A day in the Mission District

Day and Night

Hanover sunset

I spent Sunday night holed up studying for two midterms the following day; I would never have noticed the gorgeous sunset right outside my dorm if my friend hadn't called me and told me to grab my camera.

Birthday girl

For Zana's birthday a week ago, we had a girls night in. Baking cupcakes, wearing tiaras, painting our nails - it was a good time.

Happy 18th, Zanzan!

Snail mail appreciation

Being in the middle of a New Hampshire forest, I'm always excited to receive mail from the outside world. Recently, I've been getting quite a bit! Halloween decorations, various goodies for upcoming friends' birthdays, and tissues because I'm sick ... thanks for the love, guys =)

Yesterday, I was thrilled to find the latest copy of my high school newspaper, The Winged Post, in my mailbox. They did a such a great job! You can see some of the articles online here.

This morning, I was so excited to pick up a package from a wonderful friend who mailed me a real pumpkin and Halloween candy!

In this age of email and online chatting, do you still send things by snail mail? What's the best bit of mail you've received lately?
