2016: Day 60

I hope that you all had a merry Leap Day! May your eyes never be poked, may your hair never be pulled, and may Leap Day William turn all of your tears to candy. :)

2016: Day 59

My family came for a visit today. :)

I missed them a lot. <3

2016: Day 57 and 58

I think that Robin is a little bit obsessed with my roommate and her fiancé. They left the room for five minutes and she just waited outside, hoping for their return. 

Today was payday so I bought myself a chocolate sprinkle donut to eat in celebration. 
Treat yourself!...but, like, do it within your means.

2016: Day 56

I'm not feeling well this evening, and I bet that Girl Scout cookies aren't the answer, but I am willing to try.

Do it for science. 

2016: Day 55

I tried to take a picture to show how hard it was snowing, but I couldn't open my eyes because of how hard it was snowing. 

2016: Day 54

I tried to take a picture of some birds, but they flew away. 

2016: Day 53

Today is Cat Day in Japan. I am happy to be spending it with my best friend. <3

2016: Day 52

My headphones were missing this morning. Found them. -_-

2016: Day 51

I had a great time bowling and eating frozen yogurt with these people tonight. Thanks for agreeing to be my my picture of the day, even if Kyle looks a little skeptical. :P

2016: Day 50

Today was my first real day on the job at a new library branch. I celebrated with butterbeer. :D

2016: Day 49

I never doodled this much as an undergrad. These three hour classes can get rough, y'all. 

2016: Day 48

Unlocking locker locks is not my gift. 

Former homeschooler problems. 

2016: Day 47

Way back in 2011, I left a sweater at my friend Lucky's house. Today that sweater arrived in the mail. Reunited at last. grin emoticon 
Thank you so much for sending it, Lucky!

2016: Day 46

My workplace. :)

2016: Day 45

Jake insisted on opening his Valentine's Day present at 1:00 in the morning last night (on a technicality). He was very excited about the giant box of chocolate. I love you honey, happy cheesy-romance-love day. 

2016: Day 44

Me in my new natural state, watching The Walking Dead and eating cucumber sandwiches. 

Much happier than my previous life as an undergrad. 

2016: Day 43

In which I went grocery shopping and found this gross breakfast option. 

2016: Day 42

Hooray for the GSLIS bake sale! 

2016: Day 41

The church across the street from my school's building was offering "ashes to go" for Ash Wednesday. 

2016: Day 40

I opened my backpack on the way to class this morning to find that someone had left me a gift. Such a thoughtful kitten. 

2016: Day 39

"Bread makes you fat?!"

2016: Day 38

I took a photo of this wall of unique soda flavors, not even realizing until I got home that butter beer had been right under my nose. A return trip to the grocery store is in order. 

(For yesterday.)

2016: Day 37

I found this note at work today. Thank you kind stranger. :)

I like the idea of deserving the universe. 

2016: Day 36

I've been working on cooking more this year. This pasta bake with kale is my latest attempt, and I am especially proud of this one because I made it without a recipe. :)

2016: Day 35

My professor was in Europe last week and he brought us all back chocolates. He is very sweet. :)

2016: Day 34

I am now the owner of a Fitbit! Even the smallest size is a little bulky on my tiny wrists. But I think that it will help me to be a healthier person! 

(Thank you Jacob for the very kind gift. ❤️)

2016: Day 33

Just call me Astrid. 

And call her Blair.

(We had to choose a new name to go by as a social experiment in class.)

2016: Day 31 and 32

My snuggle-bug. ❤️

I feel like a toddler when I enter a gym. "What does this do?" "How about this button?" 

I need some lessons in adulting. 

2016: Day 30

I tried a new recipe last week and now I am completely addicted to these little cucumber sandwiches. 

(For yesterday.)
