This will probably not be surprising to most of you, but I LOVE music. So much.

I love to go to concerts and used to go to concerts all the time.

But I kind of stopped. And then something happened.

My friend Mills was on campus one day, just minding her own business

when she was approached by a man

who said something about how he knew this was weird, but he wasn't creepy, and he had 2 extra tickets to the Rooney concert. that night. Did she want to go?

Of course she said yes–as any sane person would–and started looking for another friend to join her on this adventure

Luckily I was close enough to the top of the list, and none of the people ahead of me could go.

So yes, I got to see Rooney (who I have loved ever since I found out this man was the lead singer so many years ago) in concert, for free.

It was AMAZING

They played at Kilby Court, which is essentially a shed in someones backyard. Super small. We weren't right in the front, but at Kilby you don't have to be in the front to have a good spot.
Also, Eisley opened for them, and turns out I really really like them as well. Fate.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Rooney

The man on the left is their new bass player and he was so precious. and real good on the bass.

Totally feeling it

This was a man standing next to us that was probably in his 40s and was there by himself and totally loving Rooney. He also had ear plugs in and would take them out to sing along to certain songs.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the boys we went with were not weird and it actually turned out to be a fun evening. Turns out one of the guys is friends with a friend of mine from high school so we met up with her after the concert. All in all, it was a very successful evening.

I lied, I know nothing about being an art student

this is subject to change at any moment

and then change back again

yikes

As I was telling my roommate Emily yesterday

I FINALLY have figured out how to be an art student

It was hard and time consuming to figure it out, but I think I finally got it

I mostly understand what my teachers are asking for

and I am able to make up what I don't understand

It is a really great feeling

pictures of my super awesome projects to come

I have never wanted to buy a wedding dress as badly as I did when I saw THIS beauty

please disregard the fact that it is $2,600

I will definitely be drawing from that site for inspiration when I do start planning my wedding

(which is not going to be for a VERY long time)

I am probably going to have an internship this summer

at the HBLL

which will help jumpstart my career as a librarian

what's that, you didn't know I wanted to be a librarian?

surprise!

and I am supposed to take the GRE this summer, so I can get into school to be a librarian

who even wants to get a masters anyway?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I went to the cotton shop yesterday

thanks to my mom I could live in a fabric store

and never want to leave

especially if I had unlimited funds

I got some REALLY cute material for some presents I am planning on making

and some awesome green jewel things for super hot earrings

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am REALLY REALLY loving this band and especially this song right now...

REALLY loving this song right now

So maybe I am considering going back this year

Seriously loving this website right now

now if only I had someone to get me this, this, or this for valentine's day

In honor of it looking like this

I'm probably not going to make it to my first class

I'm pretty sure other places would delay/cancel school for this kind of weather

as it is IMPOSSIBLE to function as a normal human outside of my house on a day like today

Remember when they let school out for a half day last Thanksgiving

for the "Storm of the Year"

and nothing happened?

and now it is too cold to breathe when I walk outside

and only wearing the hide of an animal would be enough to keep me warm

and I have to walk to school?

what's the deal BYU?
