I love trying new places and ethnic food is always a huge win win in my book. When the food came Kayla told us to smell it I told her I couldn't or I might just straight face plant into it. It smelled SO GOOD!

It's so beautiful out!<br /><br />Liz and I had a picnic lunch at the park overlooking the ocean a block from my work. I brought a salad and pita bread and she brought sliced fruit, triscuits, and licorice. YUM! We both joked about how this would be a blog post...later today I'm biking home and have a soccer game tonight. YEEEEEE!

Ben refuses to eat fish and wouldn't try it. <br /><br />Instead, he busted out a large hunk of prosciutto, pickles, peppercinis and a toasted everything bagel with pepper jack cheese. After carefully chopping up the pickle he began to layer his meat on the bagel so that half the meat hung off the edge. He then laid the the pickles carefully inside while explaining that pickles always fall out. So he invented a meat satchel to keep it all inside. Safe and snug. He then wrapped up all the pickles in the prosciutto topped it off and wa-la! No pickles fell out...what a pro. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vtLC0lxqw9E/TiUK4tOO3oI/AAAAAAAAA9o/GlwIex1CIv0/s1600/Ben%2Beating.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vtLC0lxqw9E/TiUK4tOO3oI/AAAAAAAAA9o/GlwIex1CIv0/s400/Ben%2Beating.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630918878424915586" /></a>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-8342465399594433482011-03-01T18:18:00.003+01:002011-03-01T18:27:45.757+01:00Graffiti Art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dxcYtbA4Qvk/TW0sGkPwYWI/AAAAAAAAA80/GgNuWxCTcgI/s1600/Photo%2B125.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dxcYtbA4Qvk/TW0sGkPwYWI/AAAAAAAAA80/GgNuWxCTcgI/s400/Photo%2B125.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579164004702511458" /></a><br /><br />Recently Ben has gotten really into graffiti art, tagging, and creating spray paint stencils. He's so creative and talented and I love to see him working on projects again. So after he showed me a couple really awesome stencils he had created of friends he inspired me to break out my xacto blade and start creating as well. <br /><br />I completed a couple different cool stencils and am now searching for the next image I want to create. Ben gave me a hard time for using images off the internet so the next one will be 100 percent original. Ezra liked my stencil so much he wanted to do one too and I helped Megan start one last night.<br /><br />In that same line of thought <span style="font-style:italic;">Exit Through the Gift Shop</span> a documentary about street art featuring Ben's favorite graffiti artist Banksy was up for an Oscar the other night and although it didn't win I'm excited to see it. <br /><br />Bansky is a politically motivated graffiti artist who has become so acclaimed building owners who are fortunate enough to be tagged have gone to such extreme lengths as to saw out the brick wall that displays the art to sell it. The kicker though is that to this day no one knows who he is, where he lives, or what he looks like. Crazy.....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2TRCDgmVIRU/TW0scfL4zcI/AAAAAAAAA9M/RgLJpHIcupk/s1600/banksy-soldiers-painting-peace-sign.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 348px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2TRCDgmVIRU/TW0scfL4zcI/AAAAAAAAA9M/RgLJpHIcupk/s400/banksy-soldiers-painting-peace-sign.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579164381301231042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zs9Z5kkkGig/TW0scNOZq-I/AAAAAAAAA9E/ibE_NRf9zIo/s1600/Banksy-graffiti-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zs9Z5kkkGig/TW0scNOZq-I/AAAAAAAAA9E/ibE_NRf9zIo/s400/Banksy-graffiti-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579164376479935458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ge7X77rbse8/TW0scCX20-I/AAAAAAAAA88/-qIANPmUmvw/s1600/banksy-again.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ge7X77rbse8/TW0scCX20-I/AAAAAAAAA88/-qIANPmUmvw/s400/banksy-again.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579164373566804962" /></a>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-15959082880672825672011-01-20T19:21:00.000+01:002011-01-20T19:22:33.846+01:00Girona :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TTh9YaJvLLI/AAAAAAAAA8o/eZlWeXA5JhA/s1600/4081395820_a3be4c1e60_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TTh9YaJvLLI/AAAAAAAAA8o/eZlWeXA5JhA/s400/4081395820_a3be4c1e60_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564335197906742450" /></a><br />Almost a year ago...Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-14336453691163543452011-01-13T17:05:00.003+01:002011-01-13T17:14:55.288+01:00Lame Duck<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TS8k2UEQ3DI/AAAAAAAAA8g/ZhJQhcDqS-o/s1600/6a00d8341ca70953ef0120a64731cf970c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TS8k2UEQ3DI/AAAAAAAAA8g/ZhJQhcDqS-o/s400/6a00d8341ca70953ef0120a64731cf970c.