I'm in...Alaska?!...




Well kind of. actually i'm in Onalaska, Wisconsin :) Not quite as exotic but hey it's different! All of the nature is kind of gloomy and hibernating still...the trees don't think that's its spring yet, unlike the ones in San Antone.
I woke up way early at 4:30am, but I was surprisingly awake & excited. Our first plane left S.A. around 7am and we reached Chicago's O'Hare around 9:30am. I had a 3 hours layover in "warm 39 degrees" Chicago but that was alright since I just spent the time chatting with other students -indoors. Then we took an hour flight from Chicago to La Crosse, WI. So yay! I've arrived & tomorrow I get to present and then just hang out!

In other news, I am pretty happy with life, once I figured out that nobody really has control, I stopped freaking out about my lack of it in my life right now...just enjoying living every minute!! 3 WEEKS 'till Graduation!!!
I hope everyone (out there...nobody actually reads this but I can pretend) had a great Easter! Here is a quick pic of my new shirt I was happy to wear that day... toodles!

Skynachos!!

So a few things... skynachos = owls (thanks to Stephen Colbert haha)
& this was my picture of my latest obsessions from February! Way back when now lol but i still had to remember it:



A few Saturdays back, my mom and i visited Orange Cup on one of our outings (in between perusing La Cantera/ Scrapbook 911 and talking about a million little things). This place is awesome! It's a frozen yogurt shop with tons of extras (like my aciaberry with strawberries!) Then, Tbird, Regina, Greg & I went there the next weekend, so I could share the joy... possibly addicting! Love it!




On a side note: life is unpredictable! I guess that's what makes it exciting. I found out today that I may have a lot in common with someone but there ARE differences that exist between us for better or for worse. I just hope that one day I will be completely happy in my own family bliss! I hope to be as happy as elizabeth kartchner looks in her shots... but that's all in a life far far away...

I'm at the beginning of April & sooo close to graduation but yet soo far...this month has just snowballed on me with all the work...but i can't say i didn't see it coming! Anywho, I'm pretty excited that in about 2 weeks I will be visiting Wisconsin for the first time for my first research conference!! yay! (fingers crossed for snow?)
