The last post of the semester
What do I do now that 4 months are over?
This blog is titled FourMonthsNoSuitcase because my Europe blog was 4months1suitcase, and I wanted to finish up the school year blogging. So what I have decided is just start another blog that will be for the rest of the time I decide to blog. So, after a long time of finding the right name and background to go with it, I would now like to introduce you to...
This couldn't possibly all have been in the past...
Where do I even begin? How do I start again? What am I even supposed to do? Excuse me for the next few minutes as I word-vomit all of my thoughts that I’ve been suppressing for the past 2 weeks… I am in a mental state right now unlike any I’ve been before. There has been such a crazy emotional vortex in my life in literally only the past 12 days that I was drained from any...

With all my heart
Dear Grandpa,
I just want to say I love you so much and I am so blessed to have had you in my life. You are the best grandpa ever, and I don’t want to see you go. Thank you for all of your support, love, thoughtfulness, financial help, camping trips, hugs, and kisses. I have learned so much from you and there will be a big piece of my life missing when you go. I will think of you always. I...
Schedules, plans, and happenings of late
Do you stretch involuntarily when you wake up in the morning? I do. I love stretching. I do it subconsciously!
Anyways… I’ve had a pretty exciting/eventful life since I last posted. I had a Spanish test; it rained, hailed, thundered, lightninged, winded, and sunned; I went shopping with Megs (I just decided to call my roommate Megs instead of Megan cuz it’s faster to...
Registration randomness
What has been one of the most intense moments of your life? I’m not saying it was THE most intense moment, but my heart was still racing! What was this moment, you ask? Well… today at 4:20 I was preparing to register for my classes next semester. I had deliberately planned out my schedule with my advisor and also my mom (who is the best advisor in the world, btw) and had decided on a...
I wore yellow socks today
What is the strangest thing you’ve ever done? I’m pretty sure my answer to this question is painting someone’s armpits pink with my bare hands. Yup! Definitely checking that off my bucket list!
Last week was pretty crazy. I had a lot of rehearsals for Spring Sing, a 3-hour critique on the sophomore art show, a big New Testament test, a meeting with a professor, and the normal...

What is the longest time you have gone without showering? Last week, I went over 180 hours without a single drop of water to wash my head. It was gross. I felt really nasty by the end, but can I just say, thank goodness for dry shampoo.
Normally I run everyday and then take a shower after, so not having a daily run and a daily shower was quite an adventure, but it was all the same, an amazing...
Touching base
Has it really been almost a month since I last posted? Wowzers!! Well, I have been quite busy to be sure. Not a crazy amount of homework or tests, but all Art majors and minors have to submit a sophomore project. This has been my life for the past month. I’ve spent around 70 hours on this thing, and I am proud to announce that it is done!!!! It’s such a relief and I’m so glad I...

What’s the prettiest sunset you’ve ever seen? Tonight’s could definitely be a contestant. I’m sitting at my desk, doing something, and I glance up and see a beautiful purple sky with bright pink/orange clouds across it. Stunning! If I weren’t a human, I’d want to be a sunset =)
If only I were at the art building cuz it has the best view of sunsets ever. But I...
Pricing-guns
Have you ever stepped on a crunchy leaf in the fall and were like, “Yes!” out of excitement of the satisfying crunchy-leaf feeling? When I am running and there are a lot of leaves on the ground, I always do my best to step on all of them. I’m sure I look like a freak, running with a really long stride here, and a bunch of tiny strides there….but it’s worth it when I...
What is your method of procrastination? Is it cleaning things that didn’t seem important for the past 3 weeks, but now as you need to study for the test tomorrow, you realize you can’t think unless your room is clean? That’s what I do…that or roll (on my foam roller) or eat powerberries, rationalizing it by telling myself that I can’t think with a sore back or a...

Laundry and butterflies on a Saturday morning
Two embarrassing short stories that happened to me before it was 10 this morning:
1. I screamed on the way to breakfast when a vicious butterfly tried to bomb dive me. I don’t think anyone other than Jess heard my high-pitched outburst, but it was still embarrassing since I also sorta crouched and hid behind her…..
2. It’s been 4 weeks since I school started and add a couple...
Have a beautiful day
What is something you’ve done in your life that you are super proud of? I didn’t get to run very much in Europe or Israel, so by the end of last semester, I was craving it as much as I crave powerberries. True story. The first thing I did as soon as I got off the plane and parked at my house was change clothes and go for run. Talk about jet lag =) well ever since that day, I have been...