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561704580343979058" /></a><br />I've been an uncharacteristically bad blogger as of late but please forgive me because even at home on winter break life is hectic. I woke up this morning a little nervous and anxious because my gallery show is tonight and I've never done anything like it before. I also have this fear that no one will be there and Cafe 976 will be like....<span style="font-style:italic;">So how'd we get stuck with this loser with no friends? </span> But loser or not they've got me and I feel confident in my work so I just try to keep reminding myself of that. <br /><br />As for life in general I'm at a weird cross road stage. I feel like I've made this whole second life for myself in Pennsylvania and now that it's almost over I feel a little like a lame duck. I know this seems a little debbie downer of me but I don't really see the point in trying to make new connections, friends, or start relationships because in four short months I have to give it all up and move 3,000 miles away back to San Diego.

It inspired me to head back to the studio and try some new designs and I'm thinking seriously about starting a line of stationary, greeting cards, or notebooks. <br /><br />I also stopped by a local art shop that caught my eye the other day and ended up meeting a woman running a local craft fair in November that I'm going to try and get a booth at. <br /><br />Here are two designs I'm playing around with currently:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMmAa-JkZiI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/GuUGaJPFan0/s1600/5118037979_1be670d2b4_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMmAa-JkZiI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/GuUGaJPFan0/s400/5118037979_1be670d2b4_z.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533094818049451554" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMmGiS4EWKI/AAAAAAAAA2g/Xh-XjMDbU30/s1600/5123449626_fc4ac45a22_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMmGiS4EWKI/AAAAAAAAA2g/Xh-XjMDbU30/s400/5123449626_fc4ac45a22_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533101540942043298" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMmAaxjDwcI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/OzNVjlUnwV0/s1600/5118625348_81e192000a_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMmAaxjDwcI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/OzNVjlUnwV0/s400/5118625348_81e192000a_z.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533094814666703298" /></a>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-19732052155426607662010-10-26T20:19:00.002+02:002010-10-28T13:21:50.634+02:00UPGRADE!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMlclkhi4gI/AAAAAAAAA2A/l_QNGFEsMNA/s1600/DSC_0022.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMlclkhi4gI/AAAAAAAAA2A/l_QNGFEsMNA/s400/DSC_0022.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533055417730654722" /></a><br />I knew this would be a good week!<br />I got my hair cut today, I’m playing hearts tonight, I’ve got a soccer game tomorrow and most importantly MY NEW NIKON CAMERA CAME IN TODAY!

It was about the cutest thing I'd ever seen, these guys, hunched over their pumpkins in complete concentration, knife in hand. And I have to say I was highly impressed with everyone's artistic ability. We have some talented artists on the soccer team!<br /><br />At the end of the night we all trouped out to the porch to proudly light up and display our pumpkins. It was a really wonderful evening and I was so happy we were all able to spend an awesome Friday night hanging out and enjoying each others company. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLe4loQnI/AAAAAAAAA0I/OH8RaC9SgJ8/s1600/72699_1420710205287_1458630069_30899657_3828740_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLe4loQnI/AAAAAAAAA0I/OH8RaC9SgJ8/s400/72699_1420710205287_1458630069_30899657_3828740_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531488498787828338" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLL1821nI/AAAAAAAAAzw/LvnkpE79zU4/s1600/66694_1420704005132_1458630069_30899620_2044700_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLL1821nI/AAAAAAAAAzw/LvnkpE79zU4/s400/66694_1420704005132_1458630069_30899620_2044700_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531488171662431858" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPQoYmkruI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/7MhGuL_XGVE/s1600/72734_1420704725150_1458630069_30899626_6682051_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPQoYmkruI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/7MhGuL_XGVE/s400/72734_1420704725150_1458630069_30899626_6682051_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531494159558684386" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLLTnUh9I/AAAAAAAAAzg/x_hXN-M9WjU/s1600/