A Simple Sparkle

Sorry I was gone for the entire month of November, which is one of my favorite months! My school schedule got a little hectic and Thanksgiving break was a bit of an ordeal. Now the semester is winding down and everyone's getting ready for Christmas break. Everything on campus has been decorated within an inch of life. Even those of us who work at the front desks of the dorms... The end of the semester means that my departure to Ireland is fast approaching! I don't think I've ever been so excited!

Also, you can't tell from this picture, but I borrowed my friends shoes (which are a men's 11) so I kinds looked like a clown. Personally, I thought it was hilarious and added to effect of me being dressed up like a little kid. Anyway, I hope everyone had a fun night! -Elyse
