Coffee has its perks.

Yesterday, some one sent me an article titled, "Death by Caffine," because they thought it related to my life. That could be considered a low point. Needless to say, I've been on a coffee addiction for the past two weeks. It's beautiful. Every morning, I walk into class and my friend observes what size coffee I have made for myself. He uses this to infer how my morning is going. I have even took the time to rank the types of coffee that the coffee shop provides. Brazos Valley Pecan is by far the best, but that is irrelevant. 


Here is an update of life: 


The Shire: Our house is growing every type of weed, grass, vegetable possible. This is not a hyperbole-- we have cucumbers in our backyard. We haven't made friends with the neighbors yet, but we all suspect that our outrageous lawn is not inviting them over any time soon. We also decided to decorate our house for Halloween. It already looks scary, but we copied the neighbors idea of hanging spider webs from the pillars. The fact that we copied their exact decorations is probably not luring them over to meet us either. We're awkward. 
Pumpkins & Plaid: For Halloween, our house decided to have a "pumpkins and plaid" party. Never heard of one? That makes sense, because they don't exist. We just wanted to carve pumpkins, but added in the idea of wearing plaid. Again, we're awkward. However, it was a huge success. 

Old Friends: My friend, Allen, came and visited on his way to Baylor. It was such a joy being able to catch up over coffee (seriously, i'm addiction) and pizza. I met one of his best friends, Callie. Allen was one of my closest friends in high school and we bonded over Calculus homework. I'm constantly blessed by my friends. 

Color: A&M was chosen to release an Android/Iphone app. It is in the testing stage right now with about 200 people. It's called Color. In simple terms, it's a live-video feed. For example, if I am at a concert, I can record the concert and you can "tune-in" to what I am watching. It posts directly on Facebook. They had a release party for the app last week and it is already a huge success. 

Kiss the Troops: Pi Phi was chosen to participate in "Kiss the Troops." Seventeen, Cosmo, and the USO teamed up for this to happen. We wrote letters to the troops all night and it was a blast.There were also a ton of Hershey Kisses around, which my roommates and I devoured.

Have a happy week.
