Sweet Little Photo Swap- My last first day of school, EVER!

Well it's my senior year in college. Graduation is so close, I can taste it! I just thought I would document my last first day of school. :-D 

Here it is folks, The University of Central Oklahoma. (The backside of campus). I arrived here 30 minutes early just in case I can't find my class. Yes, I'm a senior and I still show up early in case I get lost.

This is where I work. The UCentral Newsroom. Pretty huh? All of those beautiful Macs make my heart swell. :) 

This edition of the paper was 32 pages (4times our normal size). It's pretty much the reason why I'm sick and stressed. But man seeing this monster was the highlight of my day.

We have 5,000 copies to give to the students. 

Well if you don't know this already, it's HOT here! Hotter than Satan's farts! So I started the day looking all cute and stuff and by the end of it I was sweating like a hooker in church. Top is the morning, and bottom is the afternoon. 

Oh, and I went to class too. But I will spare the details of that fun stuff. 

Yea, I'm "that" person at the store.

School starts tomorrow. I'm already a complete neurotic nut-job, but adding school to mix makes me even nuttier. 

I waited until the last minute to get some school supplies. This is for two reasons: 1) I'm lazy, and (2) I've been in denial about school actually starting. 


Well here it is, the day before school starts, and I can no longer live in denial. Last week was so stressful at work, that somehow I got myself sick. Fun stuff. 


Anyways... back to how I'm a nut-job. I'm so particular about the most random things. (Things like Dr. Pepper, my seat, or how my towels are folded).








I'm very particular about "my notebook" which is my list, notes, to-do, homework, whatever notebook. I buy one of these hard-to-find notebooks once a semester. I absolutely revolve around this one notebook. So you can understand why I'm so particular, right? Needless to say, I had some guidelines I have for this book. 
-It has to be a spiral. 
-It has to fit in my purse, but not be pocket sized. 
-It has to have at least 2 subjects. 
-It must include a "pocket" for sheets of paper, folded sheets of paper. 
-It can't have any type of planner-like characteristics, I hate planners. Why you ask? Because they tell me what to do. Lol... 
Bonus: 
-Would be nice if it were free of pictures of Justin Bieber on the cover. 
-It would also be nice if it were cheap, but hey, I will pay for greatness. 






So... this is why I'm "that" person at the store. On my quest to find the perfect "Note-book", I'm in my own world. I will stand in an isle for long periods of time with no concern for others. To top it all off, I'm sick, so I'm coughing and sneezing and people are fleeing away from me. 


Now that I've confirmed my craziness, I should tell you that I found my perfect "note-book". Job. Well. Done.

Awards, Awards! Here are the Winners...

It's my first month of blogging. It has been great! But, you can totally tell I am a noob. :)

I was so blessed by http://laci512.wordpress.com. She chose me and 6 other people for the "Versatile Blogger" award. I know right?! I've been battling the paparazzi all month now. :P

Thank you so much (laci512). I am so happy that you found my blog interesting. 

Here's the rules of receiving this award:

1) Thank the person who gave you the award and link them back in your post.

2) Share 7 things about yourself. 

3) Pass this award on to 7 recently discovered and deserving blogs. 

Here goes, 7 things about myself:

1) I am HORRIBLY UNORGANIZED! I love to be productive, but my un-organization hinders that fact. 

2) I'm a drinker. Not a partier, a drinker. I just like a good strong drink. Hints: Thirsty Thursday! :P

3) We live with my brother-in-law and two kids until we can afford to do otherwise. Oh yea, we live in a  2br duplex. That's 3 adults, 2 children, and 2 dogs. Here's a pic of my youngest niece.

The blogs I chose are ones that I feel truly deserve this award. They were entertaining, fun, and recently discovered. The funny thing is that most of these blogs are more discovered than my own.

Sunday Funday-Sweet Little Photo Swap #2

This weekend, my wonderful hubby shot some pics of me for my blog stuff. These are pretty much the only pics taken this week, and I wanted to share. Jacob, my husband, does great work at making me look like a better version of myself! Tell me what you think! And watch for new design stuff using these pics.

I love the vintage white on this pic. It makes the necklace look totally rad. 

This is just one of many cameras that are around our home. 

I LOVE THE GRUNGE. 

I like this one because of my sortof mohawk 

And I like this one because of the nasty little lake. Oklahoma's lakes are red and muddy. 

Enjoy!

Sincerely, 
Kylee
