March 2

My family came to visit for my sister's birthday (which is the 3rd).
We went to Red Robin. It was really nice to see them!

March 1



Lyndi, Paul, Maria, Lizzy, and I drove to Mason to visit Andrew at Dairy Hill where he works. We got free ice cream, and we got to see him in this incredible uniform.

Just look at that plaid hat and the apron with badgers on it!

February 29


We stayed in Phelps from the time it opened until we got kicked out (4:30pm-7:00pm). Phelps is the dining hall at Hope College.
We took paper and crayons so that we could keep ourselves occupied.

February 28

I sat around and watched a lot of Veronica Mars today.

February 27



I drew this today. One of our assignments in my Basic Drawing class was to draw some part of the library. I decided to venture to the fourth floor for the first time, and I discovered these amazing windows overlooking Pillar Church and part of downtown Holland.

February 26


Some of the girls from my cluster went and watched Katie at her tennis match. She did so well! And she won!

February 25


MMMMMC
I always forget to take a picture while I'm there, and end up having to take a picture as I'm leaving.

February 24

I went to the after-gathering when I got off work.

February 23



Winter Fantasia!

I had fun getting all dressed up and dancing all night with my girlfriends :)

Afterwards, we went to Lyndi's house and relaxed in the hot tub. S\I had such a good time :)

February 22



Lizzy, Allison, Maria, Katie, and I went to downtown Grand Rapids to go ice skating.

February 21


LOST.

February 20


I hung out in the radio station during Paul and Andrew's Radio Show that's pretty cool and you should listen to it.
Yep, that's really what it's called.

February 19



David Bazan (formerly of Pedro the Lion)!

February 18

Bored at work.

February 17

I worked on and finished all of these drawings.
It was a long day and a late night.

February 16



Lauren was still here :)

We watched The Holiday and I gave her a tour around campus.

February 15



My wife came to visit! :D

February 14


Valentine's Day. We had so much candy in 353!
Also, we played dream date.
Marcus's girlfriend is alien.
"My girlfriend is going to lay eggs in my stomach."

February 13

Hope's campus is gorgeous, and the sky looked beautiful today.

February 12


National Free Pancake Day at ihop!

February 11



I chose not to go skiing. It was nice to have a day to myself. I relaxed, worked on drawings, and did a lot of homework. I finished pretty much everything I had written on my calendar.

February 10


Andrew told skiing stories to try to convince everyone to go skiing the following day.

February 9



Lizzy, Maria, and I met up with Allison in Northville and we went to a pet store and played with a puppy!

February 8

Maria and Lizzy came home with me :)
We hung out in the basement and played with magnet words.
"_____ a boyfriend."

February 7

LOST CAKE!
I made a cake shaped like the island. As you can see, it's decorated with the LOST numbers, polar bears, plane wreckage, a palm tree, and Locke crawling out of the hatch.

February 6


I was studying in the Kletz, and I ran into some of my friends! I can't remember who was performing, but all of us were sitting in the back corner instant messaging one another. 'twas fun.

February 5


amarizzy in my bed.
we like to cuddle :)
also, this is one of the grossest pictures of me. ever.

February 4


MMMMMC (Monday Movie Madness in the Martha Miller Center)
Every Monday night, a group of my friends and I sneak into the Martha Miller Center auditorium and we watch an episode of Arrested Development and a movie.
It had been really foggy all day, and I took this on my way back to my dorm. The building off to the left is Martha.

February 3

Allison, Katie, Emily, Susan, and I all ordered Chinese food and watched the Superbowl before I had to go to work.

February 2


Paul, Lizzy, Maria, Andrew, and I messed around with garageband all night.

January 31


LOST party!!! We had a LOST party to celebrate the beginning of season 4. It was a great episode.

January 30


Lizzy and Allison started a hair-cutting business in the cluster, and Emily gave them some tips. Marcus's hair actually turned out really nice!

January 29


We wore our pajamas inside out and backwards in hope of a snow day...and it worked! Hope College has not had a snow day in 15 or more years, and we got one!

January 28

I snapped this picture on my webcam while I was at work. I work at the Media Services desk on the second floor of the library. I really don't do anything at work, other than occassionally sell someone a few pieces of colored paper or laminate something. It really is a nice job to have because I get so much homework done while I'm there, and I'm really thankful to have been hired.

January 27


I went to the after-gathering after work. It really is a bummer that I have to miss the Gathering every week because I have to work.

January 26


Maria, Lizzy, Laura, Natalie, and I all went to the beach and walked down the pier. The ice looked awesome, and there were some guys walking on the ice. It was scary going all the way to the end of the pier, but awesome at the same time.

January 25


Sibling Weekend! My sister and Lizzy's sister, Laura, came to visit. Even though we had a boring first night that led to us making up a ridiculous adventure, I had a lot of fun with my sister. :)

January 24


Intertube Water Polo game! This is the Supergroup in all our glory. I don't think we ever won a game, but we always had fun and played well together. And our team was just so funny and ridiculous, which made every game so much better.
...Wow that sounded so corny, but it's definitely true.

January 23

Maria, Lizzy, and I all pretended to be Harry Potter characters.

January 22


First Intertube Water Polo game! The other team was really rude, and they kept kicking us, splashing us, and flipping us over, even though that is against the rules. We made the most of it and had a lot of fun, though.

January 21



First day at my field placement, and I realized it was really close to the beach. I went and took some pictures of the lighthouse. It was kind of scary being out on the beach by myself, especially since the water was completely frozen and there was a bitter cold wind that was nearly blowing me over.

January 20


I spent most of the day working on my first English paper in college.

January 19


The night of the puzzle race! Oh my goodness. Best/Worst night ever.
We all went to the Hope/Calvin hockey game. Hope was awesome and beat Calvin by a lot (I can't remember the exact score). We then all went to the Phelps basement to eat pizza, and found two puzzles. We decided it would be a good idea to race putting the puzzles together, thinking it would only take 20-30 minutes to finish them. We ended up staying up until 3:30 am finishing the puzzles. My team won!

January 18

HUGE game of Capture the Flag in the Pine Grove. Then we all went inside and had hot chocolate in the Van Vleck basement (thanks to Lyndi and Kelly) and watched Almost Famous.
"It's all happening!!"

January 17


First night of Intertube Water Polo practice! This is in the locker room afterwards.

January 16


Caleb Hall (my friend with sweet dreads) played in the Kletz, and he was amazing.

January 15

David and Paul spent a lot of time in our room playing Wii.

January 14


Some of the Detroit Tigers came to visit Hope College!
Allison and I went to listen to their panel discussion at DeVos.

January 13

I got Lizzy this puzzle for Christmas, and we worked on it for hours.
