Photo Shoot

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Andre

RA training has continued and it has continued to be fun. Last night we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner downtown and it was delicious! I had chicken marsala and pasta which was amazing. I highly recommend it if anyone plans to go. I would’ve had ice cream as well but I started to get a tummy ache so I couldn’t finish. But I definitely plan to go back since I love Italian food.

Today the RAs in my building walked across campus and took pictures for a bulletin board and had a mini photo shoot. We each had to take a solo picture and a group picture. I ended up taking my solo picture in Holcomb Gardens, which was great because it was a beautiful day! The weather was perfect and I wish I could’ve stayed forever. I can’t wait until I have more free time so I can go back and study!

Favorite Indianapolis Spot

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Andre

I previously did a post on my favorite on campus place. So today I decided to do a post on my favorite place to eat in Indianapolis. Though there are a ton of good options in Broad Ripple, like Bagel Ripple Deli and Buffalo Wild Wings, my favorite place to eat would have to be Cafe Patachou.

I was introduced to Cafe Patachou by my friend Anne during finals week last semester. Though I’m happy she introduced me to it, I’m sad she didn’t do it sooner! They have the best breakfast food and omelets. Each time I’ve been I’ve gotten something different and they haven’t disappointed. My favorite thing to get is their oatmeal and toast. The best part about Cafe Patachou is that they are only like 3 minutes away from campus so anyone with a car could stop by at any time.

Here’s a video about it:

Beautiful Weather

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Andre

The weather has been extremely beautiful lately and I recently went to Chicago to enjoy it. My friend Jessica and I walked around the city to see all the people, to pick up a new book, and to get things out of her locker at Colombia University.

We ended up going to a restaurant called Eleven City Diner for lunch and it was delicious! I got turkey sliders and I couldn’t even finish them all! I am really looking forward to going back and trying something else as there were so many things on the menu that looked good.

My favorite part of the day was sitting out by the beach and starting to read my book! I ended up getting a book called Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. From what I understand so far, it combines elements of the Civil War and vampires. Sounds fun!

Our view by the beach! It was such a beautiful day!

Happy Easter!

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Andre

For Easter this weekend I decided to go home and spend the holiday with my family. When I first got back we all went out to Olive Garden to eat to celebrate my birthday from last week. After we got done eating and returned home, I gave myself a birthday present by not doing or worrying about any of my homework. Needless to say, I spent all of Saturday doing it…

On Sunday we went to Church and to my surprise, there was a real live donkey outside for kids to play with! It was extremely precious but I didn’t touch it since I didn’t know if it bites or was dirty! So I ended up admiring from afar! Maybe next year I’ll hop on his back and steal him!!

The donkey that was just, ya know, hanging out right in front of Church.

KaBobs

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Andre

Yesterday, I got to catch up with my friend Jessica from high school. First we went to a local Middle Eastern restaurant called Aladdin Pita but got there awkwardly early. There was no one there so we then decided to go to Starbucks until the restaurant got more crowded so we wouldn’t be the only ones there! It was fun catching up with each other and hearing the latest gossip!

When we got back to the restaurant, it was more lively and had a great time. I ordered some vegetarian shish kabobs which were very tasty! After we were done eating, we said our goodbyes and I rushed home to watch the season premiere of the show The Game that my friend Hayley is forcing me to watch. I actually quite enjoyed it so I might be a weekly viewer!

But I cannot forget that tomorrow is Jersey Day!

Merry (Late) Christmas!

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Andre

Christmas has passed and it was a fun day! I started it by going to church with my family. Then we came home and ate ourselves silly! I could NOT get enough of the apple pie my grandma made and I also probably ate my weight in mashed potatoes too! I’ll be sure to workout twice as hard the rest of this week!!

My favorite part, of course, were the presents! I got everything I wanted and I cannot wait to go shopping this week with all the gift cards I got! I would have gone today but I’m 100% sure traffic was CRAZY! Instead, I spent my day watching episodes of The Office on DVD. My favorite episode is, coincidentally, the Christmas Party episode.

