Sink Issues

Well I was hoping this week was going to be free of surprises but nope I wasn't that lucky. Yesterday morning I woke up an hour late and was rapidly trying to get ready before my bus came. I was in the process of washing my face when I felt water dripping on my foot, so I opened the bathroom cabinet and water was pouring out of either a pipe or the sink bowl and all over everything I had in my cabinet. The water got to my towels and then continued to run until it was on my bathroom floor. Needless to say my Q-Tips didn't survive but most of my other things made it out okay and after two loads of laundry I think everything is almost back to normal in my bathroom. And I would like to say I still made it to class on time! While in class the maintenance man came and re-sealed my whole sink and everything is going okay so far, let's keep our fingers crossed that there are no more water leakages anywhere!



The Aftermath.. Everything from under the counter on top of the counter!

Life is Good

Nothing really new going on here in Raleigh, Fall Break is soon and I couldn't be more excited! I am very ready for a break from classes and tests! This past weekend my best friend Ashley came for a visit and we went to the State vs. Louisville game. State didn't win, but then again what else is new. My fraternity just had rush so we have pledges now and I am now a "Big Brother" haha and my little is pretty adorable! Here are some new pictures from the past couple of days..

Me and Ashley at the State game!!



Meredith, Brittany, Me and my little, Lyndsey!



Everyone have a wonderful week :)

RIP Jean-Pierre

This weekend was great, well until this morning when I found Jean-Pierre floating. Said a prayer and sent him back to the wonderful world of water aka flushed him down the toilet. But onto the better news..

I got to spend the whole day with Ava yesterday, and Chris and Michelle too :) Ava is getting so big and is just too cute!

But I'm off now to bake cupcakes for a friend's birthday and read for sociology! Have a great week!

New Addition to the Fescoe Fam!

Introducing Jean-Pierre...



Yes, it is true I am now a fish owner. I saved Jean-Pierre from Pet's Mart on Friday and he has been living very happily in his new tank on my dresser. My friend also purchased a fish the same time I did and her Jacque died on Sunday, hopefully Jean-Pierre lives a long life!!

Anyhoo I recently purchased curtains and a cactus..





And this Saturday I went to the State game and we finally WON!! Here are some pictures from the game..



They handed out those crazy red hats before the game and since I have such a large head I had issues getting it on my head and it kind of broke, oops!

This is me and my friend Brittany toward the end of the game.



Well now I am off to study, I have FOUR tests this week :(:(:(
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Back at school!

School is going well so far and I am slowly but surely getting settled into my new apartment. I am going to become a fish owner soon and I am pretty excited about that! I am enjoying the apartment life, cooking dinner, cleaning, and all that fun stuff.

Classes are going well, it is still the beginning but so far so good.

Here are some pictures from my room and bathroom...

Goodbye Summer, Hello School Year

Well summer has officially come to an end. I move into my new apartment on Saturday, I am really looking forward to that minus unloading the 758739084 boxes out of the car and up the flight of stairs.

This summer turned out to be quite a success. I worked a lot but in return saved a lot so I will not have to work at least my first semester back at school. I even got to do some traveling. I just recently returned from my almost two week vacation to Florida and Virginia. I flew down to Florida on August 3rd and surprised Grammie and I was there for almost a week. I went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure which was a blast! I also got to go to the beach which was wonderful minus it being extremely hot, so yes my Casper self as my father calls me got a tan!

After Florida I flew up to Virginia and stayed with Chris aka 1st Generation Premature Midget, Michelle aka Escargazzi, and Ava who has yet to get a nickname. I had a great time there as well! Christoph and myself went to Busch Gardens and I got to ride the new roller coaster Griffon which was a ton of fun but was way to short of a ride! We also went to the Virginia Living Museum which was a lot of fun. They had a Jamestown Survival course and yes I was the only one to survive. I was not surprised in the least. They also took me to Richmond and that was really neat and when I graduate I am going to move there and Chris and Michelle are going to be my neighbors haha

Overall my summer was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to the new school year, which starts this Wednesday! Once I move into my apartment and get all settled I will post a blog with pictures!

Summer Update!

Aunt Diane, John and Savannah recently came up for a visit and spent the 4th with us. They rode the train up but after the ride from hell decided to cancel their tickets and fly home and from what I gather the flight was a hundred times better than the train ride. It was great to see the Marino clan especially since they love cooking things like homemade ravioli, eggplant parmesan, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, etc, etc, etc... Stop drooling Michelle :) hehe

Here are some pictures from their last day here:
(Kyle and Lindsey came for a visit too!)











Now onto a work update... I LIVE THERE but the money is good so I can't complain too much. I clocked out tonight and was almost in shock, I have worked over 30 hours in the past 4 days so by the time this weekend is over I will be close to if not over 60 hours. Hopefully at this rate I won't have to work when I get back to school and I can take some time off and concentrate on school and other fun college things.

I move into my new apartment on August 18th and I am very excited about heading back to Raleigh but at the same time sad to be leaving my family and friends. This summer has flown by and I haven't gotten to spend nearly enough time with anyone! Moving into the apartment hopefully will not be too challenging because it is furnished but I am sure I will manage to fill 508403 boxes with other things. Well I think that is about all the updates I have for now, have a wonderful week everyone :)
