Overloadddddd

I literally have 13 papers to write and 2 presentations within the next two weeks. My brain is already dead...
Looking back, taking 4 classes probably wasn't my best idea.

In other news.... It's Draft Day!! The Redskins will finally get a legitimate QB!

Go Redskins!

AND! The CAPS won in OT of game 7!!! It's finally looking up D.C.!

Go Caps!!!

Explore!

While I wish I could say I have already booked my flight to Tanzania... I can't. Boyfriend Matt wants to wait a year and I don't want to go without him. Soooo if I wait this year and it doesn't happen I am sooo not going to be happy about it. This year was supposed to be Kilimanjaro and next year is Machu Picchu.

One day I want to be able to cross off every state!

Countries I have been to... severely lacking

Countries I haven't been to yet but are on my bucket list

If you don't pull a Nike and 'Just Do It' these trips aren't going to happen. So I'm still trying to figure it out. My brother really wants to go and I know he is down for going whenever... so there are options. :)

Update

The morning after I flushed my debit card I find out there was a breach with one of the retailers who had my credit card information and someone in NY tried to spend $510 at a CVS with my credit card. My credit card was canceled and I wasn't charged for any of their purchases which is great... buuuttttt as you know I am also without a debit card and I recently used my last check for my brother's bday so I am currently without access to money. Not cool.

What I want to know is - what the heck does someone buy at a CVS for $510??

Just Flushed It All Away...

Well apparently I achieved a first last night....
I had my credit card out because I had to pay for parking and decided it would be smart to put it in my pocket. Later on in the night I finally decided it was time to break the seal... I did my business, flush and then realize I am dumb to leave my card in my pocket. I pull it out and my butterfingers just flung it right into the flushing toilet... it was never to be seen again. I called boyfriend Matt from the bathroom and said 'get in here now' he had no idea what was going on so hurried in. He even tried to get it out (ewwww) but it was a goner. I got home and called Wells Fargo and according to the guy who hears 'hundreds of stories a day' this was a first.

...I feel so special

It's getting to be that time...

It's that.... End of the semester/End of Graduate Assistantship/Finals/Research Projects Due/Professors still piling on other assignments (read this entire book for next class)/Nice weather that you don't have time to enjoy/Work projects are due before you leave/Realizing you never really saved any of the money you earned from the GA/Never sleeping again  time of the year!

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided staying in school another two years was a great idea. It's not. When all of your friends have jobs that actually pay real money and they don't have to live at home (not that home's not great mom!) staying in school and worrying about homework and finals is the last thing you want to be doing.

Last night, instead of watching the Caps play the Bruins I was talking about hockey in class.... while interesting, I would much rather enjoy the game live instead of getting score updates from boyfriend Matt.

If you haven't noticed, I'm feeling a little stressed out at the moment.

New Blog

Like so many other people I have decided that I am interesting enough to start a blog. In reality I have a pretty normal life... but I still want to blog. Read if you like... if not.... sorry not sorry.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all have an awesome day! :)

And Lent is over!!! Finally!

I'm baking these truffle filled red velvet cupcakes now! Hopefully it's tasty! 

Travel Bug

After I graduated last year my boyfriend and I went backpacking in Europe (shattadventures.blogspot.com). We visited cities in England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium and The Netherlands and ever since then I have been planning trip after trip. I will need to win the lottery (Life Plan A) in order to actually go on all of these trips but a girl can dream.

Next up: Machu Picchu or Kilimanjaro
Both require me to get my booty in shape and spend a lot of money. BUTTT it would be absolutely amazing.

Peru

Tanzania
