Shanghai, China
 
Here we go, a new year, a new semester, new Gamma Phi babies (who are absolutely stunning!), a new major, a new room, new everything! Monday starts the madness and as summer closes I can’t help but to feel old. Not that that’s really bad. It’s actually kind of nice- to already know what [...]


 
 
 
 
Theater in Glasgow, Scotland*
 
I just recently saw the Dark Knight at the movie theater with my dad. I loved it. I’ve been explaining it to my Mom which is kind of hard. Because it’s a scary movie but you can’t really put your finger on what kind of a scary. It’s not a horror, psychological thriller, or [...]


Beyond the Sea

I miss the ocean. Not the beach…I’m not into the whole South Padre/South Beach/Hunnington Beach scene. I mean the ocean, like miles out at sea. I miss being out there on the ocean. To me a perfect morning would be on a ship. Waking up before dawn, grabbing a warm mug of coffee. Black coffee…straight [...]


On Sunday, we had someone else preach at my church…our regular pastor was on vacation. His sermon discussed an “extreme makeover” on a person’s character. For the past few weeks, since I’ve been home and visiting family, I have really been soul searching. I mean, lately, I’ve just really been thinking about who I am, [...]


I am in love…with a watch. The other day I was at the jewelry store which I tend to do every few weeks for fun. And I put on the most beautiful Rolex. It’s called Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Silver bracelet with rose gold in the center and around the dial, the dial is black mother [...]


Martha Moment!

01Jul08

      So….this summer has allowed me to visit family, take two online classes that I just want to be done with, clean out my room about three times, and eat way too much. So…I have to decided to get crafty during my spare time which is in fact a lot of time. I’m going to [...]


The Look
Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Robin in he fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest,
Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.
                              –Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)                              
       
 
Every since I was a little girl I would read this poem my grandmother cross-stitched for [...]


Summer days are gone too soon…
 

 
        I can honestly say that Alabama is my home. I was born in Mobile and was raised there until I was seven. Most of my mother’s family lives in Mobile and most of my father’s family lives outside of Birmingham or outside of Atlanta. Those are my roots. This [...]

For the 2007 campaign, she did three different images which were released throughout the year. The first being of Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella, David Beckham as Prince Phillip, [...]


 
 Reflection:
Today is the last day for me to be a teenager. Tomorrow morning at 8:53 am I will be 20 years old. I probably will always feel like I’m 8 or 9. I still say things like, “when I grow up.” Now that I will no longer be a teenager it’s becoming clear to me [...]
