Behind The Scenes: The Dungeon

Hello there lovely readers! Confession: ok so I kind of messed up a little bit on the date of my exam. Typical! Ashton (my awesome study buddy) and I had originally planned to take the test on the same day….BUT unfortunately, by the time I called to schedule mine, they only had availability for the day after her:  19th. But I guess I forgot about that? whoops! So all this time (until Monday when I figured it out), I thought we would be taking the test at the same time. So THAT little mishap explains why I had you all thinking the test was Wednesday. Ok, glad we have that all cleared up now! So YAY!! One more day to cram a zillion things into my brain!

So I know I talk about this study business a lot (sorry!), but how can I not? It’s basically ALL I do. So anyways, I figured that you might be interested in seeing a little behind the scenes of my life this summer. Or maybe not. But regardless, you are getting a tour!

Essentially, Ashton and I (and sometimes just me….although that’s super depressing) post up all day and night (well, until I get off work) in this room that I now refer to as “The Dungeon”. And in this room we pretend to study like maniacs, BUT we try and make it a little more enjoyable with fun and brightly-colored markers, various-sized sticky notes, flowers, candles, and the like. We watch our “lectures” on a big TV and take some of our notes on extra large stickies so we can see everything all fitting together. I took a few pictures of the study space in this so-called dungeon (ha!) and thought I’d share them with you guys!

Today is my LAST day of studying, and then I take this mother-of-a-test tomorrow at Noon. Oh boy will I be a happy camper tomorrow night!! I’m not even sure what I’ll do with myself! Then I’ll take the rest of the week and weekend off (YAYYY) and start studying for the NEXT test monday or tuesday. I know, sad. But this shall all be over in due time.

Below, you will see the study essentials…photographed by yours truly on my nifty little iPhone.

 and this is the better part of my desk below…

so this is one side of the room….All 4 walls are covered in notes like this one. Yea, I know, it’s really exciting. haha.

and another part of the walls….

So that’s it for your little mini tour of my study dungeon. If you were to come and visit me, you’d also find multiple stashes of candy, Nilla wafers, a white  mocha frappuccino (with whip cream, duh), lots of nail polish (for entertainment during lectures), some DK accessory bags (for supplies), and a bagillion notecards (because they make me feel like a better student, even if I never use them. haha).

Please comment if you have something to say….It really does make my day!! (oh nice, a little poem!)

Ok that’s enough! I must go! xoxo, until tomorrow!
[Good Luck ASHTON!!! I love you! (don’t forget about PUFE-R, GALS BARE, SOC, and all the other “minutia” haha) ]
