New favorite word! "Colloquium" How fun is that word!? Try saying it without saying 'colloqulium". I hope I'm not the only one who has significant amounts of trouble with this. I believe I was "liquid gliding" with that mistake.Waddup, phonological disorders!? You can't beat me I'm a future SLP. ...and apparently a rapper. In other news, I think today is the day I'm feeling good enough to finally run. This cold definitely got the better of me the past week but today is the day it ends. Au revoir, sinus congestion, its been real...something. 

So Chris isn't entering active duty until 2013. Therefore, in order to get a job, he now needs a resume.  This is a little something Chris, the team and I have been working on. With all these skills, Chris and I are going to be millionaires by 30. A Brewmaster's Resume

Today I salute you, Mister Weston cyclist who took advantage of my back wheel today. No, I didn't feel that headwind, and neither did you, because you were tucked in my draft so quietly only your shadow gave you away. That, and the fact that when you hopped on my wheel without asking, I actually felt heavier. I hope you enjoyed the view of my swimmer butt, rider thighs, and runner calves working the crank in my spandex, because if your riding etiquette is in any way a reflection of your manhood, you come up a little short. And we always notice. But ride on, sir, and I hope your legs felt fresh at the top of that beast. Don't mind me, I'm going to take a little break. After all, I did just pull up two people. But I don't mind. Because in the next draft-illegal race when I pass you and your sleek QuintanaRoo bike that costs more than my future car, you'll think of the time you jumped on the back wheel of a girl. Wuss.

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...

Just finishing up an absolutely amazing weekend, which will be blogged about in depth later but includes a surprise engagement party, cake, champagne, making 3 new Deaf friends, tons of icecream, free bagels and beer, and a race. Success. And also this weekend I rediscovered this gem. It's Chris' Christmas present to me 2 years ago. He spent a couple days writing it, wrote the different guitar parts and then layered them on top of each other using his recording equipment. It means more to me than any material gift I've ever received.  Katie's Song

After today's exam I've come to accept that I'm not the smartest girl at this University, but I'm not the dumbest, either! But the sign makes me laugh, so I'll leave it on the door anyway. I definitely could have done better on Phonological Disorders today but this bout of senioritis is just overwhelming my good sense. There's no cure, so I'll just have to suffer through it and hope it clears up. The good news is I've been in this major long enough and was smart enough to piece together past knowledge to at least pull off a B. Combined with attendance, my project, and the take home exam - whew! Grade = saved. I think I might even be able to still pull off a solid A in the class. Plus, I'm still riding on my good grades from last week - 92% on my horrid math exam and 94% on my Senior Seminar exam (also bs'd). I'm so good at this pseudo-studying thing! Why didn't I think of this earlier? So what did I do yesterday instead of studying, yo...

That is a sweet purple running hat you might say. Lookin' LuluLemon fabulous thanks to my best pal Julebug and her practical gifting sense :) And I even used the little pocket that's conveniently located on my head!
