The Decadox

Michelle and I get to live together again! This time, we are joined by eight other girls in a beautiful big house two miles from campus. Meet the Decadox.

Even though we aren't in the same room, we are looking forward to hanging out and getting to know the rest of the amazing girls, too.

Michelle and I will also be working on The Chimes campus newspaper together, Michelle as editor-in-chief and me as a copy editor.

Our house by the numbers: 10 women. 1 house. 6 can openers. 0 functioning irons. 8 vehicles. 3 bikes. 5-headed lamp. 2 house plants. 3 bathrooms. 3 tvs. 0 cable subscriptions. 4 fridges.

A Night at the Ford

I'm writing this in retrospect and trying hard to remember just how weird the dance troupe at the Ford Amphitheatre actually was. Enjoying art and music is one of our favorite things to do --especially when we're joined by great friends like Christie and Amanda, pictured here.

Investing in cool experiences is always a great idea and our college-sized pocketbooks have taught us well to take advantage of our status as students.

Target graciously sponsors a dance series at the beautiful Ford Amphitheatre, built into the Hollywood hills. Perfect. Michelle did ballet for seven years (I think) and was effusively excited to see a modern interpretation of it. They did pretty well, but at times it was on the weird side. We were thankful for the program, which listed the themes they were trying to get across to the audience.



This wasn't our first time at the Ford Amphitheatre and it won't be our last. One of the nice things about the stately theatre is that it is right by Mulholland Drive, which weaves through the Hollywood hills and gives teasing glimpses of the L.A. skyline and beautiful multimillion-dollar homes. After the concert, we drove around for a bit, trespassed for kicks and tried to avoid couples making out.
