Six days and counting

Listening to: You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra
Currently drinking: Enough coffee to make an elephant have to pee... umm be right back

Whew! Happy Thursday everyone, I hope you all had a fun, safe Mardi Gras :) Mine consisted of the Pirate and I staying in, eating salad, and watching the Devil Wears Prada; I kid you not when I tell you it wasn't my idea. I guess I needed a break though, after last weekend...





That Starbucks was SO BUSY!
Hey! They spelled my name right!

This week has been spent finishing school projects/studying, finalizing packing, and getting everything I don't need out of the house or put into storage. Yesterday, I sent the final draft of my essay to This I Believe (if you want to submit an essay to be posted on their website, it needs to be 500 words or fewer). I admit, I am a little excited; I've never had anything published before, sooooo it would be kind of cool to see one of my pieces in a legitimate book or on a national website. Anyway, other than that I had my final "recital" for ballet which was, for lack of a better word, AWESOME. Let's just say, the teacher had to take about thirty seconds to calm down after our performance before the next group could go on...you know whatever ;) I also finally received word from the Consulate of Japan that my Visa was done and that I could come get it anytime. I have no idea why I didn't just FedEx it to my house, it would have saved me about thirty dollars in gas and a whole lot of headache, but it doesn't matter; I finally have it. Woo! Plus, making the trek down to Seattle meant that I got to see one of my good frisbee friends, who I otherwise would not have been able to see before I left.


We were outside...

but then it got cold so we went inside.
Since it's nearing the end of the week and I will be spending the rest of my time here studying for finals, throwing a giant going away bash, and just plain being awesome, I figure I may as well post some of my favorite photos of Bellingham and surrounding areas. I will try to post before I takeoff, or maybe in the airport, so lattes of <3 until then!
