lazy days

My friend from home got in today :) It has been laid back, we walked along the beach and ate mac n cheese in the front yard. I love lazy days! Off to work in a bit in the Communication Studies department!

The cute little signs on the alleys by my house :)

USD = one big PASSION PIT

Passion Pit at USD? Yes, that's what happened last night! After they opened for Muse, the drummer came on over to play an hour long set for us. It was INSANE.

EVERYONE...don't panic! The decapitated statue below has been re-headed thanks to the lovely maintenance people in Camino/Founders! This decapitation happened about 2 weeks ago, and yesterday, the head magically reappeared. Not the greatest thing to do to a religious statue, but whoever did it had SKILL.

Finally organizing my school life into a binder. I am now in charge of putting together a recruitment video for my sorority, I am doing a video blog for a final project, filming some of my life here in my last semester, and I have my student film project to complete. Boy, am I going to get use out of my camera! I might wear it out!

Today was my first day where I didn't have to be on campus until 2 for work. It was glorious because I got to celebrate my friend's birthday last night AND sleep in AND get some work done this morning.

Now I am here, always running into people I know and love. And the department I work in (Communication Studies) is fabulous! I am solidifying some plans for Sundance Film Festival, and things just continue to get better!

Sideways

Sooooo

Yesterday (Saturday) was another amazing day. Let's just face it, life where I'm at right now is like cloud 9. I, of course, am loving every second of it, but I know there is a cloud 10, cloud 11, etc. etc.

A few people crashed at the beach house Friday night, and after my sister and I took them back to their prospective homes, we went to the store. WHOOT gotta love the store! Then, we got to lay out for awhile, watch a surf competition at the beach, the usual...

Made our way to the football game for a bit (we ended up losing :( ). But we only stayed for a bit because our boy band weekend 2.0 (it happened freshman year as well) had yet to be completed!

That's right, Hanson was in town last night! Hanson concert #7 was attended last night! It was just as magical as every one before...oooooo

The following are some pics from the life and times of Erin Schneider on Saturday Sept 18 :)

Isaac's head...their tour banner

sideways football field...sorry guys, it wouldn't turn! grrrrr

As always, please send me any questions you may have!

Pleasant

Forecast today: 68ish and pleasantly overcast

I love having a class schedule Monday-Wednesday! And I work half day on Thursday, then 3 1/2 days FREEEEEEE to live spontaneously and at the BEACH. I had a Sundance Film Festival class meeting today, as USD is the ONLY school that offers a class there! I cannot wait, and it is in JANUARY.

JoBros tonight at Cricket Wireless! Love all the venues nearby!

99 days til CHRISTMAS

Today, I am sharing with you the "Hot or Not" section of today's USD Vista Newspaper. I love when home (KC) gets mixed in! It's a small world after all!
Here is a still of the Drake performance at the VMAs. The circled person is the back of my head. Isn't it ridiculous? Lol

MTV VMAS

It took me a couple days to recover, but. . .I was at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards! I got to stand in the pit next to all the action with two of my guy friends and a ton of my favorite celebrities! Unfortunately, no cell phones or cameras were allowed (boo) but I did get a picture of my bracelet :)

If only I was 21, this wrist band would have gotten me into the afterparties...sigh

Today

Hey all!

New year, an even better me (well, at least from my perspective)! This summer was great because it was busy busy busy, but also very self-fulfilling and life-changing (as every day is!) I can't believe it, but this is my LAST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE! I'm hoping that throughout the year I can not only provide you with the best of college, but also tips for surviving college years, graduation, and job hunts! I would like to do a picture-a-day blog, a bit different than before! I want to have this as not only something you can check out, but something to help me remember some of the best times of my life thus far!

This semester, I only have class Monday-Wednesday! I LOVE my scheduling abilities! If anyone ever wants help figuring out their schedule, come to me! Today, I am updating from work in the Communication Studies office, Camino 126! Come visit me!

Sometimes, I will post more pictures, but mainly it's a goal of mine to take a picture-a-day in the life of me :)

Today's picture comes straight from the beach at about 4 pm yesterday. I am living down on Mission Beach this semester, and wanted to capture the Belmont Park area from the perspective of the ocean. I plan on going to the beach after work today as well. And on days I haven't been able to make it to the beach, I can always see it from campus. If you attend USD, you will be able to appreciate this gift every day. Enjoy :)
