#2 Talk about your piercings or tattoos, if you have any.
Just have my ears pierced.
Twice in bot ears.
Thinking about getting my nose pierced but not sure yet.
& that is that.
Rather boring question for me to answer.
Have to start studying for finals today... my first one is on Thursday at 8:30am.
Joy of all joys.
Our house is all decorated now which has brought on the Christmas spirit.
Since I've spent all my $$$$ on the trip in May, I've thought up some inexpensive creative gifts. Got pretty much all the stuff I need for them.
ANYWHOOOO, enough procrastination from moi. Onward I go to study.

30 Day Challenge #1
Ok, swiped this from Gabbi b/c i am le bored.
#1 Your middle name & how you feel about it.
Well, my middle name is Larisa.
I used to hate it but now I love it.
It's different and it refers back to my Russian roots
Urban Dictionary says Larisa is...
"a nice person, great friend, amazing girl. She is a really special person. She is creative, funny, she loves music and movies. She will never let you down."
FAAAAAANtastic

167 days
167 DAYS!!! lol, still pretty far off but clooooooser!
Made the first payment for my trip today; oh lawd, goodbye $$$! How I will miss thee...
All I can say is, better get that raise at work because I am gonna need it.
It was snowing and gorgeous last week.
Then it rained... and rained some more... and continued to rain.
Arrivederci short-lived snow.
And our Christmas lights are now up. YAY!
I love Christmas! Can;t wait to decorate the tree this weekend.
This is my last week of classes and my finals end on the 15th.
Here's hoping I'll do well!
Next semester should be interesting... chose my classes on the 24th.
I have 2 profs I had this sem for humanities and history courses and another Italian course + a distance ed history course.
Atm, I'm feeling like crap.
Pretty sick and nearly fainted on the skytrain to school.
Stuck on the couch, my dad is making me watch one of those concerts on Detroit Public Television. Ack!
Don't mind the concert... it's Rain, the Beatles tribute band. Pretty good... watching the weirdos in the audience is fairly entertaining.
It's the part where they flip to the telephone lines and the guys talking about making donations. The ones for this one are exceptionally bad. Keep stumbling over every second word and those segments are SOOOO long. Shut up, already!
Anywho, that's all for now... nothing exciting.
Still raining.

182 days
Oh, Christmas... can't you come sooner?
I have officially finished my papers for this sem and I want it to be overrrr!
I can't wait for all the decorations to be up. They make the house seem so much cozier than it normally is. I love decorating the tree while listening to christmas music playing in the background. And seeing all the lights outside sparkle when it's snowing... it's the best.
Here's hoping the next few weeks fly by!

Stepping out of my comfort zone!
OK! I've decided what I'm doing about my dire need for travel.
Since I can't find anyone to fully commit to going on an independent trip to Italy in May, I am going to book a tour! Going solo is a bit intimidating, not going to lie, but I can meet tons of new people on this tour. =)
I'm gonna be travelling with the college version of the same company I used for my Paris, Provence, & Barcelona trip in highschool: EF.
I'd be spending most of the money I have but it will be worth it. Travelling is what I've always wanted to do and Europe is amazing.
I'd be going for 17 days in May to:
Amsterdam
Berlin
Prague
Munich
Venice
Florence
Rome
The most important location for me was Italy, Venice in particular. Hence why I chose this specific tour.
Cannot wait! Should be an amazing experience!

Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving means...
PUMPKIN PIE!!! WOOOOO!!!
Attempt # 1: made 2 pumpkin pies by following the recipe on the can of pure pumpkin. this was one of those times when i should've trusted my instincts. the can said i should add 1 1/3 c. of milk... MILK, and a lot of it. it didn't seem right to me (b/c it wasn't) but i did it anyway and they didn't cook at all b/c they had no substance! completely runny. threw 'em out.
Attempt #2: made 2 this morning... still in oven but the consistency makes me think these ones will work out b/c i used EVAPORATED MILK. yay! knock on wood they work out.
Thanksgiving also means turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy!
YUM!
the downfall of this time of year? midterms
stressing me oooouuuutttt but hopefully i do reasonably well.
HOPEFULLY
also, my lovely little sister is going on a cruise that was free w/ her friends family. they are going to the caribbean. so while i'm doing midterms on the top of a stupid mountain, alison will be on a huge luxury boat in the caribbean.
great.
