I've been meaning to post for awhile but things just seem to be getting busier and busier. Plus I wanted to wait until I had some pictures from the Oscar Party to share.
Oscar Party
The parties were a success. I had two parties back to back in different locations this year. I'm thinking next year they'll be in the same location. Moving was crazy.
The first was a "viewing party" for those who were interested in actually watching the show. That party had a few technical difficulties - we ended up going through 3 TVs that didn't work before we found one that did at the apartment complex where we had that party. Pretty stressful. But we ended up with two smallish TVs that worked so it was ok. I didn't get to watch much of the show on Sunday since I was playing hostess but I did sit and watch the whole thing on Monday and I loved it - although getting me to like it wasn't hard since Hugh Jackman hosted. :)
After the show was over, we frantically picked up and packed up everything and made our way over to my apartment where all my non-movie (aka school) friends were coming to an after party. We had a good turn out and had a lot of fun talking and playing some Catchphrase. Here are a couple pictures. For the majority of you who have Facebook - there are a lot more on there.

The hostesses: Kristy and I - we didn't plan on wearing the same color.

Norway
I turned in my application for the study abroad in Norway last Friday and on Sunday I got an email from the contact in Norway that vaguely said that I got in! I am very excited to have the process moving a little more to get me there although I still have a lot more to do to prepare everything. I'll be getting an official letter of admission and more information in May, which will actually be good because I need to concentrate on my current school until then.
School
I am entering midterm season starting tomorrow. I have either a midterm or a presentation due every day I have class for the next month and then Spring Break - I can't wait! I'm calling it "Hell Month" since that is pretty much what it is going to be. I start it all off with Finance tomorrow morning and I still have a lot of studying to do.
Other
Don't really have a category for the little else that is happening. I am trying to concentrate on work when I can but there isn't a lot of time for it. Mostly focused on school. I've been a slacker on working out but I need to get better because it really makes me feel better to get out there and run. Plus I am doing a 5K in La Jolla in April that I need to get prepared for. I'm thinking the writing of a strict schedule is in order.
And a request for those of you who use crock pots to make your yummy dinners - I finally got a crock pot! Can you guys and gals who have yummy recipes for a crock pot please send them to me? (Tracey, that means you.) My email is marnie dot stinchfield at me dot com. (<-- don't want spam)
Also - reminder to everyone that is willing to do so - tonight is American Idol and Adam is singing this week. Please vote for him if you feel so inclined. Just a request since the votes really matter this week to getting into the top 12. Thanks.
Gotta study - stress is approaching...
Glad your parties went so well! They sound like a ton a fun!! Your dresses look gorgeous! Good luck with all of your tests and business. I'll email you those recipes!
