GRADES!

Hello family and the few friends that actually read this...

I just got my grades back. All updated. My last grades of my Clemson college career!!! Ahhhh!

Anyways, not to brag, but I kinda am because I mean, it was my LAST semester of college!

I got all As and one B!!! (the B in International Economics of course, yuck)--a 3.75 GPA for this semester. The As were in International Organizations (Political Science), Global Supply Chain Management and Strategic Management.

So, da da dummmm.... I am officially graduating Magna Cum Laude. (with an overall GPA of 3.71)!!!!

I think that's pretty exciting and if I do say so myself, for the RIDICULOUS amount of FUN I had in College, that is really really really GOOD! :) hahaha

More updates, since I haven't updated in a few weeks:

The past two weeks have definitely been hectic. Lots of presentations, projects, papers, exams, etc. I figured out that I needed to make 85s on all of my exams in order to get the grades I wanted (and the grades I got!). That was stressful and led to me actually having to study a lot for my last 4 exams. 2 of my exams I didn't have to take, I could've settled for the B, but I just CANNOT do that! (I was the only person in both of those classes that had a B and was trying for an A, I think my other classmates thought I was crazy or something).

Aside from studying, I allowed myself to enjoy one big day/night of partying before exams got all started. That was the Football Team's Day Party. Apparently this is a yearly tradition that I have missed for FOUR years, but that was okay, because I got to enjoy it my last semester. It happens when they get 1-2 weeks off after the Clemson v. USC game, before they have to start preparing for the bowl game. We went to Crawford Falls to a few of the football players' apartment. They bought 2 kegs and made Jungle Juice/ PJ (fruit punch and everclear....yes, I know). + some champagne I brought to celebrate!

I couldn't even tell you the names of all the players I hung out with, but I'll name drop just for fun: Andre Ellington, Tajh Boyd, Jamie Harper, Miguel Chavis, Richard Jackson, Michael Wade, and so many others... There were like 30+ people there. And only about 10 girls--of course, I was the first to arrive at 230pm. We also played the longest/largest game of flip cup I have ever seen/participated in. It was awesome, and yes, I was on the winning team.

After it got dark, the boys ordered Pizza to feed us, we headed downtown and celebrated our Friday night before exams!! It was one of my favorite memories of all time in Clemson. I've had great fraternity-sorority functions and parties. But to actually spend time with the few football players I know (that aren't all jerks), was awesome!

Miguel (#89) is one of my favorite people of all time and I will miss him terribly.---I did get to stay up really late studying with him in the library during exam week and I really enjoyed that one on one time with him. He is also a Sigma Chi, really intelligent (a PoliSci major), and one of the kindest and most heartfelt, generous guys I know. His mama sure raised him right.

After that eventful Friday day and night, I just relaxed all Saturday. And began to study all day Sunday and throughout the rest of the week. 4 exams. Needed 85s. Exams Monday through Friday. Exhausting. Barely any sleep. Totally worth it, because I did it! And got all the grades I wanted!!

This past weekend, I went out in Clemson Friday night, for one big hoo-rah! I got to see lots of my boys and friends that were leaving Saturday (yesterday) and it was terribly sad. Some of the boys started to say goodbye to me and I couldn't handle it. No sir. Especially one of my good friends Robbie, I told him, "Nope, I can't say goodbye to you yet." So, in return he promised to come up Thursday for graduation festivities and to say goodbye to me.

Last night, I went to Athens, GA to visit one of my best friends from Ashley Hall, Madeline. Ellen (also one of my best friends since I was two) came up as well and we just hung out in Athens. We had a great dinner at La Dolce Vita downtown, soooo delicious (with Malbec red wine and lots of leftovers). Great night with the girls. We woke up Sunday morning and went to IHOP--also deliciousness. We hung out, caught up, and chatted until Ellen left. I took a nice long nap and it was SNOWING in ATHENS???!!! It never snows. It was beautiful. It was awesome!!! I love snow.

I don't know if I can handle saying goodbye to all of them.

This is devastating. (also, I started packing up my apartment. depressing.)

I will be an emotional wreck, so to all you family and friends out there reading,

BE PATIENT with me. Because I will be VERY VERY SAD. And let me ENJOY my last few days of freedom, college-life, fun, freedom.

