Baby sheep, finals, and coffee addictions

My first  year at William and Mary is almost over!

This means more time for blogging as summer approaches

but it also means the arrival of finals and the need for a coffee IV

Much like the frenzied atmosphere of the college library the world outside has also entered Spring in full swing.

The temperature has finally become warm (dare I say even hot at time?!)

and our friends in Colonial Williamsburg have a couple new family members <3

Spaceman and I decided to pay them a visit in a celebratory in of classes moment

By the time I return from break this little guy will be much bigger, 

but I'm sure just as sweet

(we formed a real bond :) )

and I will have survived a three month long caffeine detox 

so I can start my addiction fresh in the Fall.

Cheers,

Cristyn

Insert excitement here!

Life has become a bit mundane.

Class

Practice

Homework

Repeat*

For added enjoyment add intern application or Flat Hat article.

The best way to end this tedium?

MUSIC!

Sunshine and Tea

I have found a new love

It has been a long time in coming

A slow, drifting fall from which there is no return

I can't keep it a secret anymore

I LOVE YOU, TEA!

I love Chai. I love lavender and honey. I don't mean to sound like a polygamist but I love them all!

I have been really trying to lower my abnormally high caffeine intake of 

two to three cups of coffee a day 

and what better outlet than frothy, creamy, spicy Chai tea?

or calming Lavender? or Irish breakfast with honey?

Today, students sit outside the Daily Grind to drink their mid-morning fixes.

With spring break coming up for us over-stressed college students in just under two weeks, the sun has decided to grace the campus of William and Mary to remind us that we still don't have time to laze around outside and soak up the glorious rays.

Soon, soon. 

It will be warm and I will be out on the grass everyday and strolling CW in summer dresses and shorts.

Sorry to pine away, but I really miss the warmth and the freedom that comes with spring weather.

This winter has endured too cold for too long

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway!

SNOW!

This is my first snow in Williamsburg! I went to bed after a well fought snowball fight in the William and Mary sunken gardens and a nice hot shower, though unfortunately upon returning to my room I discovered my unfathomable lack of hot chocolate!

.............

And this morning I woke up to this...

Classes were cancelled til noon, which meant sleeping in!

So overall a pretty good time over here in Williamsburg today.

Cheers,

Cristyn