33903_1420712525345_1458630069_30899670_3440197_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLLTnUh9I/AAAAAAAAAzg/x_hXN-M9WjU/s400/33903_1420712525345_1458630069_30899670_3440197_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531488162445297618" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLeiS3nnI/AAAAAAAAA0A/yTlHbOleh4g/s1600/72538_1420722245588_1458630069_30899713_6054940_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TMPLeiS3nnI/AAAAAAAAA0A/yTlHbOleh4g/s400/72538_1420722245588_1458630069_30899713_6054940_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531488492803563122" /></a>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-75455380353229327032010-10-19T04:03:00.002+02:002010-10-21T01:32:13.393+02:00Wooly hats<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TL9795xdsuI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/RCTFguhak8E/s1600/5094247658_3de9e0df4b_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TL9795xdsuI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/RCTFguhak8E/s400/5094247658_3de9e0df4b_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530275170844783330" /></a><br /><br />I love fall break & wooly hats....Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-37166383269384895102010-10-17T23:38:00.004+02:002010-10-17T23:50:14.082+02:00Beautiful Sundays<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TLtuikgUtAI/AAAAAAAAAyU/VQDRSGlnbXM/s1600/5090515091_cf77a89a33_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TLtuikgUtAI/AAAAAAAAAyU/VQDRSGlnbXM/s400/5090515091_cf77a89a33_z.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529134507721274370" /></a><br /><br />Today was such a beautiful warm day. I felt like finally I was able to put all the stress and tension behind me and start fresh again. I cleaned my room from top to bottom, and tidied up the rest of the house, cleaned the beta bowls, and downloaded some new music and I just feel so content and relaxed now.<br /><br />Tyler and I decided to drive up to the lake to take advantage of the gorgeous day. We hiked around Raystown and all the leaves were beginning to change. The air is so clean and refreshing. All in all a wonderful day and the best part yet? I don't have school for the next two days!

I was in fifth grade. We were in the finals and the game was tied zero-zero. It went into a shootout. The winner got to move on and travel to Irvine to continue playing. My mom was so nervous she kept leaving the field to go to the bathroom thinking that would bring us good luck. We won the game and I went to my first ever away tournament. <br /><br />We stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel. They had four glass elevators facing each other and my teammates and I had elevator races and one of the funnest weekends my little fifth grade self remembers. We got annihilated in every game but it didn't matter at all. On the way home from that tournament I remember my dad turning to me and saying, "Caitlin, really enjoy this because you may never have another chance to do something like this. This was really a special experience that doesn't come along very often" <br /><br />The next year I switched from recreational soccer to Club. We won every game minus one in the season and came in first place. <br /><br />From there the sky was the limit. I spent every waking moment playing soccer. My family traveled to every game. We became very familiar with Bakersfield, Landcaster, San Bernadino, Las Vegas...between my brother and I my parents' social life revolved around soccer tournaments, team dinners, practices. <br /><br />There are certain games in particular that I will never forget..or more like moments. I'll always remember the final of the Celtic Cup. After three games that day and the final going into double overtime our keeper stopped three of the five PKs shots made on her. Which, is unheard of. We won the tournament and I was too exhausted to walk off the field. I skipped the first day of my senior year of high school because of that game. <br /><br />This weekend I had another one of those unforgettable moments. It wasn't a particularly insane game but it touched a heart string and really reinforced in myself all the reasons why I find soccer so wonderful. <br /><br />We played Moravian, a nasty dirty team that I just really generally despise. After coming out slow in the first ten minutes Katie Keating receives a pass up top and holds the ball at her feet. I knew she was going to look to find me. We have this mind connection that forwards sometimes develop with each other. The last person who knew me that well was on my club team in high school. It's an awesome feeling when you know how your teammate thinks and where you need to be without even a seconds thought. <br /><br />I started sprinting. <br /><br />She lays me a beautiful perfect ball, right where I knew she would. I cut the ball across my body and with two Moravian girls on my heels I tucked it away near post. The perfect goal. Juniata up 1-0.