“Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.”

Life life life. I've been sprinting for the past two weeks and I am TIRED.

I don't really remember the past two weeks, to be honest. I think some important stuff happened, but who knows. My memory is really terrible.

Friday was Honors Day. Mom was supposed to come down but couldn't. I was sad, but she sent me flowers, which made me happy. :) I will always always always love receiving flowers. :)

I had the HES Convocation at 10:30 where I received the Margaret Stough Gold Key Award. That was nice. Then I ran over to Lloyd for the CBH Convocation where I got the Jane Nix Service Award. AKA you work in the office and CBH owns you. Just kidding. It means I love CBH and I work extra hard for them. After that, Annie and I walked over to the mound for tapping. We both got tapped for Mortar Board. Yay. I got the worst tan lines from sitting in the sun for 2+ hours. I wanted to pass out. Oy. After that I came home and worked on my presentation for the rest of the night. So exciting.

Saturday I got up early-ish and Abby and Clay picked me up. We headed to Lake Lurleen to go hiking. I was so excited! After the last two weeks, I needed something fun. We hiked for around 3 hours, 6ish miles, saw a rattle snake and a copperhead, and various other creatures. After that we headed over to the beach area to cool off. That felt amazing. Oh, I hiked in my Chaco's with great success! I'm really loooving these shoes. So yeah. After that, we went over to Mike & Ed's for yummy BBQ. We were all super hungry, and M&E's is delicious! I also downed like 4 giant glasses of water. SO thirsty!

After that, they dropped me off and I passed out for a few hours. I LOVE exhaustion naps. haha they are the best. Then I went over to Heather's to feed the dogs and let them out. They left me some surprises, which I was not too pleased about. Then I came back and worked on my draping dress for the rest of the night. I got A LOT done, which I was so happy about.

Today, I've worked on draping/research presentation/tee time all day. Literally. I woke up at 10 and didn't stop until 10 tonight. Lindsay came over to work on her stuff too, so that helped both of us focus for so long. I loove Lindsay. She, Stephanie and I need to go into business together. Seriously.

So anywho. I'm exhausted and I'm going to get to bed a little early. Tomorrow goes like this: 8 am Vet, 9 am Dr. Wimberley, 10:30 powerpoint turn in, 12 registration, 4 presentation, 5:15 awards, 6-9 sewing lab. Tomorrow will result in a very tired Theresa.
