First of all, Rachel is a genius. Because we're going to San Francisco and feel a little guilty about spending our savings on a random trip, we decided we need to earn some extra cash. She got an offer of money to knit a guy in her building a headband, and decided to extend that offer to people around campus. We put up posts on facebook for all the campus pages and such, and crossed our fingers we'd get a couple people willing to donate to our cause. So guess what happened? We got a bunch of people interested! Being the smart people that we are, we have a spread sheet of orders including color, item, and name of the person, all organized by when they ordered. It's pretty exciting that we're raising money by knitting things for people, and by the time we're done we'll have around $300 (based on the suggested donations)! And we only spent about $20 in supplies so far, so I'm thinking we're doing pretty well :)
The first official sold item :)
I had to try it on to make sure it looked okay!
Between our new business and planning our trip, Rachel and I saw each other every day for almost 2 weeks! I'm glad we met at summerstart, she is turning out to be a really good friend :)
Also, my roommate and I had this thing about the windows. My bed was basically in front of them, and she wanted access to them. It was an issue that we kind of pushed to the back of our minds until this last week. I decided to be the best roomie ever and movie things around to give her access to the windows :)
This was before I cleaned up all my mess, haha.
For those of you who didn't see how it was before (because being the intelligent honors student I am, I forgot to take before pictures), my bed was where my desk is now, my wardrobe in the corner my bed is in, and my desk where my wardrobe is. Make sense? If not, NBD (no big deal).
You get the idea.
I also had another job interview for an afterschool nanny position! The interview went really well and the family seemed to like me. I'm hoping to hear back soon!
And finally, my weekend (because it has become tradition in these blogs!). After an average week (psych test on Monday, regular classes, Spanish test on Friday), the weekend was a nice break! Rachel and Theresa both went to the equestrian competition this weekend to show, so I hung out with Paulina! We spent Friday night watching Easy A and talking about the meaning of life and whatnot, Saturday we went to the mall and then watched Harry Potter # part 2 with her building (sitting next to a vent blowing cold air- not cool) and we had a sleepover! And today we went to brunch and then parted ways, because I actually needed to get some homework done. I spent my afternoon reading The Aeneid for honors, and now I'm blogging as I wait for Theresa to return!
This is what I had for brunch. I ordered eggs, and they gave me SO MUCH FOOD.
I couldn't finish it.
And they also had banana bread! It was a good morning. :)
I'm still loving college life, but I'm excited to go home for Thanksgiving and see family! It'll be a good break from being in Bellingham. I'm sure I'll have homework to do, so not really a break from school unfortunately.... But the quarter is almost done, the end is in sight!
I leave you with these photos of campus, taken spontaneously.
Fall is such a lovely season, even as it's slowly but surely transitioning to winter.
