This week has been playing 'catch up' after returning from Venezia. Not to mention the added stress of midterms! That's why when I get picture texts like this from my brother, it makes it a little more bearable:
 |
| The Duke! |
Although much studying was had over the weekend, there were celebrations for Jac's birthday!
And snow?!
And while I was doing this...
They were doing that -- Halloween!
 |
| Cam and Mitchell from Modern Family |
 |
| Kentuckians |
 |
| The Black (and white) Swan |
 |
| This is what the snowstorm did |

Post Contemporary Art Midterm cocktail:
And I got peer pressured into going out for Halloween. So I kept it classy!

 |
| Some Contemporary Art kids! |

And the highlight of my week was going to the Damned book tour for Chuck Palahniuk!!!
 |
| The tour was called "The Blow Your Brains Out Tour" |
 |
| And I got an autographed copy of the new book! |
