Valentine's Day

This past weekend was Valentine's Day weekend. My boyfriend and I headed down to Greenville to go eat at P.F. Changs and then just go hang around downtown. Like I've said before, I love going down to Greenville. Everything was great about the night except for the little bit of traffic. And when I say a little bit, I mean A LOT! It was pretty bad. I felt like it was Christmas shopping time again and everyone was driving crazy and trying to get places. But besides that it was a great night. We ate and then went and walked around downtown and got some Starbucks. It was a fun little night and even though there was a lot of traffic, it was worth it!

Getting It All Together

So this past week has been very busy for me. I'm starting to realize I only have about 2 1/2 months left until all of my pictures for photography are due. It's starting to get a little stressful. I have to plan out all of my portraits that I'm going to be doing, and those will be shown in my Senior show in April. It is pretty overwhelming to think about but I know it has to be done. This coming week we're having an art show on campus and we are required as photography students to submit photos. I've been struggling with what I want to submit, but I think I finally figured out what I'm going to do. Back in the fall I took pictures at a GRITS concert here on campus and I'm going to submit a few of those. I know that right now everything seems kind of stressful, but it will be worth all the hard work in the end.

Miss Gardner-Webb Pageant

This past weekend we had the annual Miss Gardner-Webb Pageant. We have one every year in Dover Theater over in the LYCC. It is always pretty entertaining and I've gone every year that I've attended here. There were 12 contestants up for the crown. A bunch of students come out to support the girls and some even make signs and hold them up during the time that certain girl is out on the stage. I thought that this year was a lot better than previous years, it ran a lot smoother and I thought the set was prettier. At the end of the night one lucky girl is crowned Miss Gardner-Webb and will have that title for an entire year!

Making Cookies!

The other night some friends came over to my apartment and made cookies! It was a lot of fun having people over and just hanging out with everyone. The way the apartments are set up, there are four bedrooms, a main living room area, and a kitchen. There is also a laundry room in each of the University Apartments (a wonderful feature). My roommates and I had 3 people over. One of them is my friend Brittany. This was her last time at Gardner-Webb because she joined the Peace Corps and since that time has gone to Rwanda. This was a really great time for us all to be able to get together and fellowship with Brittany before she left. We made a couple hundred chocolate chip cookies for one of the sports teams on campus, and we just had a great time hanging out with each other. All in all, it was yet another fun night on the campus of Gardner-Webb. Have a great week everyone!
