cold souls at spring time

Spring break has come and gone. i spend my 13 days in Houston and Austin relaxing and taking some time off for myself. I actually really enjoyed it, despite not going anywhere for vacation.

Antique shopping in Austin on the strand near UT.

Old door surrounded by colorful walls


Hey Cupcake! oh you know I couldn't pass this up.



take a gander of this deliciousness. vanilla on vanilla.


my mother loves antiques and she really knows how to find this little nooks.

This weekend I was in St. Louis visiting Washington University. They offered me a scholarship, but I'm still stuck on NYU. Thank God I got in, so many people are being rejected from schools they deserve to get into. This year, colleges have been so difficult. The Annika Rodriguez Scholarship committee was so ridiculously wonderful. They gave us so much free stuff and if i ever see another chocolate chip cookie again i'll probably vomit; they were at ever single event the put on for us...but there was never any milk!


The best part of the visit was when they took us on a tour of St. Louis (wash u is a little outside) and then suprised us with a free snack from Baily's Chocolate Bar. We were all starving and ordered everything on the menu. The food was phenomenal. Chocolate brownies, cake, bread pudding, blondies!

My essentials: hot coffee, good cheese, and fresh bread. The simple foods are always the best.

we had a midnight visitor

harvard model congress seems like it was ages ago, yet I think about it everyday.
The girls. For some reason, we were given a room about 10 times the size of a normal one; however they only gave us one bed. So adele and I suffered on the pull-out couch. it really wasn't a big deal except for it was freezing.

Okay, Rodney Miles is my hero. Seriously, the man is incredible

. It was snowing in boston! Caitlin went snow crazy. Here we are in Davis Square where we went to diesel cafe. it was warm and delicious.

I love how my head is pretty much the center of this picture considering i look like a mad possum in the headlights. Anyway, here is pretty much everyone on the trip huddled around getting ready for the dance. We went 80's style while everyone else wore their prom dress. I can remember talking to one of the republicans in my committe who came out and said, " I didn't even recognize you!" probably because I lost any of my moral sense and wasn't wearing my pant suit.

The Armed Services and Ethics Committee. Needless to say, we were brilliant. I could bore you with all the rest of the information, but this is pretty much all you need to know: RI and NE on the bottom right are some of the greatest and most intelligent girls i have ever met. John McCain made me laugh every day, MS and KS in the back were my most favorite boys ever. Franklin (hawt azn center) was our leader and king. Sarah on the right was phenomenal as well as Brad; both leaders, both stallions. Everyone else was just way too cool. Our guantanamo bill (though fake president bush shot it down with an illegitimate veto) still rocked and kicked more butt in the senate than any other. unanimous except for one? does that ever happen? I think i cried. No, i for sure cried when the house almost knocked it down. but thats why senate A decided to pass a bill to make our government unicameral. I also cried that one time Franklin woke me up at 1 am because the Indian Ambassador had a shit fit over some aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean.
As for the present, Friday night I saw the St.Agnes/Strake production of Merrily we Roll Along feturing my bestie Jessica and some other really attractive people.
Remember when Kellie was so ridiculously fierce as Gussy? I mean, i was in awe throughout the entire play. She was phenomenal.

mmThreesome. These guys were the mainz of the play and did an amazing job. the singing was INCREDIBLE, like beyond. Kudos on the fashion department for that lovely velveteen robe and sweater vest.

In the mean time, im ignoring my english test and virginia woolfe. pity, but sexy young john mccain can keep you company.

mmmm, nothings more attractive than a 72 year old former POW with a sexy grin and a incredibly strong stance on the war in iraq.
