yes, i am a slacker.

So, I figured my blog needed some updating. I mean, let's be honest, it hasn't been updated in nearly three years. And apparently blogging is now the new trendy thing....{again}

Also, when I am quite bored in the library reading my quite outdated books....this is pretty much the most entertaining thing to do.

So let's see......a little update here.

I live in Chicago now. Yes, ridiculous, I know. The rest of my family happens to be living in North Africa. I am a grad student in Intercultural Studies and I love my life. I have two of the best roommates out there and I love where God has placed me. . .

In the depths of Chicago winters thing that make my heart happy are:

• stepping in fresh snow that has not yet been stepped in.
• wearing bright colors that completely contrast the dull gray sky
• going outside at the most ridiculous times when it is too cold to do anything and going for an adventure.

......to be continued.

In other news, the fedora that I wore today got several compliments AND I talked the phone company into giving me a phone for free. This as given me quite a new sense of confidence and accomplishment. And now, I am abandoning this blog and the library for a cup of Tetley tea, which is, in all senses of the word, superior.
