Room 301

Hello again! I've been holding off on a room tour because it just didn't seem like my room yet. But after a few days of adding pictures and decorations, it finally feels like home :) The girls' dorm room is on the third floor of the Machen building. This building is over 200 years old so there are no elevators, just good old stairs.
This is the hallway
Welcome to my room!
My side of the room
I bought these little shelves at Target. They add a nice touch to the room. Can you spot Lil' Homie?
Pictures of loved ones :)
El bano
Do you like my obnoxious hot pink backpack? And yes, I do wear it to school! No shame!
My closet
This is my favorite part of the room, the chandelier. I just like it.
We have a separate study room on the same floor. Pretty nice right?
This is my study area. I have yet to study here though LOL
My library is a bit empty but I'm sure it'll get filled over the next semesters.
This is our living room
The End! I hope you enjoyed a peek into my life here. Classes have officially started this week. It's been really interesting and I actually enjoy school (it's only been 4 days so far LOL). But in all seriousness, I've been praying for a joy and desire to study. I understand that my time here isn't useless, but God-ordained. So I really want to get the most of this opportunity God has given me. To be honest, my attitude, so far, hasn't been like this. There have been lots of days crying and questioning why I'm here. It really is a daily struggle to be joyful and thankful for this season of my life. But God is good and patient with me. And his mercies are new every morning. :)

Okay, before I go. I wanted to share this story with you..of this hideous bruise! My roommates tried to teach me how to ride a bike. In the process, I ended with bruises all over my legs and butt! AND I still don't know how to ride one. MAJOR FAIL! Bikes and I are not destined to be :( Hope you enjoyed this post! See ya'll later!

Alive and Well

HALLOOO!!! I am alive and well in Philadelphia. Did you know that only people from Philadelphia are allowed to call it "Philly"? Who knew! Anyways, I am slowly adjusting to my new life here in Philadelphia and as a seminary student. I was homesick for the first couple of days and then physically sick, but overall I'm really excited to be here. I'm actually super excited to start classes but we'll see how long that lasts LOL. I will do a room tour and campus tour soooooonnn. But until then, I leave you with one of the many things in my room. Meet my super cute night light, Lil' Homie! HAHA!!! See you next time!

Goodbye California

Before
After
PHEW! I'm so glad packing is over and done with. It was definitely a challenge trying to fit my whole life into 4 suitcases. But now I'm ready. Goodbye California. Philadelphia here I come!

A Dodgeriffic Birthday!

This past Saturday was my BF Jane's 23rd birthday. Our birthday rule is that the birthday girl can do whatever she wishes. The four of us are incredibly different. For example, I chose a picnic for my birthday, Jess chose Disneyland one year, Joan always chooses drinking somewhere LOL, and Jane's is always something Dodger related. This year she was really close to choosing ATVing (thank God she didn't choose that one).

This year she chose the Dodger's game again. I am not a baseball fan... at all. But thanks to Jane, I've learned the rules of the game and the Dodgers are growing on me. But more than watching the game, I love the whole experience of the Dodger stadium...and by experience I really mean the food HAHA! The garlic fries are my absolute favorite, but then again garlic + anything would be my favorite anywhere :)
you can't forget the Dodger dogs
or the cotton candy
We've been to about 4 games and every single time the Dodgers lost. I was beginning to think that we were bad luck. But we won!!!!! Can I tell you who we beat? I have no clue HAHA but we won :)
the BFFs <3
Jane's man
HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY JANE!!!
Love you!
