For whatever reason, the dining hall was serving these tiny cupcakes for dessert, and they spiked my interest, so I grabbed some, and then I instantly regret it once I took a bite. The frosting tasted like cotton candy toothpaste or something and the cupcake part was green, and I'm not entirely sure what it was made out of. Needless to say, I did not eat them.

When I took this picture it was not intended to be my POD, but I didn't take any other picture today. So when I went to print off my pamphlets today, I ran out of black ink, and the ink cartridge I had did not fit my printer, so I took this picture to remind myself to order new ink online and also so I could remember the type I needed to buy.

So I pulled pretty much an all-nighter tonight working on my project that's due tomorrow. I had the research and the annotated bibliography down, but I still had my pamphlet left to create, so that's what I did tonight and it took sooooo long because I had so much I wanted to say! Here is the finished project, and I think it looks pretty great despite my sleep deprivation!

I didn't take a picture of anything today, but I went out to breakfast with Mom and Kelley, and then Kelley left to go back to Champaign. I spent the rest of the night both doing homework and avoiding doing homework. But I'm officially through with four books for my research project. Here is my complete pile versus my still-need-to-read pile! Yay for progress!

I turned in my paper today and gave my presentation meaning that I'm officially on spring break!! I spent the night working on my application for the creative writing track, and I only took a break to get some ice cream with Maritza. Since Iowa City is no longer the arctic, we can walk around outside with ice cream and not look like weirdos, so that's what this is a picture of! The ice cream was delicious!

So tomorrow is my group presentation for The Wire, so I got together with my group tonight to make final touches on our presentation. Around midnight, the guy in charge of making the Power Point sent us the Power Point, so here is a screen shot of the first page. One less thing standing in my way of spring break!!

So today was suuuuper busy, and pretty much I was busy from 9:30 this morning until 8:20 tonight, so as soon as I got back from class, I put on some comfy clothes and went to the ITC to be productive. I told Maritza I would not come back to the room until my paper was written. I took this picture while I was writing my paper, and I didn't get back to my room until about 2 in the morning. It was a great night, bleh. But my paper is somewhat written! All I need to do is revise now!

So if you remember from earlier, I had an interview a few Saturdays ago. Today I found out whether or not I got the "job". (It's a "job" because it's not really a job. It's a position to be an On Iowa! leader for next year). And I made it!! I was completely shocked because I think at least half of the people who interviewed did not get the position! I'm so pumped! Pretty much I will help freshmen move in and then lead a small group of freshmen around the week before school starts to help them get a feel of the school! Eee! This made my day!

So I have an essay due on Thursday that I haven't started yet. The reasons why I haven't started yet is 1) because I haven't had time and 2) because I've been very uninspired about what to write about. I hoped going to the library would help me come up with ideas, and it did! The group study rooms have white boards and markers, so I decided to just brainstorm, and it was actually very productive! So I officially came up with an outline for my paper by writing on the white board. It was a great feeling. Now I have to actually write my paper.

So the seminar that I had a practice essay reading and pizza eating party for happened today! I had to read my essay at 2ish I think, and I got an official name tag and everything! Also, my old German teacher was there, so that was cool. When the reading was over, we went and listened to the keynote speaker, and then I went and had dinner at my professor's house which was delicious. It was a really long day, but I didn't take any pictures, so here is my awesome name tag!

Maritza and I went to go see Frozen tonight in the IMU! We originally planned to go at 8, but it was sold out!!!!! So we had to go at 11! I was going to take a picture of the movie, but the previews were a bunch of music videos, and when I'll Make a Man out of You came on, the whole theater cheered, so I took a picture of this instead because it made my life. I would just like to remind you that we are all college students cheering for cartoons.

For one of my classes I need to watch the first season of the t.v. show The Wire. We're doing group presentations with it, and I'm the last group to go, so we have to present over episodes 11-13 which means I have to watch the episodes in advance so I can plan for my presentation. I started watching a few days ago, and I'm already on episode 7. I'm telling myself that it's not procrastination because it's for school...right? Right!

Happy March 1st! I know I say this at the beginning of every month, but I can't believe it's March already!!!!
Anyway, Maritza and I decided to go out to dinner tonight, so we went to this bar/restaurant place that she's been to before, and we had a delicious dinner! It was seriously the best food. She watched the Hawks game on t.v. while we ate, so we were there for about two hours. As you can see from this picture, I finished all my food before she even made a dent in hers.
