7.21.2018 Finished my new desk set up and I love it! I highly recommend the Ikea Skarsta adjustable hand crank stand up desk along with the Kullaberg stool. Lovely flowers were a surprise from a family friend and the peg board with it's decor was from the dollar section of target. Made the calendar in docs and if you would like a copy just message me. I finally have a way to display my cute washing tapes and my endless collection of plants. I have some bio and physics to work on today and I finish my last day at the Hut before I head to my awesome new nanny job. I'm a little iried because I went to talk to to the community college counselor about my classes and he said that all of the engineering classes won't be offered this semester because not enough people enrolled so I can take Calc III and Texas Government and maybe Spanish or Physics II again. I'll figure something out but this gives me more time for tutoring, teaching piano lessons and playing piano or my new horn and violin. Life is overall very good and I am grateful for all of the beautiful things I have and the wonderful opportunities ahead of me. I'm also really glad I decided to pick an education route that would leave me debt free as much as I love and dearly miss Purdue. I will be back for grad school some day count on that.

Rainy day study with me Hermione Granger style

Not to sound creepy but you are a hell of a lot prettier than Emma Watson.

Oh wow thank you! I grew up loving Harry Potter and Hermione was always an inspiration for me to be strong and do well in school. It always warmed me inside whenever people started coming up to me and the past few years and telling me I looked akin to Emma Watson.