Angela is my favorite character and she has a big part in the episode which is probably why I like it so much! The only part I don’t like about her is her weird obsession with cats. Although kittens can be cute, I will forever be a dog person! They are much friendlier and you can train them to do tricks! Cats just lay around……. #dogsrule

Here’s a video of Angela displaying her awkward cat obsession

Cooking with André

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Andre

I’m finally back on campus and I am awkwardly excited for classes to start tomorrow! There’s only two more weeks of classes so I’m going to enjoy this year while it lasts! The thing I’m not looking forward to is the fact that I still have some assignments to finish for this week! This is probably more due to the fact that break went by so fast rather than me procrastinating! I’ll probably wake up early tomorrow to get most of them done. I have a really long break between classes tomorrow so I’ll use that time to get caught up.

One of the assignments I had to do was to make a tortilla for spanish class for extra credit! It was really fun because I’ve never cooked anything before so it was a new experience trying to follow a recipe! Needless to say, my end product looks nothing like the picture. In fact, it looks/smells really unappetizing! Hopefully my classmates won’t mind when I bring it to class on Tuesday!

Here’s a picture of the tortilla I made! Don’t judge, it’s my first time cooking by myself!!

Dancing with the Librarians

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Andre

On Dancing with the Stars last night, Rob Kardashian, my favorite, made second place. Despite being disappointed, I was also distracted by the fact that there was a Republican CNN debate at the same time. I was so conflicted as to what to watch so I decided to keep flipping channels like a crazy person! I was a little disappointed in this debate as there weren’t as many heated exchanges and verbal attacks as usual! It was just a disappointing television night for me overall!

Today I was a little more productive! I went to the library with my friend Jill and did some homework! Needless to say, I am so far done with half of my assignments! I hadn’t been to my local county library in years and when we went today I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has been completely remodeled and everything is arranged differently than when I was in elementary school! Me and Jill spent about 20 minutes wandering aimlessly trying to find a place to sit and plug in our laptops! Luckily once we found our footing, we were able to get stuff done!

I was also a little sneaky while at the library! Despite its strict no food and drink policy, I was starving and managed to eat a blueberry bagel from Dunkin Donuts while doing work! (Shhh! Be sure not to tell!!!)

Here’s another Black Friday commercial featuring a pretty ~~crazy~~ wacky lady as well! I never noticed the Black Friday commercials before this year but I love them all! Plus, this one takes its tune from the masterpiece that is “Friday.”

Whomp Whomp

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Andre

Before break started, I had a schedule of doing at least one assignment a day to get it over with. But of course that hasn’t gone as planned! To counter my lack of enthusiasm towards doing homework, I’m going to go to the library or Starbucks tomorrow to get started! Hopefully I will be able to get most of it done and not get too distracted!

Last night I went to Olive Garden with my friend Angela and her family. It was really nice to catch up and eat some good food! I am boring and just ordered soup and salad while everyone else got the cheesiest/biggest things ever! It was definitely a big contrast.

After dinner, I went home to watch Dancing with the Stars. I’m a huge Kardashian fan so of course I want Rob to win! He got the highest score of the night and his family was telling all of their Twitter followers to vote for him so I think he’ll be able to pull through. I also like his opponents so I won’t be too devastated if he loses. I made sure to vote so he better win!!

Here is Rob’s performance last night that got him a perfect score.

Almost Winter Break!

Posted on December 12, 2010 by Andre

I only have one final this week and it is on Tuesday so as soon as it’s over, I’m going home! I’m so excited that winter break is almost here. When I come back from break it will be Rush Week so hopefully that will be just as fun as break.

On Friday all of the bloggers got together at our advisor Kristen’s house to have a Christmas gathering. It was fun getting to know the fellow bloggers and playing games and eating food outside of the dining halls. We all rode in the same car to her house and since there was traffic, it was a long and entertaining car ride.
