It's the best day ever!!!

Waking up at 5:45 to do yoga and go swimming is considered crazy by most people but that doesn't mean the whole thing isn't worth it. Kate and I ventured out in the rain at 5:55am to get our fitness on, and now I am feeling it. Every morning should begin this way, you feel strong, powerful, and ready to take on the days challenges. Plus Kate will buy you fresh brew if you are out of points, such a bonus! ;) Thanks Kate for being such an awesome friend and person! I'm really glad we were able to workout together in the early mornings this semester, such a great memory. It's just a window into our adult life, right? Wake up, walk outside and do some yoga overlooking the ocean, run on the beach, and then head off to Starbucks before our fancy jobs. I'm hoping that if I work hard now, someone will take a chance on me and I will have that great job that allows me to live an active lifestyle like this. And after our fabulous morning we ventured out to the one and only "Unorganized Bookstore," and it was one of the coolest places I have ever encountered.

1. The building is beautifully painted

2. The legs of the tables are made of stacked books

3. They put their plants in books- certainly nothing "bleak" about that

After spending two hours in this marvelous place, I couldn't keep my mind off of my second favorite building full of books, the library. And so we studied there for four hours, accomplishing more than we expected because our minds were filled with the next glorious activity, apple crisp. It's a Hannah-Kate-Liz tradition to make late night apple crisps here at IWU and today we celebrated the semester's final batch.

"It captures the essence of me."

"We deserve this!"

The tradition must withstand the distance! Thank you Kate and Hannah for an unforgettable day :) I may miss you Marion, Indiana despite the fact you are filled with sketchy people and resemble the slums. Marion is filled with some fantastic people, and so that alone will keep me coming back.
