10 Day You Challenge

You know me...always up for a challenge.
Plus I love to have excuses to blog! Tonight (we're pretending it's still Monday) is 10 secrets.

Shhhhhh...

1. I used to be terrified of flying on a plane, but now I love it. I actually enjoy hanging out in airports...weird?

2. I love having my hair done. I hate to get it cut, but I do it anyway because I love having other people wash it and brush it.

3. I always have my toenails painted. Always.

4. I don't like sleeping with any doors or drawers opened. Close 'em up.

5. I've never seen The Christmas Story. According to SB I am a sheltered child...but it's true!

6. I am dying to get away from Blacksburg. I absolutely love it here, but I'm secretly jealous of everyone who gets to "go away" to college. When I graduate I hope to explore a little bit.

7. I cry at movies all of the time...both big girl movies and animated ones. I am such a baby!

8. Flocks of birds creep me out and if they fly over head of me...NOT okay.

9. I learned to drive on a manual car and I am so sad that we had to trade that baby in. There is some powerful feeling in driving a stick and I miss it.

10. If I approach an odd number of stairs, I must start and end on my left foot. If it's even, I start with my right and end with my left. Do. Not. Ask. Why. I'm just strange!


That's all folks :) Join in if you'd like! I've seen this on a couple of other blogs. I would love to read your responses!! Tomorrow is loves :)

Giveaway Opportunity

Hey y'all!

Camylla is hosting her first giveaway!

Go check it out and follow her to be able to enter! Wouldn't you look cute toting that wristlet around campus? Definitely.

Ends at 12 pm! Gooo!!

Back to School :)

Today is the first day of my junior year!

VT campus

Proud to be a Hokie

Can't wait for footbawwwllll!!

Although I sometimes wish I could be in a different town than where I grew up, I am happy to be at Virginia Tech. I have two years down and hopefully only two to go before I head to grad school! I desperately wish VT had a 5 year teaching program, but that ain't gonna happen.


Today my class load isn't too bad, but I have work 3-6. Tomorrow I have four classes and I'm not done until 8:00 pm...boo!
I'll let y'all know later in the week how everything goes :) So far, I have had one professor who is OBSESSED with Harry Potter. I think I can live with that.

On another note, I think I'm going to start a 101in 1001 challenge. I saw this idea on several blogs and I am dying to see if I can do it. If I start today, August 22, 2011, that means I will have until May 17, 2014 to finish my list. Think I can do it?
I'm going to start my list later and I'll post it once I have it finished :) I might also make a junior year goals list...or maybe combine the two!

I'm sitting under a tree and acorns are falling everywhere and I don't want to be hit in the head - so I'm heading inside! Good luck to everyone else starting fall classes :)

Sunday Verse

It is God who arms me with strength

   and keeps my way secure.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
   he causes me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
   my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

- Psalm 18:32-34

Friday Fun: New Movies

I've been to a few movies recently, (The Help...Crazy, Stupid Love), and I left feeling just as happy with the previews as I was about the movie itself! Here are some upcoming movies I'm excited about seeing:

(Not all of these were previews from those movies)

NEW YEAR'S EVE: Holy moly, I get chills whenever I see this preview. This movie is full of awesome actors and just looks so good! I love when they do multiple story lines.

HAPPY FEET TWO: Fun fact...I love cartoons. And penguins. The first one is such a good movie and I think this one is promising as well!

TOWER HEIST: Haven't seen Eddie Murphy in a while, but this looks like it could be a good one. I love comedy/action movies, just like The Other Guys.

PUSS IN BOOTS: Who didn't love his signature sad face in the Shrek movie?! Like I said earlier, I lovvvve cartoons so, naturally, I am excited for this.

Melts my lil heart

THE VOW: Again with the chills. Rachel McAdams + Channing Tatum + romantic drama makes this Nicholas Sparks-esque movie at the top of my list!

What do y'all think? Did I miss any good ones? (Besides Breaking Dawn...but I'm trying to not sound like a Twilight freak.)

happy weekend :)
