so to all you buddies that have kept hassling me to update my blog, here you go. Junior year has been hectic. I'm taking four studios and an art history class, and the projects are driving me insane. The time it takes to complete a project can sometimes get crazy, but it's all worth it in the end.

Other than school, i've been keeping myself busy hanging out with my awesome roommates Jamie, Sarah, Deb, and Michelle as well as our next-door neighbors Fred, James, Peter and Calvin. We always seem to know how to keep each other busy and distracted from our schoolwork =P, by doing awesome things like.... having a photoshoot, organizing snowball wars, cook-offs, and lots of movie-watching.

Here's a few pics from our photoshoot:

sarah and i love each other so much =P

rob-b and i went to a coldplay concert a few weeks back in Ohio. Rilo Kiley, a band we have been listening to a lot recently, was going to open for'em, so we both thought it was worth the money and the drive to go see both of'm. We were making good time driving until the very last mile before getting to the concert cause of traffic, and we were stuck on the road for almost an hour. when we got to the arena, people were still walking around so we thought we were still on time... only i looked at my phone to check the time and came to realize that ..... we were an hour and a half late.... cause we totally forgot about the freakin' time zone difference. RAWR! we totally missed rilo kiley, but coldplay still put on a freakin' great show. they really know how to appeal to our senses =P. i stood on rob-b's feet during the whole concert to gain a little leverage so i could see chris martin *Swoon* better... although we missed rilo, which was a huge bummer.. we still had an ow-some time driving together and seeing a kick-arse show.


the countdown for the show... look at chris' perfect sillouhette *sigh*





Mr. Rob-b Mach also was dahlin' and got me tickets to WICKED--a show that i have been wanting to see for a REALLY long time now. I've read the book and i know all the words to the whole soundtrack, and all i wanted to do was see the broadway show... Rob-b surprised me one weekend after he got back from going home... totally unexpectedly =). So Friday, we made our way to Chicago, where we went and shopped along Michigan Ave. Rob-b got a bad-arse jacket and i got a few dilly-dallies for myself at H&M. We spent the rest of the afternoon window shopping and poppin' in and out of stores, having the time of our lives. For dinner, Rob-b brought me to this cajun restaurant called "heaven on seven" and we had a monchin' time =). Afterwards, we took a stroll down to The Oriental Theatre where we watched WICKED...you shoulda seen our faces while we watched the show. The cast was amazing--their voices were crystal clear, the dancing was extravagant, and the script was HILARIOUS. the show in general was so clever and rob-b and i just ate it all up. we couldn't stop giggling during it.... what a day =) here are some pics!


the jacket keeps my body warm.. and rob-b keeps my heart warm =) haha ...


rob-b looking like a bad-arse... after he bought me the most fudgey brownie i've ever had for the Hershey Store.





i must admit.. even though my loyalties go to NYC.... chicago is beautiful

The Oriental Theatre is probably one of the most elaborate and breath-taking theatres i have ever seen







the curtain that came down which covered the whole stage




=)

"Thanks for the awesome day, rob-b! you make me so happy!"
