Taking the Place of the Sun

In the morning, my phone told me it was going to be a beautiful, warm day. And it was warm. But it was also cloudy. What a mistake. Good thing is: colored pants are my new obsession. I want to buy them in every color!

This is my new favorite picture. Thanks Kelsey!

Lately, I've been having a problem with the word "favorite". Everything is my favorite, according to the regularity with which I use the word. Rebecca makes fun of me, because I constantly refer to things as my "favorite this and favorite that". Well, I decided to make a list of things that are and will remain my favorite, probably for a very long time. So, even though I can't sing as well as Maria, here are a few of my favorite things:

1. Sushi

2. Toms

3. Sweatpants

4. Apple Pie

5. A good outfit photograph

6. Laughing so hard I can't stand up

7. Acing a test

8. The feeling after I worked out

9. Cookout Milkshakes

10. Rain on the Roof

Worn Out

I need Wendell. My new friends are already tired of taking my pictures. Yay awkward self portraits on my tiny college campus! Oh well. In the last few days, I've been feeling really tired and sad a lot of the time. I guess it's because this really doesn't feel like home to me. I still feel like I need to fit in. That doesn't mean that there haven't been a lot of fun things to do, like a midnight glow-in-the-dark capture the flag game last night, a a midnight mile-run, and today I only had one class, but it's been feeling a bit overwhelming. #whitegirlproblems.

Today we volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House. And as much as I dislike what McDonald's stands for (being a complete hypocrite of course, I love their fries and chicken nuggets), the Ronald McDonald House is one of the greatest things they do. They provide housing for the families of people with sick children in the hospital, and they do a great job. Th facilities are beautiful, and the food is great. I already want to go back.
