Today in a Nutshell

HAPPY

ONE CLASS

LEOPARD PRINT

NAP TIME

(Such a blessing after such an exhausting week!)

RAIN STORM

DANCE REHEARSAL

(China, here I come!)

NEW TAP SHOES

(I can hardly contain my excitement!)

LEMON CUSTARD

(My FAVE!)

NO SHOWER

RED LIPSTICK

(The quickest cure for a sweat-washed dancer on the run!)

GREEN SHOW PERFORMANCE

MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

(Not mine, but tears were definitely shed!

Congrats to Katelin!)

CHOCOLATE CAKE

SAD

MASSIVE CALORIC CONSUMPTION

(See "lemon custard" and "chocolate cake.")

TRIPPED UP THE STAIRS

(Concrete steps, actually... Skinned my knee,

bruised my arm, whacked my chin, and

bloodied my toe! I am so talented.)

DOWNSTAIRS NEIGHBORS

(Make me feel really cruel/guilty for

tap dancing on our 1970s kitchen tile.)

In a nutshell, life is pretty smashing right now!

And I survived the first week of school.

And look at this fantastic picture:

HAPPY TAPPING, EVERYONE!

Home Sweet Homegirls

FUN FACT: SCHOOL HAS STARTED.

Just in case you weren't aware.

And don't watch the news.

Like a dance major.

So, I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that this

will be my third year of college. Where does the time go?

I still feel like I'm 13. Maybe it's because I have a crush

on every boy in the whole world right now. FORRIL.

I just need to take a minute to brag about my

amazing, beautiful, talented, hilarious,

sometimes disgusting and repulsive,

but also LOVELY roommates!

I hit the jackpot of roomies this year, my friends.

We're all dancing fools who wear booty shorts and sweats

more often than the average person with standards and morals, shower

way too infrequently for disclosure, and get creative with mangos in

nearly everything we cook. I can honesty say these girls inspire

me each and every day to be better than I am. Avocado face

masks, smoothies in martini glasses, nail parties, and 

more--the estrogen in this place is toxic!

In a good way.

Like the smell of gasoline.

(Here's the part where I admit that I sometimes drip

gasoline on my foot on purpose because I love the smell.)

And the dishes in our sink never pile up because we've

worked out a system where one of us scrubs, another dries,

and a third person spoons ice cream into our mouths.

Now, that's what I call teamwork!

Signs of Fall

1. School starts in a week.

{I'm dying here. I nnnnneed a routine.} 

2. Walmart is selling mellowcreme pumpkins again.

{Kind of like candy corn except 6,000 times better. I'm addicted.}

I'm really excited about both these things. That's all I have to say.

P.S. Ever been ice-blocking? Why didn't anybody
warn me that it was so dangerous?!
