All Work and No Play

Phew! Graduate School is a lot of work! I spent yesterday trying to knock out a lot of my reading for the week. This could not be done without copious amount of snackage. Cookie dough, this one goes out to you. 
Every now and then I would look longingly out my window for a chance of scenery. You grow little vines you grow.
This is my point of view for most of the day. All of my readings are too long to print out so I read them on my  iPad while typing up notes on my computer. Technology, I love you.
Snack fiesta part two.

Larger perspective of my life.
I would like to note there was a Doctor Who break. Did anyone else watch? I SOBBED SO MUCH. (By the way, ignore how messy my computer screen is. Embarrassing).

The day ended with me getting LOCKED OUT OF MY APARTMENT. Here is a picture of my foot as proof, at this point I resigned myself to living a half life by the mailboxes, never able to fully enter the building. I would like to put it out there that while I was locked out of the apartment building Roger rested on the sofa IN OUR APARTMENT with his phone RIGHT NEXT to where he was lying. Unfortunately (for both of us) he didn't hear his phone the MILLIONS of times I called (and e-mailed) begging to be let in.

Gosh Darn I'm Tired...and hungry...

Phew, what a day. Just got home (8:00pm) after a full day o' class. My brain is tired. My body is tired. My soul is tired. No more words...words hurt my head. Let's think of fluffy things...fluffy fluffy clouds I just want to sleep in.
Clouds are nice.My rooftop is also nice. Let's reflect with pictures shall we? Yes! Lets!
I would like to know who jammed stuff in this bench. Was it a seagull? Was it a humanoid? Just like Stonehenge it will remain amongst a fantastical mystery.
I like to pretend that the Hulk came through my roof and busted through this wall. Definitely plausible. Dear Sir. Hulk, Thanks for sparring my apartment. Keep it real, Katie
I'm not sure what kind of plant this is, but I think it is very nice.

Sunsets are also very calming and relaxing. Let there be lightttttt!! Ohhh Ahh!!
I find this apartment hilarious, look at all those beanbags in the window!

And more with the sky....
Le Me.
That's all she wrote folks. I have to go shovel as much food as possible in my mouth and do mountains of reading.

Ps. I got a syllabus today with TWENTY-EIGHT pages. Buckle your seat belts it's going to be a crazycray year.

First Day....checkkkk

Here is a picture of me looking epically into my future as a Masters student. I understand if you couldn't recognize me at first, I probably look wiser and smarter after my first day.

I have absolute no clue what this building is. I do however know it is not where I go to get my ID, I still am ID-less.
Check out the foliage on that one!
This just in I go to school at Hogwarts, I'm getting my masters in sorcery. 
Hello cathedral, It's a pleasure.
I got the first day jitters and ended up getting to school wayyy tooo early. Hark the benches that housed my bottom for a good half hour.

Anecdote: I got totally and COMPLETELY lost when going to my first class this morning. I spent a good fifteen minutes looking for a fifth floor in a four floor building, a search which took me to the roof THREE times (some people just never learn). It took some time but I finally realized that I confused the class listing as the room number. How did I ever make it to higher education?
Check out this wicked cute notebook I got at the bookstore!! It was labeled "Dogs wearing sweaters" Who with a heart could pass that up?!? I for one don't have that sort of strength.
My absolute favorite pens! Now I'm good to go!
What does this look like to you? A pile of books? Hmm..looks like $400(!!!!!!) to me!

Phew, I'm tired after my first day. Off to chug more coffee!
