Finally got the blog all caught up!

It's practically a miracle that I managed to get all of my pictures up again, but today I finally did!

Today's post is really just an assortment of pictures from throughout my life today... I've been really busy lately, as I'm sure I've probably mentioned a hundred different times now, but it really is true.

Luckily, I love being busy. I try to take advantage of the time I spend every day, even if that means I'm going and hanging out with a couple of my friends after class rather than napping...

Today was not one of those days that I could just hang out though, as you can probably tell in the picture below, or by the large Starbucks drink I purchased while studying today...
First, I had 7 am practice, then I had to study for my film exam, then class, then more studying in and after class, then an online film exam that I majorly stressed over..

Film Studies might sound like an easy A, but I can tell you from personal experience.... it's not.

The test was much harder that I expected, BUT because I crammed really hard all day, I got a 94% on it. (The class average was below 70% if that gives you any idea how tough it was though!)

Anyway, then today was a SUPER nice day, and all I wanted to do after such a stressful hour of online test taking was go hiking and get some outdoorsy exercise.

Unfortunately, my friends ended up not being able to go hiking with me, so I improvised. I went down to the football field and did a little running and ab work (like the plank I'm doing in this picture).

Then, while I was there, I noticed that the club soccer guys were playing pickup on the new practice field again, so I decided to join since I wanted to be outside anyway.
It was really fun today, too. It's been a good day for me soccer-wise (I had a good practice this morning), and I guess I was just feeling extra confident when I was playing against the club boys.

Anyway, time for our final picture!

Tonight after I worked out and played, I ended up going to the library for a few hours to work on research. I have an Undergraduate Research Fellowship through the school, and I've been needing to get some solid hours in, so I did tonight.

But while I was there, I noticed how incredibly empty the library was, and I thought back to last semester during finals week when the library was suddenly packed with people I'd never seen before... Then I decided a panorama of the empty tables would look pretty cool, so there it is (it's cooler if you click on it).
