this guy is my new hero...
it doesn't show signs of stopping...
we’ve got over a foot and it’s still pouring snow… who knows how long it’ll keep going!
my fingers are numb...
because I ran outside to photograph our first snow!! Apparently Virginia is in an official “state of emergency” because of the massive amount of snow that’s headed our way.

weekend at the Ivy League!
In celebration of finishing my finals I drove up the east cost to spend the weekend with one of my closest friends Isia, who happens to go to Princeton! as a small piece of background, I’ve known Isia since freshman year of high school (which we realized, and balked at, was EIGHT years ago.)

EXCITING news!
It is my pleasure to announce that my close friend Anne Douglas and I have just been awarded a 2010 VCU Undergraduate Research Grant!!! We submitted the proposal a few months ago and the results were announced today. I was sitting in my Physics class when I was inundated by texts telling me the good news!

Anne is a Crafts major,...
