Sound Off!

244/365

So it's Welcome Weekend right now.

And this is the weekend before classes start where the first years get a chance to get to know campus and go do activities where they get to know other first years.

It's also a big competition weekend for each of the residence halls.

One of the main events is called Sound Off. This is where the RHC writes a song about their residence hall to the tune of popular (or not so much) songs. Then the first years and any other residents who want to participate go down to Foss Field and shouts sings their song for everyone to hear. The RHA then votes to see who wins.

I participated my first year and then after that not so much.

But I did this year.

It was fun. Though it would have been more fun if I had been standing by my friends.

I got a cool Commuter Student shirt!



This was before I got my face painted.

Pinterest

243/365

So I am now officially addicted to Pinterest.

I'm not kidding. It's more fun than StumbleUpon. And I love me some StumbleUpon.

It's just a fun way to find pictures and ideas and things that make you happy and put them on "boards" for you to view at any time.

Today I added a new board which I called "Icons"

It's full of women who I find beautiful and inspire me to find my own style and feel beautiful in my own way.



I haven't had much time to add more but this is just the beginning. I'm super excited to find more.

I totally recommend you find a friend to invite you to play on Pinterest.

You'll love it.

My Picture Wall

242/365

So all last year I had my picture wall. It's set up in front of my desk so when I'm sitting there (which is most of the time) working on stuff I can just look up and see all of my friends looking out at me and smiling. It's such a great feeling. There are pictures from my sophomore and freshman year of college, as well as a few from high school. I also have some pictures that I've pulled out of magazines and some quotes that I found that made me happy.

This summer I ordered about fifty more pictures from this last year alone. And I got them in the mail the other day. Today, I put them all up and expanded my picture wall.



These pictures on my wall are the faces of the friends that I will have for the rest of my life. And I love that. I love seeing them so happy and I love seeing me so happy. In every single one of these pictures on my wall I am happy. And I love that.

It's a good feeling seeing yourself be so happy. Also seeing your friends so happy. That's the best feeling of all.

I will be sad when I have to take these pictures down at the end of this next year, but maybe when I move into my new apartment I can put them up again. I'll have to decide if I want them up like I do now, or pick a select few for frames and put the rest in photo albums.

I don't know yet. I won't know until I get there.

Until then I will enjoy having them up on my wall.

In other news I got to see my friend Ben today! He moved into his new house today so I got to run over and see him. Rachel, Megan and our friend Anna came too! It was nice seeing him and getting to talk to him in person again. He's my college little brother. He picks on me alot. :P

Now I'm watching The Orphanage with Rachel.

I'm glad that I'm surrounded by people I love.

It helps me remember that I am worth it. That I am loved. And that I can love myself.

Easy Breezy Beautiful

Cover Girl.

This is the brand of make-up that I use. Most of my daily make-up is made by Cover Girl.



The liquid foundation is the new Nature Luxe stuff. I've never really liked liquid before. I tried it once and it didn't really work for me. So for years I used Bare Minerals powder. But for Sweeney I needed liquid and I picked this up on a whim. It's really nice and light and it totally works for me.

The powder is just the general powder. No biggie. It really helps to smooth out my complexion so I use it over my liquid.

The blush I don't use every day. I've had this particular compact of blush for quite sometime. I have a fairly ruddy complexion so I don't really need the addition of pink to my cheeks. So when I do use it, it pops even more.

Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara. If I had to pick one make-up item to wear for the rest of my life it would be this. My eyelashes are really light so when I wear mascara it really helps my eyes to pop. It's so perfect for my lashes.

The Cover Girl Lip Perfection lipstick is a new addition. I don't actually use it often but I have several shades. It stays on fairly well but if you do have to reapply, it isn't too thick.

So that's my usual dose of make-up.

In other news, I was back at Hinderlie helping them finish up before move-in day tomorrow!

So I was standing on a chair painting the outlines of the kids from Narnia's faces and all of a sudden I realized that I was falling. I have no idea how it happened but I'm pretty sure that I tried to shift myself in mid air. I got tangled up in the chair I was standing on, banged my leg and foot and got brown paint all over myself and the carpet.

It was kinda epic but as the night went on, I insisted on continuing to help. I monitored myself to make sure that I hadn't hit my head but I hadn't. I did tweak my neck and back though. I noticed that as the night went on. My foot hurts too.

Hopefully after I shower and sleep I'll feel better. And I'm not going to do anything tomorrow either so if I still hurt I can take care of myself. I am going to help with Sound Off rehearsal though! It's going to be so fun!