<br /><br />But, it was the rush that came with the goal that really made the moment unforgettable. I threw up arm up in the air and took off sprinting down the sideline screaming. The crowd, all 200+ of them jumped up and I can't describe the energy I felt from the moment. Katie ninja jump hugged me and even now writing it gives me goosebumps. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TKn_6qvKfCI/AAAAAAAAAyE/9Im-ERN3ZZ8/s1600/Bigelow+goal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TKn_6qvKfCI/AAAAAAAAAyE/9Im-ERN3ZZ8/s400/Bigelow+goal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524227801316228130" /></a>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-92130612630390865372010-09-23T14:58:00.005+02:002010-09-23T15:18:44.421+02:00Misty Mornings & the First Day of FallI woke up this morning and after being super productive and took my camera outside and shot a few pictures of the morning fog. It's a nice fall day. I'm really excited for neighbor dinner night tomorrow!<br /><br />We live on Onieda Street right across from the football field and we happen to be sandwiched in between soccer boys on the right and cross country girls on the left. So I decided we should do some sort of weekly dinner night. So after the huge success of our first dinner night we've made it into a Friday night tradition. One person, our chef for the week, organizes a menu and the ingredients and everyone treks to Weis and drops them off the night before. <br /><br />This week is neighbor dinner night bring a friend so we'll have quite a few people packed into our little bungalow home tomorrow night. And just to make you drool a little here is our menu:<br /><br />Artichoke Dip & Crackers<br />Salad<br />Asparagus Squash Side Dish<br />Corn Red Pepper Leek Soup<br />Panera Bread<br />& Carmel & Chocolate drizzled apples<br /><br />YUM!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TJtPKH-gj0I/AAAAAAAAAxk/7CJl2YIXcI4/s1600/5017011793_c70209f1d5_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TJtPKH-gj0I/AAAAAAAAAxk/7CJl2YIXcI4/s400/5017011793_c70209f1d5_z.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520092803631189826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TJtPG9fvXpI/AAAAAAAAAxc/mhrNdrNWogA/s1600/5017618940_70bccc5a67_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TJtPG9fvXpI/AAAAAAAAAxc/mhrNdrNWogA/s400/5017618940_70bccc5a67_z.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520092749278174866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TJtPDswSJUI/AAAAAAAAAxU/CJ5jLg70dNo/s1600/5017590518_ab3475b031_z.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mREDY43ihsA/TJtPDswSJUI/AAAAAAAAAxU/CJ5jLg70dNo/s400/5017590518_ab3475b031_z.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520092693244552514" /></a>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-21961059871178220982010-09-13T13:14:00.002+02:002010-09-13T13:20:19.541+02:00RamblingsI haven't blogged in a really long time and so I'm throwing together this little blog before class starts. <br /><br />I'm super happy with my Senior year thus far. My insane schedule that had me in tears before the summer even ended and suffering panic attacks in the bathroom is actually much less insane that I ever could have hoped for. I love my job, I love my internship, my classes are fine, and soccer is going great. <br /><br />Of all things to look forward to I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving (already!) because I'm just so excited to see my OLP friends. Walky and I are still hoping to convince Shmo to come out for it. I'm excited to show off our little house :) I also can't wait for my parents to come at Senior week! My mom isn't even going to recognize the place!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390337952353666483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510345712254666086.post-42325658247490661112010-08-31T03:51:00.000+02:002010-08-31T03:52:07.584+02:00My Last First DayThis blog is a testament to the fact that even veterans, yes I consider myself a veteran at school, can make mistakes.<br /><br />Rewind.<br /><br />Today was my first day of school. I had class starting at 9am. I picked out my outfit, straightened my hair, packed up my things, and filled my coffee cup.<br /><br />Financial Accounting went smoothly. I’ve managed to lock down a text book and know the homework assignment. (I even started it tonight)<br /><br />Fast forward.<br /><br />I’m walking through the hall and see Professor Donaldson teaching a class. He is my advisor and professor for New Venture Creation. I walk past the doorway, realize it’s him and back up to wave hi. I was surprised and a little hurt that he didn’t wave back and instead gave me a look like…who are you?<br /><br />Fast Forward 7 hours later. I’m looking through my schedule for the next day and I realized that I mixed up the times of my two classes. I waved at him in the class I was SUPPOSE TO BE IN!
