I've been trusted by my future room-mate with the delicious task of decorating our dorm. 

And now that I'm actually thinking about it,

my original plan doesn't seem quite right...

I had wanted to do some sort of mustard-yellow with a nice, thick grey,

but now that just seems really sombre and a bit too trendy to actually be comfortable.

Then mom reminded me of my old dream of having a chalkboard wall,

and then I remembered of my plot to paint vintage picture frames a deep, azure blue and hang them on said chalkboard wall.

I'm totally sticking to that, because chalkboard=chalk notes, and an awesome cool chalkboard wall=awesome cool chalkboard wall full of awesome chalk notes. That just seems like too much awesome to give up. 

Of course, ours will look much cleaner. This is the aftermath of a babysitting session.

So anyway, I'm scouring design blogs for inspiration,

or, rather a funneling of inspiration because I have too much in my head for one room!

I'll probably be asking you all for input....

and if you have any suggestions or pictures I'd love, please send them!

For one, I am tired of checking my email hoping for some scholarship-related news from Stephens
and finding my email completely empty of new letters.

Also, my brain is tired, because I took the ACT today again,
and I never, ever want to see a science chart/graph ever again.
My heart has been thus broken.

Bascially,


And also these two things:




That's right.
A Box of Cupcakes. And a kitty.

What do you need?

and GAMES!

Me and Valerie killed the world in Pictionary,
we moved on to a new game.

The Rules:
1) Write down a well known phrase
2) Pass it to the next person
3) That person draws a picture depicting the phrase
4) The next person writes what he/she thinks the phrase is.

The Results:

I must say the turd one is my favorite.