Just a spoonful of powerberries make the fish oil...
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what food would it be?
I have thought long and hard about this one and I have decided on Powerberries that Trader Joe’s sell. I seriously would have no trouble living life on those alone. They are my favorite food. It has plenty of antioxidants and good berry juices and — above all — dark chocolate. If I had a boyfriend...
4 score and 7 years ago...
What will you be doing in 11 months from now? I realize technically it’s the 26th, but again when I woke up today it was the 25th. So I decided to start each blog with a question that may or may not have anything to do with what I write next. Because honesty, I don’t know what I’m writing next. I simply post every thought that comes into my head while this page is open. But it...

PE lessons in Spanish
Professor: Jenny! You bring that thing to class everyday! What is it?!
Jenny: It's my foam-roller for Personal Conditioning
Professor: What does it do?
Jenny: You roll over it and it stretches your muscles
Professor: Oh so it's like a torture device?!
What am I really saying?
This part of the blog can be seen by Facebook since I have tumblr and the book of faces linked together, so I’m writing gibberish until I think people can’t see what I’m really writing about tonight. It’s not that I don’t want them to see, but if they want to see, they can click on it, otherwise they don’t get the pleasure of reading my mind. Ok. I think...
If only you knew...
Well, today was sorta uneventful, but awesome yet the same. Other than my alarm not going off and almost being late to class, Spanish was alright. My teacher is funny cuz she thinks she’s funny, so I laugh. At her. Not with her, but who can tell the difference =) but seriously, she’s super sweet and is trying so hard to learn all out names and get us to know each others’ names....
"What song every time you enter a room?"
My song….

Start right at 0:53!!!!!
"What song every time you enter a room?"
I think I would like the song “When The Saint’s Come Marching In” every time i walk into a room.
Q&A
So yesterday I asked the question of which song you would have play every time you entered a room. A few people have sent in their answers and I think they are great. I will be posting them after I finish writing this. I also wrote this question on a white board of my suite mate’s door and someone responded with, “I’m too sexy for my clothes.” It made me laugh. If you have...

Catch (up with) me if you can!
I realize it’s been a while since my last post, and I apologize.i have done a lot this weekend and have had a lot of thoughts, so you might want to grab some chocolate, put on your stretchy pants, and get comfy before you start this venture.
I don’t remember which day I did what…maybe this is why weekends are only supposed to be two days; if you didn’t do it today, you...

Check that off the list...
I’m pretty tired, but I have a few things that must be said. Today I had 3 two-hour classes and in all of them, something interesting happened. The last class, design 2, did not have too much excitement other than the fact we got out early to see the opening of the campus art gallery…which wasn’t the greatest. It was a strange to say the least. I’m glad I’m working in...
Halfway through the week!
Today was eventful for sure. It is the second day of the MWF schedule, so I got it figured out. Sleep in late, roll out of bed and get dressed, go speak some Spanish, go to chapel, go get fit (aka really sore) in Personal Conditioning, go run, shower, eat lunch go to work. Did i mention I got a job?! Yeah! I work in the campus bookstore. It’s so much fun so far. I have a really nice boss...
It starts....
Blog post four 1/9/12
Well today was the first day of classes. I woke up early to go to breakfast which is in the middle of campus and realized my first class is on lower campus, just a few feet away from my dorm room.
So change number one for Monday/ Wednesday/Friday schedule: have breakfast in room, thus allowing more sleeping in time.
My first class was Spanish one. It’s in an upstairs...
Yeah man!
Blog post three 1/7/12
Well this is weird. I’m sitting on my new bed in my new room with a new roommate, getting settled for a new semester. I got to school around 12:30 and my parents helped me unload and get organized. Then they left and I was all alone. It felt really weird. If there were going to be a time for homesickness,it could have been there, but I think maybe 15 minutes later,...
My day and Avatar
“You aren’t in Kansas anymore.” I’m watching Avatar as I type this, so there may be interjections and/or jumbleness throughout. Now I am not necessarily the biggest fan of the movie, but it is so well done; how could I resist? I love a movie that can stimulate my brain. Bright colors and—like I said in the last post—I like weird stories.
Anyways, that’s...
New Year; New Blog
Well hello 2012. I do not know what to think of you. It’s barely one in the morning here in california, and so far you haven’t been very promising. A fellow from the trip is a missionary kid in Japan and he said his start of 2012 is with a 7.0 earthquake. I don’t know anymore than that since, after reading his facebook status and making a mental note to research it later,...
