I've Been Nominated!!! Twice!!!

So today is Monday. Which means I have 9 hours of class. Which for the record, is a TON of learning. I do not look forward to Mondays. But two very special girls made this Monday amazing. Morgan at Morgan's Blog and Hayley at Victorious Heroine both nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award (VBA). I am so flattered. Both of you made my Monday SO much better. So thank you. You guys make me smile so much.

This award requires some things from me. First I am going to nominate 5 blogs for the Vesatile Blogger Award. Then I will tell you guys 7 more facts about me!

Back To School

This week has been busy, I started classes last Friday, had Andrew's family reunion on Saturday, My church's picnic on Sunday and then classes again.

Surprising, I haven't gotten too stressed out. I am feeling a little stress, but I think I'm doing really well at getting things done early. I'm pretty proud of myself.

This semester I have Coop class, Human Impact on the Environment, Structure and Application of Microcomputers, Software Design 3 and Object Oriented Programming. So far, I'm really liking most of my classes. However, I am a little upset with the University. They took away my study space. So now I need to go find a new area that will be quiet, not crowded and have desks. This is surprisingly difficult. The library seems to always be full and the other places on campus are too loud.

I'm in a pickle. But not actually, Being inside a pickle would probably be pretty messy. And Sticky...

Anyways, I just thought I would let you guys know whats going on with me lately.

Do you have any suggestions for a study space?

Productive Day

Yesterday was a really productive day for me. I made two scarves and a pencil case. The scarves were made using arm knitting. It was actually so much fun and they came together really quickly! I highly recoment you try it. You can find the tutorial here.

The finished product:

I also made a pencil case from a TOMS flag that I got with my shoes. I got the idea from here.

Here is the finished product:

Current Favourites

Hey everyone! This week is really weird for me. I don't start school until Friday. And it seems like almost everyone else my age has started school today, So I'm stuck waiting for school to start for the next few days. It's really weird. This semester will hopefully bring new challenges and opportunities to learn more about myself and get myself closer to getting my degree. I'm excited and nervous. Here are my current favourites for this week:

Camp Cherith Slipper Socks

Andrew got me these while he was at camp and it is just getting cold enough for me to wear them. They are super cozy and comfortable. I love them.

I got a new phone. It's a blackberry Z10. I absolutely love it!

Bike Basket

Remember that cool fabric I got from walmart? I made something with it! I found this project on pinterest a long time ago and I finally made it! It was so easy and it didn't take long at all! I'm really happy with how it turned out. You can find the tutorial here.
