I may not know much . . .


This past weekend my friend Liz and I went to the Boston College v. University of North Carolina football game. I'm not a big football fan and really don't know very much about the sport. What I do know however, is that you're supposed to hold on to the ball and try to get it across the touchdown line without letting the other team have it. I think I maybe knew more about the game that day than the players did.


There were constant interceptions and fumbles. We were dying laughing at the scramble out on the field when the ball would go loose. Liz said it best when she said it felt like we were watching a peewee football game.

Neither of us really cared about the teams, so it made for an enjoyable afternoon full of simple entertainment. We had a blast watching the cheerleaders do their crazy tricks, the mascots play rock, paper, scissors, watching the marching band perform at half time and catching up on all the latest in each others lives.


I may not be a big football fan but I do love the atmosphere and the company was top notch!

Halloween at the Harvard Club




I love Halloween! It's the one time of year that I get to dress up, look crazy and actually leave the house. This year I was all excited to dress up like a lion. I know it sounds a little weird but trust me, I had a great idea. When I was just about to start gathering the things I needed for my killer look I found out that the Big Halloween party this year would not be a dress in costume kind of party. It was a masquerade ball!




I went online and found this awesome idea for a mask that you paint on your face. My new roommate and GREAT friend Chen Ying designed it and outlined it on my face for me. I didn't have any grease paint to put on, so I improvised (black cream eyeliner and a paint brush). It turned out awesome!




Chen Ying then added crystals around my eyes to really complete the look and we headed for the Harvard Club.



Where we danced the night away.

Hope you had a good Halloween too.
