This week in Mackenzie's life....

So many pictures today!! Going to be heavy on these because I need to get ready to head to honors soon for study time. :) 

I recently entered the Administration building for the first time. It's gorgeous! Columns, portraits, thick rugs and tiles.... Good to know my tuition is going towards something nice! :-)

A surprise stein that came in the mail for me!!! You can't REALLY use it to drink from but it's become a second home for all of my miscellaneous pencils and pens.  

After running out of coffee creamer (I go through it so fast!! Going to buy two bottles next time) and being too lazy to run to Kroger, this week I got a few frappes from Starbucks. They. Were. So. Good. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my own coffee, but this inspires me to make my own frappes! I DO have a blender...

Candid photo of Connor and I.... The couch at honors is notorious for pulling in sleepy college students and causing unplanned naps. It definitely hasn't happened to me, though, because I'm WAY too much of a responsible adult to let something like that get to me.

For this year's Anti-Valentine's Day party I baked two cakes (German Chocolate and Lemon) for the twins who didn't get cake on their birthday--- and I used the mustache pan!! It's remarkably easy to use and clean and, as you can see, makes a great mustache.

A picture from the party... Spin the bottle truth-or-dare type of thing. It was complicated, but SO SO fun. It's inspired an event in the future!

The remnants of our angry (single) bird pinata. There to remain for all eternity, smashed to bits by angry college students...

AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, volunteering! The event is called Wordsmith and it's a writing competition for kids 7th-12th grade. This year's theme was hunka hunka word-in-love. Yeah, I wore the onesie. It's my go-to thing to wear when I need to act crazy. :-)

Far away in the distance, a lone high school student climbs a tree. For what purpose does he climb? What sent him up into the wood? Was it for glory? For fame? Or a place on this blog?

And finally, after a morning of volunteering, dinner with Morgan at Mellow Mushroom.

All-in-all I can say it was a pretty great week. Besides having trouble sleeping (working on that) and an application due (really working on that) and several tests next week (you get the idea), it's been pretty great. Next week is our second annual Murder Mystery Party that I'm helping two dumplings plan. They're doing a GREAT job! So proud of my dumplings. Another one is planning homecoming activities-- he just picked up the packet and starting working out all the details himself! Fabulous students. :-)

What else is new? I've been harping on the management at the apartment to get the internet fixed (it's been almost a month since the initial email and LET ME TELL YOU sparks are about to fly!) and I'm GOING to harp on them about leaving an amazon package right outside my apartment door. Just on the ground for anyone to take! Augh! I mean, they have keys to the apartments, right? Why not just open it up and toss it in???? I didn't even get an email to TELL me I had a package!! Pardon while I rip ALL of my hair out.

Also, there's a winter storm coming. It's name is Neptune, apparently, and when I checked the temperature outside it was around 28. Tonight and Monday it's going to rain, And Monday afternoon snow/ice, and then it's going to get down to 16 tomorrow. University of Memphis is notorious for not closing school, but I hope it does cause this ice is gonna be crazy.

Okay, gotta get ready to go soon! :-)