Thank you in advance.

Goodnight friends, family, and blogger world.

Love you all.

LMAO

this is hilarious.

Today's Big Thing Nov 29

all of the days are good. but this is a compilation of november fails.

i love it.

just a little piece of joy from me to you in the christmas spirit

"lasts"

This weekend was my LAST football game as a Clemson student. How very sad, not to mention a very brutal loss to Carolina 29-7. I had great seats though in the Sigma Chi block, which was great as always with good friends and good ole Tiger passion.

Unfortunately though, we're probably going to go to a really crappy bowl, like the Meinke bowl, which stinks (but not more than Parker does!)

I'll go backwards from here...

I went home to Charleston Tuesday night for Thanksgiving, only to return less than 3 days later for the rivalry game. Wednesday for dinner, Jim's family came and Mom made Salmon and we had pecan pie. Yum! Jim's son, Jim came with his wife Migle and son Kostas (who live in Stuttgart, Germany) as well as Jim's other son, Chris and his daughter Emily. Cameron came over and we had a great time. And then I had drinks with Madeline and Ellen--we went to Social and the Rooftop above Market Pavilion Hotel. Some good wine. (I should've made a stop to Charleston Beer Exchange while I was home to grab some sweet beers, but I forgot, oops).

Thursday was Thanksgiving, so we all did our traditional morning Turkey Trot 5k run, probably the HOTTEST thanksgiving run I've ever had, like 75 degrees and sunny, whoo. I ran the 2 miles, walked some, just wasn't feeling it after some wine last night. Finished it, went to the beer truck and then we went to Circa 1886 (like we usually do) for Breakfast with Dad and Linn and the family. Man, I've sure missed those croissants and missed Miss Betty this year :(

We headed to "the country" (Linn's sister Elizabeth's house) for a rousing game of flag football (yet another tradition). My team won 5-2 (I think?). No thanks to me, I might add, it was incredibly hot and the boys were handling much of the hard labor of the game. I wish I could list the seemed-like 100 people there Thursday, but that's too much to handle between family, friends, adopted-orphans, but seriously though, there were probably 30 people there! We had everything imaginable for food options. Venison stew, baked and fried turkey, mashed potatoes and rice, oyster and regular stuffing, green bean casserole, and more. It was absolutely delicious and for the first time ever in my thanksgiving, I didn't go for a second serving (although my plate was stacked pretty high the first go-round). Not to forget the five pies: Pecan, pumpkin, pumpkin and coconut, peanut butter, cheesecake and Ambrosia cake that Linn made for Elizabeth's early birthday celebration.

The food was filling, the wine was flowing, and the laughs were unstoppable.

Headed back to Clemson friday morning after wonderful mother-daughters-time with Mom and Cameron. We got pedis and manis (very much needed after cramming my feet in the most beat up cowboy boots you've ever seen for far too long).

Last Saturday was the Wake Forest away game, so I stayed in Clemson and participated in the Fall Crawl. It's like our Senior Walk in the spring, basically a bar crawl for anyone at Clemson that's 21 and wants to do it. It's pretty awesome. I stayed mostly in my same areas so I could just watch football all day at Loose Change and Wingin' It--no surprise there. Some of the boys were playing Beer Golf (maybe the best game ever), so I did some assisting there, haha. It was a pretty great day all in all. 

I love Clemson, I do.

It's a disease, but a great one.

I can't believe I will be graduating in 19 days and leaving this beautiful place in 21 days.

Lots of lasts these next few weeks. So sad.

4 1/2 years flew by. I can't believe it.

More to come. Love you all.

I did it! I did it!

I can't believe I actually did it!

I ran 13.1 miles!!! ALL of it! I can't believe it. 

I am still in shock. I am so proud of myself (and I don't feel guilty for saying that!)

Like I said earlier, training was going slow, real slow.

The most I had run in my training (and the most in my life I might add) was SIX miles...and I was expecting to run THIRTEEN? DOUBLE THAT?

AM I CRAZY?

Apparently so. But also, apparently, adrenaline does wonders.

(And being my dad's daughter--guess it's genetic)

I finished in 2hrs 23 minutes. 

That's running 10-11 minute miles.--totally fine with me!

