Well looky here

Hello readers...I've finally found the time to update. This time I've found is called Art History class.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Art History. I mean, hello? Art major.
But sometimes, this class....I swear. Maggie is just nuts. I love her, but she's nuts. We've been in class for about 20 minutes now...and still no art on the screen. UGH.

There are so many things I want to talk about! I'll pick a few for now:

School--Things have been incredibly busy. I'm learning so many new programs that I'll use SO much later in my life (FinalCut, InDesign, Illustrator, etc.) and I'm so happy. Most of my classes are a lot of fun, so I'm pretty pleased. It's really hard, but I'm getting by. I'm taking 19 hours, which may have been a mistake, and one of them is a night class. But it's Junior year, when am I going to have a chance to take classes ever again?
(Art History update: Finally, a piece of art. Apparently it's an old calendar page from the Renaissance, from the International Gothic period.)

The Sims2: Yes...I bought it. And several extensions packs. I'm in love. I used to play the old Sims ages and ages ago and I've been wanting to get 2 for quite some time now. My roomate (whom I love) is a big Sims addict, so I felt compelled to join her ranks. And I couldn't be happier. My families are all super adorable. I made a family with a single mom and 2 daughters all with red hair (R, it made me think of you) and they are TOO cute. I love them, :).

SPORE: I WANT IT. END OF STORY.
(Art History Update: Still on the same picture. Maggie is still talking.)


My birthday: It's on Sunday! I won't be a teenager anymore! Yay turning 20! I'm not sure what I'll be getting up to. I know my family is coming to see me on Saturday and we're going to a German restraunt, and it looks fantastic. I'm excited for presents....I might get Spore. You'll never hear from me again if this is true.

Overall, I'm a pretty happy girl. I wouldn't mind having a special male figure in my life, but that will happen in good time. I'm not forcing things like that anymore. I have enough guy friends acting as big brothers to keep me more than happy. I love my boys. They all live across the hall from me in the dorm and they are the best friends a girl could ask for. I can't believe they're all graduating this year. Sad.

(Art History Update: We've moved onto another picture. Another calendar page. They're quite pretty, actually.)

Well kids, tonight is the premiere of The Office. I'm so excited. And nervous. JAM will survive.

Rhianna, I love you. I hope this update was worth the terribly long wait. And I hope grad school is going well!!

This is Natalie...signing out. Stay tuned for updates on my upcoming radio show here on campus. In the meantime, hang out at www.bellarmineradio.com.

Till next time,
