attention! important! switching blogs!

my personal blog is wasting away and i wanted my fitblr to be my primary blog, so i switched over to a new blog!  i even reblogged EVERY SINGLE POST from this blog onto my new one so that everything will be archived in one place.

go follow me there :)

that awkward moment when you’re cooking and have to pee really badly but can’t leave the kitchen.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

i was feeling angsty and i needed a rest day from running so i decided to do some yoga.
now i am in a much better mood :)

dilemma: freeze for future smoothies or let ripen for banana bread?

dilemma: freeze for future smoothies or let ripen for banana bread?

because i was tagged

well actually my personal (kelseynoll) was tagged but i’m the same person and no one cares about my other blog haha.

1.) What would you do for a klondike bar? 

are klondike bars gluten free? i think so.  well anyways, i probably wouldn’t go too far.  i mean, they’re pretty good but definitely not a top tier dessert.

2.) Best coffee you have ever had 

i don’t… drink coffee.

3.) Proudest day?

hard to say for sure but last semester after i found out that i got an A in orgo i sprinted around my house jumping off of furniture for a good five minutes.. that was a pretty proud moment.

4.) On a scale of 1-Vanessa Excited, how pumped are you for the Olympics? 

I LOVE THE OLYMPICS. well i prefer the winter games actually but i’m still psyched… i love love love the olympics.

5.) Favorite book turned into a movie? 

harry potter, because i can’t say enough good things about the books and the movies didn’t disgrace them (as movies sometimes do).  plus i don’t see a lot of movies in general and i’ve seen all the harry potter ones multiple times.

6.) One thing that you have to do everyday? 

take my thyroid medication yeeaaaah.  also breathe.

7.) Favorite place to travel? 

anywhere new and exciting!  next semester i’m going to spain (how have i not mentioned that here?) and i’m SO PUMPED.  i seriously adore spain and i also can’t wait to go galavanting around europe while i’m there.

8.) 3 fictional/non fictional people that you would want to have dinner with

carl sagan, micah true, and dumbledore.

9.) Biggest pet peeve 

can i just say ‘my roommate?’  because she drives me crazy and i can’t think of anything better at the moment.. though it does bother me when people make really loud noises while they eat.

10.) Ever been in a car accident? 

i rear-ended someone once but all it did was crumple my license plate.  i cried and i went to school with the son of the people i hit and their car was fine so no one cared.

11.) Worst news channel? 

all of them.  i hate the news haha.. but fox is probably the worst.

——

okay technically my job is to think of 11 more questions and tag more people so maybe i’ll get around to that eventually.

i’m out in pennsylvania for the weekend visiting my dad and stepfam.  it’s like a different world out here in the middle of nowhere.  i’m waking up tomorrow to go riding with my stepmom before i head back to school to finish packing and then home again.
yesterday i went for an easy 8-miler while my dad biked beside me.  it was nice to have some company for a change :)

  • go grocery shopping at trader joe’s and a local health food store
  • cook a delicious dinner for my mom and i
  • cuddle with my dog
  • do whatever i want
  • bask in the glory of the end of the semester

hey guys.
i’m done with all my finals.
because i kicked ass on the standardized orgo exam and got exempt (!!) from the real final, which isn’t until the 9th.  and today i handed in my one take-home final and my last research paper.  so the semester is officially over for me!
i’m ready to go home but I DON’T WANNA PACK.