(Mrs. Bailey and Coach Slepetz would be SO proud!)

Who am I? I was a SPRINTER? and now I can run THIRTEEN miles??

Seriously, I can't believe it.

Even my family was shocked. They knew I was unprepared, so they barely made it to the finish line in time to watch me cross it, because they thought I wouldn't be back for another 20-30 mins...(Well, I sure showed them, huh?) Haha.

Dad got second in his age group.

Michelle (bless her freezing self) swam 1.2 miles.

Linn biked 56 miles. (56! whoa!)

I ran 13.1 miles and finished the team relay.

As a team, although we weren't really competing, finished 14th out of 20 teams, which was great!!

It was wonderful. Great time with the family.

Recap:

Thursday night I went home to Charleston.

Friday morning I had breakfast with Mom, then got in the car and headed to Wilmington with Dad, Linn, and Michelle.

Saturday--RACE DAY!! (I even got to sleep in!)

Saturday night, after Dad got his award, and we all showered, we went to Wild Wings to get yummy, fatty food and BEER, to watch Auburn and Clemson's football games.

Auburn won. Going to SEC Championship against USC (boooo USC!) WAR DAMN/CAM EAGLE!

Clemson lost. (I don't want to talk about it. Grrr). 

Woke up this morning, had breakfast at the hotel, and Michelle and I drove back to Charleston.

I spent 2 hours in Charleston with Mom, then headed back to Clemson.

Heavy schoolweek ahead.

2 exams. 1 research paper. 1 presentation.

and I have to finish my ePortfolio...

And graduation is in 33 days.

I can't believe THAT either.

Just an update. I'm sure pictures will be on facebook soon. (If not, I'll post them on here later).

Time for bed. I am so SORE and TIRED.

Thanks to all that prayed and had faith in me, my team, and my Dad. No injuries, just soreness.

Goodnight, bloggers!

Wilmington Ironman website: Beach 2 Battleship

one decision down.

It's official.

I just declined my offer as Recruiter at Insight Global in Atlanta. I loved the company, their goals, the challenging opportunities they have to offer, the people, the office environment, almost everything. They were great. It was a big decision.

This means that I just made the decision to take one of the two jobs that would move me to Germany. 

AHHHHhhhh!

I haven't decided which one (M.C.Dean v. Interconex) yet, they are both still in the working process...

I was in Charleston for the night and now I'm headed to Wilmington, NC for the 1/2 Ironman Relay with Michelle, Linn, Dad, and I. 

Wish me luck everyone!!

(because I might die, my body will hurt, yikes!)

Also, wish on the Tigers luck against FSU Saturday at 8pm. I have a lot of friends going down (so pray for their safety) and pray for the Tigers victory!! I'll be watching it (and the Auburn game) at a Sports Bar in Wilmington.

Also, wearing my GDI IPTAY shirt for the race tomorrow. Hopefully NC State fans won't trip me, and maybe some Clemson fans will give me a few extra cheers!

GO TIGERS!

WISH ME LUCK!

only one more home game. depressing.

I can't believe it!!!!!!

I am graduating in 40 days. 40!
Dec 16th, 2010

My graduation invitation. (will be sent out in a week or two)

My last HOME football game as a student is in 20 days. 20!
Clemson v. USC

I have got to be nuts. Can I switch majors again please? K thanks...

On another note, I am truly blessed to have 3 job offers. I can't believe it. I am so honored, impressed, humbled, excited. People/Companies actually like ME? Whoa, who would've thunk it? :)

I went home for Fall Break, spent time with the family and friends. I got a cold and was fighting that off, so my Halloween wasn't exactly the most eventful, but Clemson definitely compensates for a not-as-fun-as-expected Halloween weekend.

Here are some pictures from Halloween weekend/Fall Break in Charleston:

This weekend: NC State. @noon.

Dad, Cameron, and Linn came up for the NC State football game.

We sat in the box, which was fabulous because it was a cold gameday.

Nail-biting victory, just BARELY a victory. Our defense was our only savior.

(and the free-groceries-for-a-year kicker, just kidding).

Cameron, my step-mom Linn, Dad, and I in the box for NC State 

I cried at halftime. Yes, yes, it happened. 

