Since U Been Gone

So ya... it's been a while since I posted anything here. The world is kind of collapsing around me, but in a good way. Well, actually it kind of sucks right now but I'm pretty sure it'll all turn out for the best. So I'm gonna try to keep this to a short reprise of what I've been up to lately, but I'm feeling pretty philosophical, so I don't know how well that will work out. My best attempt at this will be to direct you to the photos that I've posted to the slide show and ask you to read the captions to see what I've been up to. I'll also provide a short bullet point synopsis here:

Haas Lock In - Rally Committee spent the night in the volleyball gymnasium. I stayed up until 6:30 AM, until I fell asleep for 20 minutes and got taped into a twister mat.

Homecoming Week - I was on the Homecoming subcommittee for UCRC. We planned a Cal gear fashion show, in which I dressed up as the ASU Sun Devil, and Oski kicked my ass. I also got attacked by a cotton candy machine. I have gained much respect for the people at Seaworld that make it.

ASU Football Game - I got to wave the Cal flag on the field during the 3rd quarter, which we won! I also got to guard the California banner during the 4th quarter.

Photoshoot - Michael and I had a crazy late night run through campus and took a bunch of random photos.


And now, a bit of insight, because I couldn't resist including this somewhere...

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
