I just can’t stay away [The screw tents version]

So remember that one time when I said I wasn’t going to blog for at least a week and that was last Thursday and now it’s the next Wednesday? Well, either way, BLOG! Read More…

First Impressions

I know I’m not supposed to be blogging for a week or so, but I really had to talk about this somewhere. So I just moved into the dorms and tonight is my first night sleeping in them. I opted out of taking a shower at the hotel where my mom is tonight (she drives home tomorrow morning) because, as I said, “I have to get used to communal showers sometime.”

I’ve lived in dorms for periods of time before. I can do communal bathrooms. No biggie. But apparently, my college doesn’t believe in privacy, or even simple conveniences. Which kind of sucks.

You know how showers have the shower part of them, then that little room right outside where you can change and keep your stuff dry? Yeah, Pacific University doesn’t have that. So you have to pile your clothes outside of the shower, in addition to all of your other crap besides soap (which they have a place for in the actual shower), and then awkwardly reach around the curtain to retrieve them as needed.

This is not gonna work out very well. It was awkward when I was alone in the bathroom. I’m a little bit afraid of what will happen when there are fifteen other girls.

Also, my room is about as far away from the girl’s bathroom as possible. Seriously, I have to walk halfway around the building. I might just start using the boy’s bathroom.

The video is different from the blog. FYI.

Wow. An entire year of blogging has come to an end. One whole YEAR. I will be the first to admit that my finishing this project was a long shot. But I did it. I blogged every day from August 19, 2009-August 19th, 2010. There were bumps along the way, weeks that I forgot to post, but I caught up every time. So I think before I tell you the one thing I learned about myself, I’ll recognize this incredible accomplishment. I don’t finish big things like this very often. I used to fail at posting once a week. Read More…

This is the second to last day of Bri 2.0. Thank you, everyone. Read More…

This is the last week of Bri 2.0. Wowzers.

1. Friends. There has been a lot of change in the past year, but there are some people that have remained loyally constant, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

2. Blogging. Surprisingly, about three or so months ago, I started absolutely loving this project, when previously it had been an obligation rather than a pleasure. Blogging is fun.

3. Creating. Whether I’m writing a blog or book, filming a YouTube video, composing a song, or painting a picture, I’m doing what I love. No matter what happens for the rest of my life, I will be forever creating things. No one will ever take that away from me.

This is the last week of Bri 2.0. And I totally numbered something wrong at some point because it can’t be day 365 already. Whatevs. Read More…