It was Military Appreciation day and it was so beautiful and moving. Not only was I sad that this was my second to last home game ever as a student, but I thought of all my friends going into the military after graduation, who are at camp training, who will go active duty. Powerful men. I am so impressed with their patriotism and love for America.

Shout out to Stuart, Simmons, Matt Miller, Chase, Clayton, and so many other friends that will serve. I am wow-ed by these men.

I took Dad, Cameron and Linn to the Sigma Chi Alumni tailgate at Explorers/Friars/Flip Flops.

They had an ice luge (so college).

And met lots of "old balls" Sigma Chis (excuse the french).

I have SEVEN days of classes left. 4 final exams.

It all went by so fast.

And duh-duh-dunnnn....

this weekend is the 1/2 Ironman relay in Wilmington, NC

I will be coming home Thursday night, driving to NC Friday morning.

Race day--Saturday.

Michelle is swimming. 1.2 miles

Linn is biking. 56 miles.

I'm running. 13.1 miles.(I must be crazy). 

I've got a big week this week. 2 papers and a huge exam.

Wish me luck.

Love you all.

I'll post pictures from the race afterwards.

Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Today is a BIG day!! FIRST JOB OFFER!!

Since my last post... (AND A LONG ONE!!)

The weekend of the Maryland game:

  -- I went to the Sigma Nu Alumni Dinner Friday Night in Greenville. It was so much fun. I got to meet a lot of older Alumni, hang out with my Sigma Nu friends, and dance and shag. It was great, then we went downtown of course, which is ALWAYS crazy packed on Gameday weekends! (@LooseChange)
      --meanwhile the family was in Charleston celebrating Linn's birthday dinner at Circa (a little jealous)

Here are some pics from the EN Alumni Dinner:

Matt and I on the Bus

Austin and I --my date

Molly and I

  --Maryland game, WON 31-7. So much fun. Lower Deck Seats with EX Fraternity.

Here are some pics from the Maryland game:

ROB and Mr. ROB!!!

Sigma Chi Derby Days:
(ah-hem, my FAVORITE Philanthropic event of the year!) And reigning Derby Days QUEEN 2009!
  --ADPi won the Banner Competition Sunday night.
  --Monday--Derby Chase (where all the sororities chase the Sigma Chi boys from the Botanical Gardens to the Tiger at Littlejohn Coliseum)
  --Tuesday: Bowling (I'm not sure
  --Wednesday: Karaoke (ADPi got 5th)
  --Thursday: Lee Brice/ Love and Theft Concert
  --Friday: Dance Competition (ADPi got 3rd)

Overall, ADPi got 3rd in Derby Days this year.
We all know I was a little sad, but it IS unusual for a sorority to win two years in a row. And, let's be honest, I'm a little intense. So, it was probably really hard for this years chairs to live up to my scary intensity and motivation.


Thursday : Instead of going to the concert, I went to dinner with my friend Taylor and his parents at Blue Heron, which was SUCH a treat. His mom is from Charleston and we had LOADS to talk about!! Such a great family!

      --then I went to a small Pi Kappa Phi (dad!) party! and downtown!

Friday :  UTi interview in Greenville.

Saturday : GA Tech VICTORY! 27-13. Upper Deck seats, but still awesome!! Finally a win, you all remember the GA Tech game last year in ATL. I went down with Betas and it was so fun, except for when we lost. Clemson was on SportCenter for a fan that got really angry about losing...Clemson Fan Upset at Loss

Here are pictures from GA Tech:

Monday : Lunch interview with Insight Global at Seasons 52 in Atlanta with the Managers of the ATL office. Insight Global website

Tuesday (today) : Insight offered me the JOB! My very first JOB OFFER!!! AHH!!!


I have TWO WEEKS to accept. We will see!!! I have another interview with M.C. Dean in Charleston on Friday.

This week will be FULL of studying!!!
Loads of things due on Thursday!!

I love you all. I hope you enjoyed this LONG post.

<3 Kathryn

quickie

quick update.

1) Weekend:

Sigma Chi mountain weekend was a BLAST!!! (That's a complete understatement, but I don't know how else to describe it). It might have topped all of the previous four mountain weekends I've been on!

me on the zip-line

Pi Pis at Mtn Weekend

2) Clemson:

I am disappointed that Clemson's football team is NOT doing as well as I'd hoped for my LAST semester. (At least I can still cheer Auburn on! War Eagle!)...And only 44 days until the Clemson v. Carolina game, where CLEMSON BETTER BE VICTORIOUS (just sayin')!!

