Finals and Llamas

Finals.

Something you hear about a lot right? But little did I know how difficult and stressful they actually are.

College exams are HARD and they are LONG and they all happen in the same week.

Cool.

I've been living off of pasta and dry cheerios...

And I've been taking a lot of highly attractive selfies...

And occasionally I have meltdowns on the kitchen floor...with more cheerios...

I chose to do a charcoal drawing for my art final and 

I chose a pretty snazzy picture of a llama wearing a neck scarf as my reference.

It turned out far better than I thought it would and I'm pretty psyched about it!

I finished my watercolor final as well and it also turned out better than I had hoped!

I take my last final tomorrow and I am happy and surprised to say that I survived!

Today I am almost finished with finals.

Today is a good day.

A Cappella and Ice Cream

Went and saw some buddies of mine perform a little a cappella this Friday at local ice cream shop.

They were darling.

Naturally we ate our fair share of frozen treats...

Then we went home, ate pizza, and took highly attractive pictures of ourselves.

This last week one of my FAVORITE sister missionaries to go on splits with finished her service of 18 months and left for home. Sister Yunack is such a wonderful example to me of quiet service and real love. Teaching others about Christ and his life here on earth by her side this last summer was such an opportunity and a blessing.

Today is a good day.

Random Ramblings from Ruby

I've always been a big boob about getting shots and this years flu shot was no exception.

I may or may not have brought my sister along to hold my hand...

However the nurse was a real gem and gave my a sparkly band aid like I asked so all was well in the end!

EVERYTHING here in Rexburg is icy icy icy and sometimes when friends fall down you have to take a picture before helping them up...

And even stranger still is when your friend says their back feels dry and itchy so you suggest they put some lotion on and next thing you know you've got a shirtless guy in your living room.

Sheesh. College.

And sometimes you go on farm adventures and conquer your fear of horses and actually stand kind of close to one and smile.

Then finals rolls around and everyone is losing their mind and I start looking like Gollum while getting a cereal snack.

And sometimes I make friends with the skull in science class because everyone else is busy actually taking notes.

And occasionally (all the time) I try and get a picture with Matt while he snoozes and he wakes up right before I can snap the pic every single dingle time.

College is fun. College is hard.

But today, 

Today is a good day.
