friendsgiving.

{tex, the friendsgiving mascot. he was oblivious to the sneakers.}

well. this just so happens to be the only photo i took from the friendsgiving get-together i was at earlier tonight. is this my puppy? no. did i follow him around all night trying to take pictures of him regardless? definitely. i refuse to consider what this reveals about my social skills. anyway, besides the fact that i'm horrible at capturing actual people/good times on camera...tonight was kinda amazing. it was my first official friendsgiving. i made rolo cookies {because those take four ingredients} and discovered that i could live without ever eating another brussel sprout. yikes. it was nice to be surrounded by some of the best company around, though. i've only made a handful of good friends down here {note the aforementioned social skills} but i really like this handful. they are some of the most positive people i have ever met and continuously build me up, so i feel very lucky. i'm gonna throw in the fact that i'm thankful for them in the spirit of the upcoming holiday. but seriously. they are such sweet reminders that people can be good.

real quick: on a completely unrelated note, i attempted to purchase my cap and gown from the bookstore {so exciting!} this week but they were sold out. it was yet another anticlimactic moment in this whole graduating process. i feel like this is foreshadowing my future! somehow.

*the caps and gowns are being restocked next monday, but still. not as exciting.
