for Bed
Blue T-Shirt (the one Chels said I could bring)
White + Black Camis (I'm pretty sure Chels had the white one on her body the day I left)
Purple Swimsuit Bottoms
VHS Tapes (I'd pulled a few out and set them on my bookcase)
Coloring Books (Harry Potter and Disney Princess - They should be in my two door cabinet with all of my old binders)
Gray Sweatshirt (The one I traded the green one with Chels for)
Barbie Magnets (not a big deal - they're laying on my bookshelf if you want to grab them)
Gold Sandals (not the ones with the big gem, the other ones)
Soap
Remote for little tv

Also, if you want to grab me a sleeping bag (to have just in case), a few white board markers from the hallway and a cassette tape player (I'm partial to the one in the garage), it'd be nice, but I don't actually need them. And if Chelsea cleared the cd's out of the dashboard in Alfred, I'll take them, but if she left them they should stay.

Thanks!

Possibly my proudest accomplishments ever.

For my McCarty Party this year!

I am here.

And the sun shines in my window in the morning.
I love it.

markus is packing

So I am blogging from his iPod touch. So neat.

Less neat is all the packing I need to do before I take off for seattle Wednesday morning. I don't think I'm even entirely UNpacked from spring quarter yet. Also I have a whole list of things to finish acquiring cheaply (I did the best bargain shopping at thrift stores last week. So much incredibly cheap stuff!).

Also, a nine year old at camp told an excellent yo mama joke the other day. I giggled. Hehe. Yo mama's so old, she went to high school with john mccain!

I've been clustering.

My most recent kick.

The best thrift store adventure EVER..

... would include stumbling upon these for $2.99 each at a local Goodwill (they actually live on the internet, unfortunately)

My mom pulled out her old sewing machine this afternoon, and taught me to use it! I'm super excited about all the possibilities. I wung it and ended up with a goofy skirt this afternoon (I'd picked up a yard of the fabric for a $1.49 at a thrift store last week).




I'm pretty pumped about sewing my first real piece of clothing. I even took a picture for my grandma.

Hydrocodene-Induced Neck Warmers

I'm still all drugged up (and hiccuping) from the removal of my wisdom teeth Wednesday morning, so tonight, these guys appeared while I ate pudding and watched the Olympics. I'm partial to the darker blue one. (I was inspired by these, although mine are just a double stitched crochet - no where near as fancy.)
