The White Horse

• July 29, 2012

The hike to the White Horse was so much fun. The planning of it got a little confusing because we kept changing the date but when we finally decided to keep it on Friday we got it all figured out. We met at Tom Gate around 9:45 and then took a bus to Wantage. At [...]

The Things I Draw

Paper Dresses

• November 28, 2011

I spent a lot of time last summer watching television shows. I must have gone through about 8 seasons of various shows in those three months. My mom was constantly complaining that I was spending too much time in front of the TV and not enough time doing something constructive. So to make her happy [...]
