Back to school!

Well, senior year has officially begun! And I have to say, I think it's going to be good. I've now had every class once, and although all we've really done is gone over the syllabuses (syllabi?), they all seem at least somewhat interesting. This semester's courses include: History of American Sport; Medical Terminology; Stereotyping and Prejudice; Food, Culture, and Health; Neuroscience of Movement; and some research on gait (specifically in older adults). All my professors seem very nice (My American sport prof spent most of class talking about goats and throwing chalk at people that fell asleep hahaha) and the coursework doesn't seem like it's going to be unbearable. Yep, I think it's going to be a good semester!

I've also now had some time and help decorating my apartment a little more. We've got stuff on the walls now!

Found a curtain rod at Wal-mart for 2 dollars and tied these curtains back with adorable sunflower napkin rings found on sale at Pier1! The mirror is also from Pier1 (on clearance haha)

My absolute favorite part of my room now is these adorable wall boxes my amazing boyfriend made for me over the summer out of some old pallets! So simple and cute and great for some extra storage of little things! Love them!! (for some more ways to get crafty with pallets click here!)

And can't forget our little kitchen! We got fancy and put place settings on the bar to make it cute, and those heart baskets on the wall were a steal at a flea market ($3!!)

I'm totally digging this whole apartment-living thing! It's so nice having my own space and getting to decorate and making my own food and everything! Love love love it!

Now I actually have to get started on some class readings, but before I go I just have to show off this find:

How cute is this vintage Purdue bear sweatshirt??? Got it at a yard sale a couple houses down from Patrick on Sunday for $5!  Hahah it fits, but I can't decide if I want to keep it a sweatshirt or turn it into a cute throw pillow...either way, super excited about this!

And the homework begins...
