Springtime, I love you

Bloomin' Tulips it's springtime! This past weekend there was a miraculous thunderstorm. Sara and I went out onto the porch. I love the smell of thunderstorms. I'm getting more stressed everyday thinking about all the homework that needs to get done. It will get done, I just need chunk of time. 10 or 15 minutes breaks in between jobs, class, commutes, etc. doesn't cut it. It seems that I need a long time to get into the grove of a homework project. A N Y W A Y S


I had a great class in Camp Administration and Governance. A director from a camp in Ohio that ABC is connected to was a special speaker for the class and talked about marketing. I have many new incites and excitements in camping's marketing world. What he said also inspired me to get more ambitious and driven with my future. I've been thinking about starting some sort of amazon, ebay, or etsy account and sell some of the things I find thrifting or create myself. I'm gonna due it and I'm gonna write it out in a plan that I can see. Goals goals goals. Mr. Pritt is all about the goals and he gets tons of useful stuff done.

Everything Salad on a Tuesday...

Today after class and work I came back and chopped up vegetables for a BII Everything Salad. You see, today is Meredith's 21st birthday. (Meredith is currently my roommate and old housemate of Israel). She drove back to WV from PA and started at Berkshire's. We were planning on going to Starbucks afterward but it was a busy night so we came back to the apartment. Funfetti cake with polka dots and espresso shots.



Sara, my Signing cousin, came out to WV to visit. We went on a 1.6 mile hike that ended up being 4 miles (we got lost). Ate a lot. KP's Mexican Restaurant deserved a finger down the throat, but that's a long story that's really only interesting to the people that were involved...

Tonight was the Spring 2010 ABC Coffee House. It was the best one yet. Everything was funny, well except for the freshman skit. . . It was a little off. Now I'm not going to able to sleep because I had the Pike's Place brew. Rats!

Israel, how I miss you...

Today at lunch I talked with an ABC student who is going to Israel with BII next year. I was so excited and hope I didn't scare the poor girl! It makes me reminisce about my fantastic time with BII. I hoping, actually, this summer that there will be time when all the girls from my year will be able to get together for a reunion!


I have recently required a whole year's worth of the magazine House Beautiful. My current interest is home decorating by using restored thrift finds! House Beautiful has a plethora of ideas in it. If you get the chance check it out!

Johnson/Dunkerton wedding planning...

I've been helping my friend Lisa plan her wedding. Right now we are searching for wedding cake toppers. I ran across these on Etsy. I want them for my sister's (but she is not getting married, but you know "some day").

Also I am graduating in 43 days! Let me say it again, 43 days. Crazy, my college career is almost over. Well, sometime in the future I am going to get a master in...I don't exactly know yet but I want it to be some type of Jewish/Israel studies.
