Welcome to the Countryside!: It's been too long!

I stopped blogging for about a month because I obviously just got so busy! Now, I along with thousands of other Michigan State University students, are in the midst of finals week. I feel like I want to die, but I just keep telling myself...."5 more days, 4 more days..."

Nothing much has really happened in the past month though. I went home to work the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere at Emagine movie theatre (otherwise known as my place of employment). It was crazy and hectic all weekend. We broke our ticket record. Totally insane.

Whenever I go home, I work a lot. I've been realizing this more and more as the semester has gone on. Mostly because I miss spending time with my family. Furthermore, employees are require to work 2 out of the 4 major holiday's. These are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. It's a hassle, but hey...I like to make money. It's a necessity.

In other news, I am completely obsessed and in love with a new YouTuber whom I discovered a few weeks ago. Her name is Nikki Phillippi. Her videos are all about fashion, hair, makeup...very girly stuff but I love it! I've gotten some really great hair and makeup ideas from her. Right now, Nikki, her husband Dan and their two ADORABLE puppies, Zoe and Bowser, are doing Vlogmas. Vlogmas is a video blog that they do every day in December. They just vlog what they did that day, who they saw and where they went. Sound kinda boring, but I really like watching them. Therefore, if you want to check out Nikki's YouTube channel, you should!!! Just type in Nikki Phillippi and all of her videos will come up.

My best friend and I celebrated her 19th birthday in November. We had quite the set up of food! Picture below...

Also, on Thanksgiving Day, my Dad and I go to see the parade in downtown Detroit and then to the Lions game. The parade was so cute and awesome. Pictures are down below. The Lions almost had the game but due to some suckish referee calls, we lost by three points :(((((

The last piece of news that I have is that this past weekend, I went home to see my high school's production of Guys and Dolls. When I was in high school, I was an actor, the head of hair and makeup, and the assistant director of all of the plays and musicals. So going back and seeing my theatre babies (my name for all of the kids still in high school) perform a show was really awesome. They sold out the last two shows which has never happened in the history of my high school. The show was really really great and I was so proud of all of my kids! Picture below.

Other than those things, I am just up to my ears in work, papers, and studying for exams. In fact, I'm going to go write a paper right now! Blog ya later!

Peace,
