It's Sunday night and I'm procrastinating on my work...good thing I have a blog to distract me :) This weekend was absolutley amazing. Yesterday, I spent the day going to the rugby game and then downtown with my roommate and her sisters who were here to visit. It was family and alumni weekend so there was a bunch to do on campus and tons of familiar faces downtown.
Today was the last day of summer...sadly.... so a few friends and I went down to North Beach on Lake Champlain and I took a few pictures for my photojournalism class and the weather was absolutley gorgeous. It was such an awesome day and surprisingly warm after the past few nights being verryyy chilly. Here a few artsy pics to enjoy :) 
The past week has been busy as usual for classes and such. I actually love my classes this semester. My photojournalism class has been a lot of work but definitely one of my favorites so far at SMC. I went down to Battery Park around the waterfront last week to take 7 pictures of 10 total strangers. I was first really intimidated and nervous but I actually did pretty well with the assignment and met some really nice people. I felt kind of creepy but everything worked out in the end haha.
Last Monday I went downtown with some of my friends to Nectars to see Tom Cadrin and Fink, two really popular SMC musicians. We're really lucky to have so many talented bands and artists here on campus and they are able to play at Turtle Underground, a live concert or night of music in Purtill Hall's basement on saturday nights. A few bands also play at Townhouses some nights and give concerts at Higherground, Nectars and other fun places in the area. You should check them out if you haven't already!
Tomorrow starts the first day of swimming...eeeek. I'm really nervous but excited for this year. We have some really good first years and a few transfers as well. Our captains are also really awesome this year so I'm looking forward to see how well our season will turn out.
I'm also starting to get things all ready for going abroad next semester. I'm having so much fun here this semester already I think I'm going to be a little sad to leave come December. But, I know it will be an amazing experience that will be worth it all. Alot of my friends are abroad this semester including my blogger/teammate/friend Christine and my roommate from last year Catie. Christine has an awesome blog going on right now, if you haven't checked it out you should! She's studying in Italy and Catie is in Denmark. I miss them very much :( I've been having so much fun looking at their pictures and talking to them about all their exciting stories and I can't wait to have my own in Ireland next spring!
So ack to homework.... but lots to look forward to in the next few posts! Hope everyone has a great week and talk to you soon! :)

hi lover.
1. cute pics, I stalked them all (obvi) and you've got a great eye for cute stuff.
2. thanks for the shout out, I'll be sure to return the favor soon.
3. Flikr isn't too hard. make an account and sort your pictures into sets (I just have Florence 1, 2, 3, etc). Then opt to watch the slide show and on the right side you'll have an option to copy and paste the html (when you paste into your post, make sure it's in "edit html" mode, it's a tab on the top right of the post window). It should work from there, let me know if you have trouble.
LOVEEEEE YOU
