Skopelos
so I was searching for photos online of Skopelos Island, in north-eastern greece, and i came upon this photo. I think the hike up that hill would be worth the view. Although, the atmosphere would be intense on a stormy evening.

At 7:30 am on Saturday, May 13th, Jared was getting into his dress robes to go graduate at Bramlege Autotorium. We walked for geography in the college of Arts and Sciences. Thank goodnes, because Education majors walk later in the day and there are so many of them.

Jared- if you read this- i know you know what I'm talking about!! Everyone else should go rent the film, because it is a classic indeed...enjoy the sunny weather- summer is finally upon us.

Cemetary
This is next to the Lake, so we walked through and there were graves from the 1870s. Next the the cemetary is an abandoned church. It was really pretty and up on this hill.
Tuttle Creek Lake
Thursday turned out to be such a beautiful afternoon that Alisha(my roomie) and I went for a drive to the Lake and took some photos. Listened to my Greek CD and we pretended to sing along even though we didn't know what they were singing!
Sunset Revival
Alyssa and I after catching our breath from dancing at sunset revival. They had Pomeroy playing, just as we arrived! Everyone was jumping up and down and I thought I was going to be trumpled upon;) Thank heavens- I'm still here.
Cake and Ice Cream
This is at Amanda and Lindsey's appartment for Cake(Keg) and Ice Cream before the date party!! And yes, we did have a cake there also...this is me with Jessica, and Kenny. We are kind of the history nerds at the party:)

Bananas
Alright- so I was in the grocery store the other day and buying bananas and I had a flash back(suprise!) to studying in France. At the store here you take your bananas to the cashier who weights them and then you pay according to the lb. Well, in France, or at least where I shopped(Monprix or Casino or Spar), we had to weigh our own products and then the sticker would print out and we put it on ourselves. Clearly, the reason I mention this is: I would always forget, and I would have to say in my terrible french that I forgot and they would send me back to do this and I would hold up the line!! At least I can say that shopping was an adventure!!

Sails at Sunrise
So, whenever warmer weather comes my way it makes me want to go to the beach and go sailing. Someday I would like to be able to own my own ship- nothing to large, just a nice little yacht, but all wooded with large sails, like in the film "Captain Ron"!!
Just a thought...
Just a thought...
St. Remy
Last April CEA took us to this farm outside of St. Remy, in the south of France. I just really liked this photo, so I thought I would put it on my blog!
Easter
This past weekend I got to go spend time with my grandpa! It was so relaxing, that is except for the moment we realized we bought cajun turkey breast. Boy, grandma was sure looking down and laughing at us!!! Sherri, Gpa, and I watched Fiddler on the Roof, bought lottery tickets, and looked through old photos. Sunday morning after Easter mass at St. Joe's we went to Dillion's and got doughnuts. Had a great lunch on the farm with Susie, Mickey, Brad, Mandy, Emily, Molly, and Michael!! Then spent the afternoon making sure my car was up to date. Mandy- if you read this- go ahead and send me pics!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!!

Great Wall of China
Tonight I drove out to I-70 to meet mom, Gi, Diane, Jane and Stephen as they were passing to go to Hays. It was dark already and along the highway I saw the fields being burned, so the soil would get replenished for this years harvest...Anyways- the line of fire in the dark made me think of what the Great Wall of China would look like if the enemy were attacking and they had to light the fire at each fortress along its path!!!

wine keg's
Can't believe that it's been a whole year since we had our wine keg party in France at Jessica and Elena's appartment in the Cloe. Time has really flown. That was the first night Elena drank- and she was crawling across the floor for her 7th glass! Andy made some superb pasta dish which we devowered once he left the room...and Leslie was dancing to Daniel Powter! No need to share our pictures of that evening with others:)

Zeik
Kevin was home when Catherine and I got back to Jared's so we watched in amazement/fear as he took Zeik out of her cage and gave her some mixed salad, with strawberry yogurt...interesting combination. Then we enjoyed our afternoon by watching the Royal Tennenbaums!!
Later in the day, as I was showering to go back out, the fire alarms went off- not cool!!!

Then at 3pm KSU vs. KU and mom and I were stuck outside in the cold for and hour waiting in line. Meet some great guys- Levi and Chris. Then ate a wonderful dinner (evil desert chicken) at Coco Bolos!!! And pub crawl commenced at 9:30pm. We stayed out until 1am!!

Nate- qu'est-ce que c'est passe?
The lobster(Nate), had a bit of a collide with the corner of the hallway. Luckily after 8 stiches, and two hours in the ER, we returned to our humble abode and put him to sleep. He woke in the morning with only a massive headache to go along with minor memory. Way to be a trooper!
out house
The wonderful out house we all welcome before our jog to Aggieville on this brisk evening of 6 degrees! With good friends and a whole 2 blocks of blissful entertainment, the semester just flies by- all too quickly.

PT-19
Some day(I really have the faintest idea when) I will learn how to fly a plane, since I have wanted to from the age of 12. Bruno Tschannon had a PT-19 that was used during WWII and he took me and my family up in it and so I would like to learn how to fly a plane such as this!!!
Although, Bruno's was blue with yellow trimming...

Saturday, 14th of January, 2006
The day was wonderful and filled with much activity!! Alisha and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with Callie and some of her friends to watch the KU vs. KSU basketball game. Saw an old friend- Swine, and we conversed for a while. It seems we were the only KU fans in the place! K-State beat KU- breaking our 31 streak loss- I am actually very happy for my university! Went to Dairy Queen and we ate our cherry dipped cones outside- it was in the 60s- in the middle of january- can you believe that?!! Then we went to a matinee showing of "Tristen and Isolde". Which I think is the new Braveheart.

Liverpool vs Sao Paulo
Jared and I spent the afternoon of the 18th in Willie's Bar in manhattan. It is the only bar in town that has FSC(Fox Soccer Channel)...Liverpool vs. Sao Paolo in Tokyo for a tournament. Luckily we hadn't eaten all day, so we had a reason besides soccer to go. Everyone else was watcing hockey and american football. Sao Paulo won one to nil, but it was a great game. And very enjoyable. Felt like I was back in Europe at the Bars!!!

Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
So today after our great sneak last night, we headed back to Manhattan. Ate lunch at Panera Bread Co. and set down to studying in the dining room next to Olson. Then Olson, Kayla and I headed to Target and back to studying some more. Around 9:30pm Kelly and I went to wash my car and play tennis at the Rec. Weather was excellent and when we were leaving I saw Jared with Tracey and Meghan on a different court. Then I tried to teach Olson how to drive a 5 speed. We came back and played Heart and Soul on the piano in the formal room. We had a good day together and now it is winding down. But it was a good fall break:
Friday- Oktoberfest with Sherri and Grandpa, then went to the Cabaret play at FHSU. Saturday- went to the parade and watched Fiddler on the Roof and hit up Bingo after Church. Sunday- drove back to Manhattan and the Juniors went on their sneak!!
