Project 365: Day 156

Dad and I went to the Christkindelmarkt to have a celebratory brat and beer. It was so good. And we met a nice German man, whom we talked with for a while about beer and wine and all good German things.

Project 365: Day 155

Home sweet home! And a real, amazing Christmas tree.

Project 365: Day 154

Ok. It's cold in my room. Yesterday's final kicked my butt. Today's should be easier, except for the part where I didn't start studying until yesterday night.
Thus:

Project 365: Day 153

Today, i took the worst exam ever. Oh man, was it painful!! So then I came home, had some wine, and then made myself cheese and spinach risotto with chicken and veggies in a red wine reduction, steamed broccoli and more red wine. Om nom nom.

Oh, and as a bonus image: the photo ID from our exam today. Feel free to speculate about what it means/where it is/who it is/etc in the comments, if you're feeling bold!

Project 365: Day 152

Ok, this is cheating. But remember weebles? Weebles wobble but they don't fall down? Remember them? Well, I spent so long studying that by the end of the night I was wobbling right out of the library, basically incapable of saying anything other than "Weebles wobble! Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!!"

Project 365: Day 151

Project 365: Day 150

MSE library. Oh, soooooo many hours.

Project 365: Day 149

Makin' dinner.

Project 365: Day 148

I walked into my room to find AJ working at my desk, wearing the bright pink snuggie and listening to Kelly Clarkson.

Project 365: Day 147

Evalyn made a Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner for the house (and AJ). It was delicious!

Project 365: Day 146

Chris finished his comps. We were celebrating. :-D

Project 365: Day 145

Today, we went to the lighting of the Washington Monument. (No, not that one. This one. They're both pretty phallic, though.) It was pretty much a big party, lots of food and people and lights and glowsticks and fireworks!

And then I saw these ladies. They're so... Bawlmer, somehow. I love it. They happily posed for me.

And then we went to a neighborhood dive-y bar, where these were my favorite signs.

We also talked to some guys who were building a beeramid out of beer cans. Natty Boh, of course. I think it should be the Egyptologist's wizard staff...

Project 365: Day 144

Our cable has a "Yule Log" Channel. It roars and crackles and plays Christmas music. Comcast ftw.

Project 365: Day 143

This is how graduate school makes me feel.

Thanks to Maggie for taking this one.

Project 365: Day 142

Evalyn found this gigantic coke sign, and it's been waiting to be installed in our kitchen for a month.

Project 365: Day 141

Hurray! Mike got me a Snuggie for my birthday (breast cancer pink), and it's the perfect compliment to watching football in the chilly living room on Sundays.

Project 365: back in business!

I got a camera for my birthday, to replace the one that was stolen! So I get to put up some pictures again, and start where I left off. Sorry if you were really wondering what my life looked like in October and November.

Project 365: Day 140

Nice to see you too, Rita.

Project 365: Day 139

It's possible that I had a little too much wine with dinner... and it is also possible I gave AJ this frosting mustache. And it is further possible that I then made him stand still while I photographed it. Honey, I love you! <3

Project 365: Day 138

Thanksgiving at our house is also always a birthday party for me! This time also for my cousins. :-)
Bonus photo: AJ makes crafts!

Project 365: Day 137

Three photos! 1) AJ enjoying being sucked into the vortex that is the Bean.
2) AJ and my nephews and my mother in a viscious tickle fight.
3) the group shot!

Project 365: Day 136

Ok! The first post back from my hiatus!

AJ is at first skeptical, but then understands, Chicago style pizza.

Project 365 Suspended

Hey friends, readers, viewers, etc
The photo-blogging enterprise is on hold again. Once again I don't have a camera, but this time I also don't have a computer. (or wallet, or any ID, or any money, or an ipod, etc).
Someday, when my life is back together, or all my stolen possestions are returned or replaced, I'll get back to it.
Until then, my undying photographic love,
Katie

Project 365: Day 135

Image redacted pending security evaluation. 

Yessss. I finallllly got my first check today. Yay!

Project 365: Day 134

In case you can't see that, here's a close up.

Oops.

Project 365: Day 133

Sadly, this reminds me of New Haven. A lot. (They were giving them away at a coffee shop in a nice neighborhood. Huh?)

Project 365: Day 132

JHU's President's Day of Service. We gathered here, and then split off to many many project sites. I ended up cleaning up a park in the rain, which would have made pretty pictures that would have fried my poor, battered camera.

Project 365: Day 131

We went to the mall. It was fun times; I talked Erin into impersonating this cherub. 

Project 365: Day 130

After church, the view looking west over the lacrosse field.

Project 365: Day 129

Emblematic of Hopkins, of course.

Project 365: Day 128

A quiet little sculpture garden on campus, featuring camels (my favorite!).

Project 365: Day 127

My Shasta proudly displaying a Shasta Twist.

Project 365: Day 126

Greek Odyssey dancers at the festival in Orange, CT.

Also, for you 'Hounies: photos of renovated Calhoun!

 

  

 

Project 365: Day 124

The view from the train to New Haven.

Delaware. Sad.

Project 365: Day 123

Sitting in the back with all the cool kids (i.e. grad students) of one of my first classes.

Project 365: Day 122

Star, in motion. :-)

Project 365: Day 121

This is the sort of staged after photo for my departmental dinner party, as well as the last post I will tag as summer, since classes started the next day.
