Travels Start in the Morning!

Okay Marshmallows,

Thus far this blog has been a total fail, let's be real, Chantel and I started these as a challenge to each other... and it's maybe turned into an elongated facebook status. fail.  That's GOING TO CHANGE!

I'm pretty sure that this will mostly serve as a photo journal of my trip, which means lots of pictures and little writing! Just like a picture book from your childhood, minus the rhyming... well there may be some rhyming.

Anyway, don't judge my grammar and I won't judge you either and we will all be great friends!

I can't believe I leave tomorrow...

xoxo,
Vero

Donesos!!!

Well blogosphere, the day has come. I am officially a college graduate! Go team go! This is the reasoning behind my extremely failed blogging habits of the past few weeks... to come will probably be a post about DDD Tour- we shall see...

To keep you updated, what has happened the past few weeks is graduation, moving out of my apartment, DDD tour, trying to cram my entire apartment into my bedroom at my parent's house, and applying for my visa for China. I can't believe I'm done with school- but on to new adventures.

I bought a tour book (what a tourist, am I right?)... lots of pictures,
because let's be honest who wants to read when you can look at pictures!

To Dance is To Fly

"Dance, the hidden language of the soul."

Although I still have a week of class before finals, I've begun to switch to "play" mode.  I don't have much to do anymore academically so I got to do a lovely photo-shoot this weekend.  It was a ton of fun even with Moscow's crazy winds! Here's a little look at the results.

I thought this week would be different...

I thought since I was finally done with my capstone project, my week would look something like this;

Lots of Sleep, Sun, a Good Book, and yummy Food and Drink...mmmm

Or maybe a little bit more accurately like this; because the weather in Moscow is RIDICULOUS and usually one day is comprised of sun, rain, wind, annnnnnd snow (yes at different times, or together, or really any mixture thereof)

Am I the only one who sees that she is wearing a sock on her right foot but not her left?
 Probably makes us more alike actually... Also I haven't decided
 if she is eating ice cream, yogurt, or a classy looking cup-o-noodles...
 You should also probably take out the city in the window and replace
 it with cows because I live in a cow town- moooo

So what? I chose really attractive cartoon animations of what I thought this week would be like, it's my view and of course no one is going to make themselves look like an ugger in their imagination!

But you want to know the reality of this week? What I really looked like? Are you sure???

"Gotta go to presentations, then rehearsals, oh shoot there
 are two shows this week that I said I'd perform in...
 Am I supposed to be on stage right now?
 Tour rehearsals are starting already?
You want me to help you what????"

I think I stretched myself a little thin, as per usual... woopsies...

but I'd rather be busy than bored.

xoxo happy saturday loves

The month in the eyes of my 'dumb phone'

While their cameras are great and all, I have yet to jump on the 'smart phone' band wagon... but I'll be the first to admit that I'm totally jealous of anyone with the new iphone.  Although my friend and I were sent on a 45 minute wild goose chase once upon a spring break by none other than the lovely Siri, I have to say those phones seem pretty slick.

So my dears, this is some of the fun that my 'dumb phone' has recorded this past month... embrace the lack of technological innovation... I'm calling it artistic...

It was sunny... kinda a big deal at the time.
There's a great view of campus if you ignore the
 parking lot and the dumpster....

for before accepting my China internship.

A beautiful day at Alki Beach

Trying to make someone jealous of the beautiful day at the beach... 

Mmmmm coffee... so pretty!!!

Wrote the outline to my presentation at the bar...
just trying to embrace my last month as a college student.

Working on the animation project.

Chillax a Little

Thank goodness that project is over my friends! I had my big presentation yesterday so I've decided to take the first half of today off to chill on my semi-broken futon with a cup of organic local coffee (what a hippie right?) and a copy of Vogue and Home & Architectural Trends (ok maybe hippie slash megga nerd- what can I say).  Also note the lovely flowers given to me by one amazazaZING friend for finishing my project!  I'm so happy that the stress is over, but my inner nerd is going to miss the project a little.

Capping It Off

A Page From My Presentation (not quite finished obviously...) 

work, work, work... this week is full of homework.  My senior capstone project is due on monday and I've been working like a crazy person! Many a nights have been spent in the computer lab on campus to create the 'perfect' presentation.  Who knew I'd be working so much on architecture, 3d modeling, and graphic design on top of being an interior designer?
