If

IF I had a working camera I would:

1. Show you the really cool map I bought today

2. Show you how cool my desk is

3. Show you the fisherman I am drawing

4. Show you my newly decorated room/apartment

5. Probably document my undocumented life right now

but these are only if's. Numbers 1-5 are alll left up to your imagination.

(Some whales for a howtoworkrobots/graphic design class I am taking)

Who knew?

That a bear could pull off mint green or a walrus could pull off a coral?

Happy school year!

I can

no longer hide my infatuation.

Stolen from Geninne's Art Blog..one of my favorites!

A embarrassing fact:

Since I turned 20 I feel like my life is zooming past me. But oh man have I witnessed some beautiful things. I almost cannot comprehend what I experienced these past couple of years and how amazingly lucky I am. I am still in awe at the world and I cannot wait for my eyes to explore more beauty that they have never before seen.

(this picture being one of them! A photo I snapped at the Berlin Zoo)

San Diego

So I am moving back down to San Diego for school and this weekend I made the first trip of two down south. My old furniture from San Francisco and my wonderful chair filled up my entire car and my mom and I made the 9 hour journey down and back...

Seriously..thats just ridiculous

Being tortoises on the 5. With a speedy 0 miles per hour..

My new room! Ignore the lack of decoration

Our living room

Living room 2

This made the drive a little more worth while.

Turkey, gorgonzola, sun dried tomatoes on fresh Rosemary bread

Hopefullllllly this trip makes the next drive down a little easier..hopefully.