But, I LOVE FALL in Clemson. It is absolutely stunning, breathtaking, incredible!

Tillman

3) Interviews/Jobs:

   a) I had a GREAT lunch interview with Kieran at Interconex (one of the companies that would move me to Germany) in Greenville at High Cotton. An absolutely great interview with 3 courses! Who gets to start off their Friday's like that every week?

   b) I cancelled my second interview with Target. I just don't see myself there. Loved them, my interviewers, but it just didn't fit right.

   c) I am still waiting on scheduling a face-to-face with the other company (M.C. Dean) that would put me in Germany, probably interviewing in Charleston for Fall Break.

   d) I have an interview with UTi in Greenville a week from Friday!

   e) I have a second/lunch interview with Insight Global (IT staffing firm) the week before Fall Break in Atlanta, but tomorrow night I'm meeting up with the corporate recruiter in Clemson to get a few drinks and show him around downtown Clemson.

PHEW! I love interviewing and meeting people and networking! But man, this is exhausting! I've had one interview a week for 8 straight weeks now and it keeps going, which is GREAT!
I have to say, I am so BLESSED and THANKFUL for all of the help, advice, opportunities, referrals, recommendations, and offers. It has just been wonderful and SO encouraging.
Everyone knows I like to have a plan and I'd like to have a job offer signed/sealed/delivered at Thanksgiving/first week of December! Wouldn't that just be FAB?
For real, just think about this for a second, I could have a SIGNED JOB OFFER in 3-5 WEEKS! That is absolutely incredible to me.

4) Training is HARD! And I am behind schedule. 30 days left. Yikes! "Step it up, Widman!" (I need Coach Slepetz, Coach Bailey, or Franny to whip me straight!)

5) Classes are challenging. Especially when on my free days I'm interviewing and travelling which pretty much consumes my whole day.

I'm hoping for all As and a B...Hence why I'm spending some late nights in Cooper Library.

6) I love my friends. I miss my Charleston friends, I miss my old roommates, I miss my old PiPi sisters, but I am so blessed because we ALL keep in touch. I can't wait to see everyone again.

I know I will CRY at graduation. All the fifth years leaving. Leaving all my Sigma Chi boys. 4 1/2 years worth of great friendships. Whoa! Done talking about this. Can't cry typing. Need to study. Phew!

Me and Sigma Chis. Some fifth years.

Goodnight blogger world. Wish me luck on tests and interviews!

God bless,

I like it...

Tonight, I was in a "motivating-myself" mood.

I wanted great quotes that inspire me to go for my goals, my hopes, my dreams.

To find a job that I love, to move to a place that I love...

and to succeed.

To be the businesswoman I've always hoped I'd be.

So here are quotes that just totally made my night.

I hope you like them.

:)

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” ~Miriam Beard

(I love this for my "travel bug")

"Hire character. Train skill."  ~Peter Schutz

(This epitomizes me. And what I hope to show in interviews)

"To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart." ~Thomas Watson, Sr.

(Heart. I love heart. Heart in sports. Heart in friendships. 

Love.  Schoolwork. Heart in Clemson. Heart in anything you do.)

"A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not."  ~Unknown

"Leaders need to be optimists.  Their vision is beyond the present." ~Rudy Giuliani

"Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow." ~Vince Lombardi

(Oh, Vince. The power to inspire. I love it)

“Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.”  

~Lee Iacocca

"If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own." ~Henry Ford

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference."

~Reinhold Niebuhr

(This man was my grandfather's minister. 

Yes, that's right, my Grandpa KNEW this man--Awesome Sauce)

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently." ~Henry Ford

"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning." ~Bill Gates

“The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.” ~Franklin P. Jones

(This reminded me of Dad.)

“To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs.” ~Adlin Sinclair

(This reminds me of Mom.)

“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ''Make me feel important.'' Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.” ~Mary Kay Ash

(So true.)

SIDENOTE: I LOVE Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).

Last year, women on Facebook, put the color of their bra on their FB status.

