Time to be thankful.

SOOO...i just realized i can change the color on here!!!  What's up?!!?!!?  Hahaha.  Ok.

Being at home for Thanksgiving break makes me super super happy.  I spent last night watching tv with my daddy :) and then this morning i had to go to the dentist but then mama, allison, and i enjoyed a nice lunch in beautiful downtown abbeville at the village grill.  my salad was so good but the best part was discussing the yummy food my grandmother is going to cook tomorrow!!!  there is the cutest restaurant there called windows that i am very interested in exploring further.  

I have to work from 7:30 pm to midnight tonight.  Pray for me!!!  It's a power close and i don't know if i am going to survive it.  I hope it's not too big of a deal...lol.  It won't be.  I can make everything fun and enjoyable.  Friday i have to work from 10 am to 8 pm.  I don't know how i am going to survive that other than coffee and red bull lol.  

Tomorrow-Thanksgiving!  I am so excited.  My grandmother's green beans, corn, sweet potato casserole, and roles are CALLING my name.  I have never been so anxious for a meal but after dorm life and cafeteria food, i am obsessing.  But in the morning i am going to help assemble and deliver meals on wheels to some of the elderly in my community because everyone deserves to feel loved and taken care of.  Yayyy for yummy food!

More to come later.

Big love,

Caroline.

This afternoon, my mom and I went to see the movie that I have been looking forward to for a really long time...Twilight!!!  Yayyyy.  Ok, so as I was watching the movie and thinking back on reading the book, I realized why I fell in love with the story.  First of all, Stephanie Meyer's writing was so easy to read...it felt like I was watching a movie then instead of reading.   

But the main reason has to be that this is the story that every girl dreams of happening to her.  There is not one girl I know that does not want a gorgeous guy, who is very dangerous, to love them enough to know he is dangerous for her but also love her enough to know that he would never be able to stay away.  The fact that he has to endure so much inner struggle and feel pain in order to still be with her and make sure he does not take her life shows how much he really cares for her.  Ahhh...if only.  "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..."  

Another amazing thing about this movie was all the HOT people.  Especially the guys!  Wassup!  Edward was def gorgeous and really carried the movie.  Jasper was weird looking, but that is what he needed to look like.  Emmett...mmmmhmmmm.  He is def my type.  Big, strong, athletic, sarcastic, and funny.  Yesss.  Good grief bring me a man like him.  Yeyahh.  James, the bad vampire, was so sexy.  I def liked him better in Never Back Down with shorter hair.  But he's still hot.  While reading the books, I was 'Team Jacob.'  He is described as my type :)  He had very few appearances in the movie but I am looking forward to the next movie, though I'm sure it won't really be anytime soon.  Oh well.

Exciting week ahead!  Tomorrow, NewSpring :)  Monday, only ONE class and lunch with my faves Lizanne and Katherine.  Tuesday, ONE more class and then home for the break!!!  Yayyy.  Wednesday, lunch with my throw back crew in Greenville and then power close (gross).  Thursday, TURKEY!!!  Friday, black friday and then Saturday, CLEMSON-CAROLINA GAME!!!! Go Tigers!!!  

I have so many depressing things I want to talk about but I also don't really want to talk about it either.  I really enjoy blogging though.  Yet again, pretty sure no one is reading it!

Big love,

Caroline.

High School Musical and Rainy Days

High School Musical makes me sad.  Why can't my friends and schoolmates randomly burst into song and dance??  That would only be the coolest thing ever.  But no, most people I know refuse to even sit through or pay money for a musical.  Zac Efron is pretty dreamy.  The numbers in this musical were phenomenal!!!  I wanted to stand and join in AND clap, though I had to contain myself since no one else seemed interested in participating.  Oh well.  I know in my mind that if I grew up in California, I would have a role in all the High School Musicals and my own TV show and my own CD and my own fragrance.  But it's ok.  I'm ok with the fact that I am going to work very hard for everything I get. 

Rain+College Campus+Friday=zero motivation.  I was very happy that I got out of class at 2:15.  Then, I went and shut myself in the room :)  love doing that.  But, having to walk so freakin' far to my car...in the cold...in the rain...sucked.  I don't know if I am going to survive next week.  I need a break from school so so so bad.  School from Aug. 20th to Oct. 31st without a break=absolutely ridiculous.  

So...the word about my blog (haha) is starting to spread.  Kind of exciting, I must say.  So any feedback, if anyone actually does read this, would be pretty cool.  My bed is calling my name very loudly and I'm very excited.

Big Love,

Caroline.

Blogging...for the very first time.

Just to let everyone know, I am basing how I write this blog by Perez Hilton!

Ok, so my wonderful father jokingly suggested that I start a blog to keep my family updated on what I'm doing in my freshman year at the greatest school in the country, Clemson University.  Haha.  I'm quickly learning how to manage my time, which pretty much means getting rid of sleep.  Last night, I stayed until 3:30 and wrote a kick butt rough draft for a freakin thesis paper.  

*How long are blogs supposed to be?*

The title of my blog comes from two distinct sources.  The first being my aunt jan and/or uncle steve.  A card I received from them was signed "Big Love" and I love that!  And then there is my favorite movie ever, "Mean Girls."  I love this movie no matter how stupid you think it is.  It is 100% my favorite movie and I can quote it to pieces.  Being in college, living and interacting with about 87 billion girls...Mean Girls seems to become more of a reality than a fictional title.  

So, my communications professor said that blogging would be a good practice for learning to easily express our thoughts.  Ok, we'll give this a try for awhile.

On the schedule for the rest of the day:

-French Extra Credit at 5

-Homework and Studying until around 9

-FCA at 9.19

-Facebook will be added when able and maybe another blog, even though no one is aware I am doing this yet.
