Fall break part 1

Break began Wednesday night, but I didn't actually go home until this morning..so here are little tidbits of my escapades thus far!

I had been meaning to steal some flowers from the bush that I pass on the way to class. But, I've never had the chance too, except for at ten o'clock at night when no one is on campus (except for the one boy who almost spotted me). --oh, and sorry, my phone has awful quality..

But I hung them to dry on my dresser, and I'm so very excited to see how they look when I come back (if the baby spider infestation hasn't gotten to them...eeep).

Then Timothy and I went to a new diner on Thursday (we're trying to try something new more often, so this is where we wound up!). And oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious! I had orange french toast with whipped creme, and then a slice of pumpkin-apple bread. Oh, we need to go back.

Then my momma has a little pumpkin collection on our kitchenette table.

I would write other personal things, but I don't feel comfortable including certain other people; but all you should know is that my heart was warmed today and I'm very glad I came home. x

Рас-кролик-ов!

I've been so busy with school lately, but tonight I caught a little bit of a break (even though I really need to do a Russian recording, oops). Anyway, today I wore my bunny sweater with my lacy shorts and tights (with a baby hole).

(I had a hard time taking photos today, especially of bunny poses..oh well).

I made my first little Russian pun today; hence the title of this entry!

Well, for those that know me, I love rabbits and I love Crime and Punishment. The main character of this wonderful novel (which you should pick up and read right this very minute) is named Raskolnikov. So I was practicing my Russian while I was getting dressed, and the word кроликов (pronounced krolikoff), rabbits, reminded me of my favorite fictional axe-murderer.

And so "Raskrolikov" popped into my head, and I giggled at it --an axe-wielding killer bunny --even though no one today seems to appreciate the pun nearly as much as I do. Sigh. Oh well..

And these are just flowers from the other week --Timothy and I tried to find a pizza place, and while we were walking I snapped this one quick. It's been so chilly here the last two days, I'm beginning to think summer is gone for good this year.

But at least I get to wear my new sweater! My friend, Emily, gave it to me during my trip to Pennsylvania, and it's the coziest thing I've ever worn! (And I'm starting to think I have a thing for pom-poms, because both sweaters in this post have them..). Then there's my Fossil bag, which has been taking quite a beating ever since I got it; and then the book I'm currently reading for class, The Brothers Karamzov. Yes, more Russian literature, and yes, Dostoevsky, of course.
