{miscellany monday: academia}



Oh. Joy. School's back in session. Since I work at a university, the first week of classes is not only crucial to me academically... but professionally too. Things are different this fall. New position, new major, new office. I'm hoping that school year will be my *last* and that I can keep up this 4.0 GPA. Graduate School, you are the death of me... sigh. Today's Monday musings will be all school related.

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

{1} Planners. I need one. I want this.

It's Lilly & there's fishies. I love it.

{2} My classes this semester are Psychology in Education & Current Trends in Educational Technology. I think I'll be able to tackle these successfully. I love my technology classes.

{3} I am so ready to load up my closet with new work clothes. Being that I live in Florida, we don't really have a need for fall fashion. It's summer or winter for us here. Neiman Marcus made a list of "fall trends" for 2010, so let's see how they'll fit into my fall fashion plans.
  • Green [oh yes, this is my *favorite* color]
  • Military influences [Um, probably not]
  • The pant suit [I've been known to wear these already]
  • Capes, ponchos and vests [That's a negative on the cape and poncho. Vests are another story.]
  • Fur [No way!]
  • Lace [Yes please!]
  • Feathers [Absolutely. I've been loving feathers lately.]
  • A wardrobe of boots [Maaaaybe. But, like I said, it is Florida. We wear flip flops year round]
  • The structured handbag [I love handbags of all shapes & sizes!)
  • Pearls [Can't go wrong with these!]

Moving on.... first time that I'm linking up with these lovely ladies.

Monday Minute


*Favorite 80s flick?
Back to the Future & Sixteen Candles. My favorite 80s movie that isn't from the 80s is the Wedding Singer!

*One genre of music needs to be banned. Which genre?
I wouldn't ban anything. I honestly listen to *everything.*

*All time favorite candy?
Reese's, Peanut Butter M & Ms

*How 'flawed' is your driving record?
Besides some pesky parking tickets, it's squeaky clean. ::knockonwood::

*What was high school mascot?
Eagles.

*What color socks are you wearing?
Nada. Wearing heels.





There's a Blog Hop going on & you're invited! Thanks for picking me Jessie!

*Bonus: My Leigh Ashley is hosting a giveaway for personalized stationary from Bella Luce. I'm definitely in need of save the dates and/or invitations for that whole wedding thing I'm having. I hope I win! (Well, you can enter too, of course ;) )

Hi Krystal...I'm a new follower :)

I lived in Orlando for 5 years..and all of my clothes were faux winter. It looked like wool, but was really thin, boots that were cute but not practical. It was fun pretending there were seasons!

Have a great first week of class!

Good luck w/ school. I can't imagine the stress of it all.
I think I've gained 10lbs just reading about all this candy today.

Wow! I am dying to know more about your Master's! I am just starting mine in Literacy, but my undergrad was in English Education. Your classes got me all excited and now I am dying to start mine (next week)...Happy Monday!
