falling colder

it has been getting colder lately!! i'm so excited because i love fall & winter. but, i should take advantage of the non rainy weather & go on a picnic (like this one below! i'm sure you've seen it around the blogosphere before...). 

i made the journey to visit my parents this weekend. right when i arrived in town, my mom took me to have sushi at our favorite place : ) 

i know i've been saying that i will have photos of my apartment soon, & i will! but probably not until the end of next week. school is getting really stressful right now! i've decided on my thesis topic & have started researching. i have a meeting with my advisor on tuesday to turn in some of my work. eeeek! i'll share my thesis with you all eventually! it's actually quite exciting stuff : )

anyways, i think i'm going thrifting later today! i'll post if i find any thing : )

p.s. how are you all liking the new blogging format? i kind of like it : )

replies:

micaela: ok good! i'm excited to start reading it. although, i'm not sure when that will be, as i have so much school reading to do!

sarah~mechelle: any good new books? : )

liska cole: ooo! i'll have to see the movie after i read the book too. although, i don't really like alec baldwin...haha. haven't seen him in 30rock though! & i think i gave you my tumblr (but i can't remember if i did! so, here it is: linaheart.tumblr.com

make it easy: can't wait for you to show photos of your soon to be new city!!
