School Outfits: Week 1

This is a terribly late and crappy photo of an outfit. But it is the best I can do for this week. Sincere apologies and a pinky promise to do better next week.

For my first visit to the school, I kept it simple with a blue tank-top, plaid button-up, a black maxi skirt, and silver sandals.

If you were going to rock such an outfit, you might could grab stuff like these products:

College: The Sophomore Year

Hello, dearest of readers!

I am back in school, and goodness have I hit the ground running! Being in class 16+ hours a week means that I study roughly 16 hours a week too. So I basically "work" a 32 hour week. Not bad, all things considered. I also maintain a small personal life, and I am on the lookout for a part time job.

Due to time constraints, I will be posting less on here, and due to current life situations, the direction of the blog will change slightly. I will be addressing current issues facing Agriculture and Education, along with my stance on both topics as a Christian. (Yes, my religious beliefs do affect my views on Agriculture! I'll explain more in the coming weeks.) I'll also post humorous stories, life lessons learned, and tips/tricks I find helpful on living as a full-time student.

Over the next semester, I will be an assisting/observing preservice teacher in a local school ten different times. I have been searching like mad lately to find clothing appropriate to wear to a school, in a style that I actually like, that is also inexpensive enough for my very, very limited budget. I will be posting my weekly outfits every Friday, in the hopes of inspiring other education students.

If there's anything you'd like to see on here, feel free to comment. I like hearing from people.

Popping In

Hello Lovelies!

I'm still caught up in the whirlwind of getting ready to move back in to school in a few days. But I've missed writing and I said to myself this morning, "Dadgummit, I'm going to write a blog post if it kills me!"

I'm done (mostly) making things for the Fair. My favorite things I've made are ^That book clutch^ and these necklace pendants:

 

I got to go to my favorite Elvis Week event - one of the free shows at The Tent! My super incredibly talented friend performs and competes every year and I've been blown away by how much stronger his performance is every time he steps onto a stage. This boy's going places. 

I'll miss my "summer home" but it's time for me to hit the road. 

No, really! I finally bought a car! 

College, here I come for Round 2.

A Recap

So almost two weeks ago I posted that I was really busy. I was and am still. 

But I have had many adventures!

I visited my little college town and its library. 

People should know better than to offer free books to take home around me!

I paid a visit to an old family quilt that hangs in the library. Each pattern piece is made of twenty or so names hand-embroidered on. 

That took some patience, right there.

Then the next day I got up and for two days I traveled all the way up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the EAA Airventure Airshow. 

It was my first time camping....so of course it rained every day and my tent leaked. Good thing I love nature.

And a few rainbows never hurt anyone, either.

Among the hundreds of things to do was listen to astronauts talk about their research plane. 

Or, for those with a need for adrenaline.....

...You could watch aerial-aerobatics with exploding dynamite as the backdrop!

(At this point, I informed The Gentleman that I am, in fact, actually in *need* of a few sticks of dynamite for my very own. He disagreed vehemently....apparently I don't seem trustworthy with fire or something...) 

(Back off, ladies - he's mine!)

It was a wonderful adventure (or Airventure, as the case may be.) Plus, I got to hang out with this handsome fellow for a solid 9 days!