This year, for Breast Cancer Awareness, women are posting where they like to put their purse.

i.e. I like it on the floor. I like it on the table. I like it in the kitchen.

It's HILARIOUS! And a great community thing for us women all to know, in secret.

(For my Aunt Linda)

Goodnight.

All my love,

K

In preparation for the weekend...

1) This weekend is Sigma Chi mountain weekend!!!

Yea, yea, I know. I am a FIFTH YEAR SENIOR going to Mountain Weekend. Whoa-I am OLD!

Hahaha! But then again, I am EX Derby Queen ;) so I def should go. bahah, jk.

Anyways, since I'm not making a cooler for my date this year (Sorry Neal!! a "super senior" from New Orleans), I will post my MOST FAVORITE COOLER EVER! (that I painted for Hunter my sophomore year).

Top: Southern Comfort Bottle Label
Front: EX's mtn wknd t-shirt design for that year.
The cupholders : his monogram

South Carolina State Flag

Sigma Chi's Crest
"in hoc signo vinces" --in this sign you will conquer

This year, we are going to Camp Wayfarer...around Boone, NC.

Aka, we're "roughing it"

Usually, Sigma Chi goes to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN

2) This is going to be a pretty easy week. Just quizzes and lots of reading.

I have a 4.0 drop-in reception at President Barker's House Wednesday night! I always like going there, I'll try to take some pictures.

And I also have to decide what honor societies I want on my Clemson Graduation Honor Stole! Yikes! And order Graduation announcements. Big MOVES this week!!

3) Friday afternoon, I have a lunch interview with Interconex (company website)--for y'all to research (ah-hem, Mom and Dad).

This is the company that would put me in Frankfurt/Stuttgart. They do some work with Jim Condon (little Jim's company: DRS Technologies, company website)

4) duh duh duh....MOM is coming to CLEMSON on SUNDAY!!! after I get back from EX Mtn Wknd!! I am so excited. SO excited. Like WHOA!

Mom is staying with me! I'm hoping I can take her to Clemson Sushi Bar, where Burns works for sushi and vino.

Also, Mom and I are going to go SHOPPING! (Greenville/Atlanta?) Hoping to find warmer clothes for jobs that I will most likely be taking--colder than SC. And maybe a suit? I don't have much luck with shopping, so hopefully that will be great. And she'll be leaving Tuesday-ish.

Just a preview of what is going on this week.

I love you all! And I hope you know, I wouldn't be able to do any of these awesome things if it weren't for YOU ALL! I wouldn't have all these interviews and second interviews if it weren't for the way I was raised! I am SO blessed! SO blessed! Hopefully I will have a least 2-3 options to choose from. I love all the fun I'm having this semester and I am so thankful that I get to have an extra semester here at my most favorite place in the world. Whoa! I can't even describe it to y'all! I wouldn't be who I am today without each and every one of you, family and friends, nor would I be who I am today without all the people I've met and experiences I've had in this wonderful place called CLEMSON!

my blood runneth orange,

K

And a few pictures from the Miami game! (Even though we made stupid mistakes and LOST, ugh!, it was an awesome game!!)

I'm pretty sure it sold out, and if not, it was definitely close.

As you all know, I normally sit on the Sigma Chi block, but this game, I went in with a friend right after Kickoff, and we asked random people for their ticket.

Walked right in, had GREAT SEATS! Section A! Lower Deck! 

Not to mention, it was beautifully full of Orange Clemson fans, packed stadium, and BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!!

Here are some from the weekend below.

It was fabulous having Miss Polly Lindon stay with me!!!!! I hope she comes down to Charleston for Thanksgiving! And for another football game. She traveled all the way from D.C. One of my best friends of all time. The best!

I got to see my old roomies! Ashley Rigter and Logan Szubski!! We actually got to hang out some Saturday night!

And I got to see Julia!! It was soo great, although brief ;)

I loved having everyone in town this weekend! So much FUN!

Seriously, may have been my most favorite home game of ALL TIME! (would've definitely made #1 if we had won).

CLEMSON. IS. BEAUTIFUL.

I went for a 6 mile run today. An hour right around sunset.

Here are some pictures along my run on the dikes.

My love for Clemson grows every day.

Clemson, I will miss you.
