back to the thrill

today i packed up my things that were scattered ALL over my room, and i headed back to unc. today i said goodbye to mother, father, brother, sugar, mufasa, and concord and hello to my suitemates and chapel hill. christmas break was much needed, and it was so nice to be home with family and friends. i decided it's sad to leave home, but it's also super nice to be back at school. today's pictures are a mix of packing, my precious pets, the drive back, and my seven splendid suitemates.

my crazy family

today my family discovered some old halloween masks and accessories in the closet, so we had to have a little photoshoot. we looked ridiculous, but i don't think we've ever laughed so hard. today i also coaxed daniel into letting me take pictures of him though he did seem a little more interested in the rope swing nearby than being in pictures...

end note: i think that we should invest in a rope swing at home. obviously, daniel would love it.

victoria randall

today i met my friend tori at the park to take pictures. she and i go way back. i guess if i were to be technical, we go back to before i was at northwest. we go back to volleyball tryouts and then practice the summer before school actually started. after that, we spent loads of afternoons at volleyball together and countless weekends at tournaments. anyways, today was stellar. tori did photography for her senior project, and her mom loves taking pictures, so she and i came up with new ideas for shots. plus it didn't hurt that she's super photogenic. there's a lot more pictures than normal for today, but i couldn't just pick a few; there were too many good ones.

end note: i'm really going to miss afternoons at the park when i go back to school.

soccer & waffle hizzouse

today has been a hodge podge, or well, tonight has... tonight the wong family plus christina, daniel's girlfriend, piled into the van to grab a quick dinner at subway before becoming daniel's personal fan club for his indoor soccer team: girl power. there was the prettiest sunset outside of subway, so i had to pull out the camera like a good little photographer. i would also like to add further clarification on this term "indoor" in indoor soccer. daniel's "indoor" soccer is actually not indoors at all. it is actually outdoors in the 30 degree weather. the only thing that daniel's "indoor" soccer has in common with being indoors is that you enter the field through a door, so i guess that makes it "in doors," right? anyways, also tonight i met janel and taylor at waffle house. there is a running tradition of late night waffle house trips. this tradition also involves talking for at least 2 hours as well as a grilled chicken melt, side of hash browns, and a chocolate chip waffle being split between us. sidenote: waffle house was one on the best discoveries of senior year. anywho, here are my pictures for the day from all of the aforementioned events!

end note: today i found a new talent: i can rap eminem's song "mockingbird" flawlessly.

casa grande on fridays

today i went to casa grande - twice. casa grande is one of my favorite places here at home to eat. in high school, a lot of my friends did not have a 4th period senior year, so on fridays we would eat a late lunch there. we even created a facebook group called "casa grande on fridays." we were sooo cool. today a few of the girls from "casa grande on fridays" got together to have casa grande on wednesday. kinda the same, right? today i also went with my mom to take mufasa to the vet. he was the most pathetic thing i have ever seen. he did not like the kennel, the car, or the shots. i don't have too many pictures from today, but here are the few i did take...

well, i never put my pictures up from the other night, so why not add them now too? sara and i made a trip over to visit tori and her little boy, mac. it was a fun night of catching up, messing around with mac's toys, watching tv, and playing wii dance. wii dance was the funniest thing. anyways, here are the pictures. better late than never right?

end note: there is a high possibility that i could eat mexican food every meal of the day.
