Easter brunch

almost a week ago! i'm catching up on the coverage of my events :)

michelle did most of the cooking, and we had a lovely turnout for brunch, egg dying, and an easter egg hunt! it was deemed a success by all.

He is risen!

help me not spend my $$, please.

someone needs to stop me right now! i should never have set up one-click purchasing on amazon.com. yesterday when bernie sanders was on the jon stewart show, i just popped on over to amazon and bought the book he was promoting (when am i even going to read it? or maybe it'll just make me look smarter sitting on the bookcase or in the bathroom??). tonight, the neuro coloring book i purchased earlier this week on amazon told me i could use colored felt tip pens instead of colored pencils, so i popped on over to amazon and one click purchased twenty dollars worth of paper mate flair pens. in my defense, all the studying and writing has made my right hand hurt. apparently i push really hard when i write and am now getting writing utensil calluses. the pens will alleviate that, because you don't have to use as much pressure with pens, compared to colored pencils. plus you don't have to sharpen them. i can reason my way out of anything, just try me.

i'm at a bit of a crossroads at this instant. do i stay awake and study for 2.5 more hours and then watch the royal wedding? or go to sleep because for real, who actually cares? i will probably end up going to sleep because i'm a crazy monster when i don't stick to my normal sleep schedule (which isn't really normal except to me, but what is normal, really?).

ok, nighty night :)

i plan to run a 1/2 marathon

hi friends! i have to tell you something very scary. i'm 95% sure that i'm aiming to run my first 1/2 marathon over labor day weekend. i'm telling you this because if i put it out here in internet land i'll be held accountable, and you can mock me if i fail! deal? deal.

here is a conglomeration of photos from last week when michelle and i did a little touristing on the mall and then met up with andrew for drinks (pb&j 4eva!) after. it was so fun! we made a pact never to take a segway tour ever.

alright, back to the big bang theory. now that's funny television.

tornado watch

hey team! ellie and i are reporting from the tail end of a tornado watch for dc. i'm fairly certain that we won't see tornadoes in our region, but if we do then we are quite prepared since we come from hurricane alley, the heart of 'merica (i'm not super proud to claim missouri today, because of this atrocity. i'm not ready to talk about it yet).

happier news is that i filled out a 5 minute survey on diversity at my school and obtained a $15 itunes gift card as a thank you! love it. but what to purchase? i need your feedback! i don't want to waste my free money. should i get the new florence + the machine album? fleet foxes? death cab for cutie? netters neuroscience flashcards for my ipod? feel free to voice your opinion!

also i just did my obligatory etsy search for cute craft items applicable to my current module. apparently the crafting community greatly enjoys brains. my search yielded many cute results!

(arteries of brain look sort of like a monster)

brain slugs

brain skull cap! ingenious!

soap

anyway, that's all. i'm going to learn things now to try to distract myself from abused puppies and possible tornadic events.

much love,

kate and the princess

ps this is what i did to my toe before the Easter brunch (which is a tale for another post) (my toe bled more and felt way worse than the picture shows) (but we all know that i can be a bit of a whiner)

heyyyy

hi there friends!! i'm not really sure where to start, as i've been absent again for quite some time. you deserve to know that the reason i often go into hibernation is because after exams i get quite preoccupied with worry and dread about my performance on said exams! and so then i can't bear to make blog posts or be natural. but finally, grades are back!! i scored a big fat "p" in my head, neck and special senses class. horray! now i can bulldoze forward with neuroscience (there's nothing i'd rather do . . .).

anyway, i have tons to update on you, but i guess i'll start with not last weekend but the one before. below you see the disaster that my apartment was after the exam was over (i think they call it the exam week tornado?). you also see a group of people doing the ms walk in dc! it was great fun, even though it was rainy and reallllly windy. i'm glad we could get out to support adam and his family! finally, after the ms walk we were able to celebrate a Seder meal at daniel, adam, andy, anna, and abby's apartment which was prepared by daniel's mother who was in town! it was a wonderful cultural experience and i hope to go to more! then we all went out dancing in adams morgan. and ate some wonderful falafel and fries at amsterdam, and then retired for the evening. the weekend before last was a lovely, fun time indeed.

 

thanks for listening, and i'm so sorry it's been so long . . . i'll make it up to you!!!

xoxo,

just an interesting little tidbit as tax season comes to a close (last week)
