Back to school, back to school.

Today was my first day of this semester. I've been dreading it all week, especially since my first class is Chemistry (and I HATE Chemistry), but it actually wasn't so terrible. I got to wake up at 7:30 instead of 6 this morning because my class doesn't start until 9:35 (WOO HOOOO!) and that helped a milllionnnnn. I got ready, and actually managed to have a pretty good hair day considering it was drizzling outside. When I got to my class a lot of people were already there, and Im not really sure why, but for some reason I was REALLY nervous this time. I sat in the middle of my 300 chair classroom. As soon as I saw my professor I knew it wouldn't be too bad. She was about 60 with gray hair to her shoulders and old glasses. She looked pretty laid back.

 She talked about the syllabus and all of that boring stuff that all teachers have to do the first day of class. Then she starting telling us a little bit about herself. She said she grew up near Canada, and ended up going to college there. After college her husband and her bought a VW bus, and traveled around the US, and Mexico, and Guatemala. SO COOL RIGHT!? She also said that she was a liberal feminist hippie, and that because of that, she is probably more relaxed and laid back than some teachers. She seemed to be a really cool person, and Im excited about  being in her class. Maybe she can make me like Chemistry a little more? Or at least understand it...? If this class is any indication of how my semester is going to be, I think everything might actually be alright! Lets hope so anyway...! That was my only class today, but tomorrow I get to tackle Statistics, Swimming, and Geography. All starting at 8 AM. More on that tomorrow?

FINALLY...

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, it has been absolutely crazyyyy around here lately! But I can say, that I have officially finished my first week at Texas A&M! :) AND, today I finally had the time to take a couple of pictures of the place for everyone to see! Now remember, we still aren't done, and I will post more as time goes on, but this is it so far. I must say, I'm pretty in love with our little house!!!

The front of the place. 

An view of the living room from the upstairs window.

Ralph loves to lay like this...:)

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this old trunk, it was a gift from my father when we moved in, and it is now our new coffee table! He has had this thing for as long as I can remember.

Yes, as a matter a fact Jesse did make this table. Yes, they are both pretty great. :)

I love our little retro stove.

Our bedroom.

I just had to put this picture up...thats one of those awful singing fish. Im sure all of you know SOMEONE that has one...well, you see, it was a sort of gag gift from my father to Jesse, and we just couldnt think of a better place to put it than there...;)

The upstairs spare bedroom.

...Well, this post got a little longer than I thought it would, so thank you to all of you who lasted until the end! Haha, but seriously, what do yall think? Does anyone have any ideas? :)

This is how I feel right now.

Someone rescue me please...

A Whole New Life

It feels like it has been a million years since I last wrote. Possibly because it has. Today I was thinking about how much has changed in the last six months. Six months ago I was at a little college in Montrose, and now getting ready to move in with the love of my life and I have just found out that I will was accepted into Texas A&M University! I was so ecstatic when I found out the other day. I know that this is just one step closer to what I want to be. Both of those worlds are very different indeed, but I feel like both of them are going to be very important in the history of my life. I would never give up my time in Houston. I feel like in many ways, Houston is my home. My rock. Ive made friends in Houston that I know will  be with me for the rest of my life. Houston has a way of teaching you things that you cant learn in school...

Speaking of Houston, I recently went to the premiere of a wonderful movie that my father had the opportunity to have a great part in. The movie is called For The Sake Of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair, and as the name says, it is indeed the story of Anderson Fair! The history in that building is unbelievable! Many amazing singer/songwriters come out of this music scene, just a couple of them including Lyle Lovett, Vince Bell, and of course my father Eric Taylor. ;) If anyone gets the chance to see this film please dont pass it up. I promise you wont be sorry!

Ive also been feeling pretty creative lately. I sort of feel like I am looking at everything from a different perspective right now. Its a really great feeling.

Eeek.

Bahhhh.

Just sent my application in to A&M.

Think good thoughts! :)

Things done today:

1. Went to my second day at Blinndergarten. My math teacher taught me more about ducks than math, the bookstore consists of a closet, and I believe I have officially had a class in every room of the school in my two short days there.

2. Looked at pictures of what will HOPEFULLY be my future apartment!!! :) Its modest, but still a nice little place for us to call home.

3. Gave my miniature dachshund Ralph a bath.

4. Skype'd with my two amazing people, Dena & Makenzie!

5. Looked at lots of amazing craft websites like The Design Sponge & Craftynest.
