I'm home again...the last two days have involved unpacking and crazy amounts of laundry...I'm also in the process of decluttering my room...which is surprisingly a lot of work considering that my room is about 12 x 8 ft!! haha!!! It's fun to find old journals and notes....and plenty of dust bunnies!

Here are some photos from my last weekend at school...i brought my camera with me to my final exam and shot some photos around campus!! :) Made the whole exam process less painful!

I'm a sucker for baby ducks! I love how they all stuck their heads in the water at the same time! They seemed to have a rhythm..in out, in out!
















This isn't on campus, but it is somehow fitting....

Friends...

Here are some shots from a hike I took with two friends from college!! Tomorrow is my last exam and then i am completely DONE.....for summer that is!

I absolutely LOOOOVE the lighting in this photo! Look at the green shadow on her face! Beautiful!

A similar shot in black and white!


Kylie took this photo and I edited it.


There is a path you know....


I think this picture captures the anticipation of the summit!


We made it!



The typical teenage self-portrait...we aren't teens, but it wasn't that long ago! :)


Love this photo of Autumn! such a natural beauty!




Typical tourist?




Me and Autumn


cool shot Kylie got as i nearly fall off the mountain!


Absolutely adore this!




This one makes me laugh! I look ready to hit the Appalachian trail and Autumn has her mall swagger going on! :)


And this one deserves to be large because the texture is so fantastic!

Spring Green!

I went for an almost three mile run this morning with my roommate Laura! I've never even run one mile...so this was an accomplishment! It's easier when you have a buddy to keep you motivated! The peer pressure kept me plodding along! We ran through some beautiful little neighborhoods, up around a small pond, and through an incredibly beautiful wooded path...the light was so amazing that I had to come back and take pictures!! I also drove around a bit and came upon a dirt road...it eventually opened up to this field that had a lovely view of the mountains to the south and my campus, which unfortunately sticks up like a sore thumb in the middle of the natural splendor... I'm enjoying taking time to explore now that I'm not up to my eyeballs in work! :P

Here are some faves from my little outing....

And just for effect, here is a similar photo in the same woods a month and a half earlier:
