what's in my bag?

Bare with me...photobucket is acting cuh-ray-zee at the moment. Hopefully it doesn't mess with the ability to view this photo.

This is my 2nd "what's in my bag?" post. I chose to do this post because I had to show you the nifty-awesome bag I won in a giveaway from Orchid Grey. The bag came from Pulp Vintage, an awesome vintage etsy shop that I'm totally in ♥ with.

1. Pulp Vintage leather purse

2. Hurley wallet my brother gifted me

3. Pens...my favorite one is the multicolored on the bottom: came from Borders & has cupcakes and little girl things on it.

4. Blackberry mt sister in law gave to me

5. Arbonne chapstick and Bath & Body Works pomegranate lemon lip gloss. ♥

6. Uhm, girlie stuff bag. Just the right size for taking to the bathroom while at work...rather than taking your entire purse and looking so obvious.

7. My life...this calendar has gone everywhere with me since last summer--I'll have to say goodbye to it forever beginning in July. It's being replaced.

8. Trident sugar-mint gum. At least I think that's what the flavor is called. I can't remember and don't have my purse near me at the moment. I know. I'm totally lazy.

9. Little change pocket that carries my work keys and USB's for school.

10. Why is this in my purse? I guess I was in a hurry...coral-ish colored NP...I added sparkly pink NP to it the other day because for some reason I have two of the same color and decided I wanted it to be slightly different. I'm thinking about adding some pale pink or white NP to it to make it a bit lighter/creamier looking. What do you think?

11. My favorite change purse--that actually houses change. I got this in San Diego a couple of years ago when we went to old town for my b-day in November. I love stuff like this. Fun, Fun!

12. Brighten pocket mirror that my mother in law gifted me. I love this! So pretty and handy.

13. My keys--car, house, storage, and many other keys that I don't recognize. I have no idea what they belong to--but I'm afraid to take them off of my keyring for fear that I'll actually need them.

Your turn!

What's in your purse?

ugh...taking me forever.

I cannot believe how long I've been reading the same book.

Since, like...February! Well, I did take a little break from Sieg to read about Jack Barron and what he did to his family...I love me some true crime!

But seriously--who spends 3 months on one book?!

And I'm only on Chapter 13. Not even half way through.

Geez.

What are ya'll reading at the moment?

Wonderful Wednesday

On Wednesday I went to my very first Orientation as a graduate student in the School of Social at Cal State San Bernardino. You have no idea how freakin' excited and grown up I felt--and still do! I can't wait to start the program...

I had to get there a bit early so that I could turn in my final transcripts to correct offices since somehow they kept getting lost in the mail. Sheesh.

I had to truck from one side of campus to the next to get them into the correct hands by 5ish pm that night. My left foot still hurts a bit from all the slippin' and slidin' it did in my new flip flops. I have no idea why one foot hurts and the other is fine--story of my life.

Anyway, I accomplished this mission and had time to spare to snap a few photos before the orientation began.

I never had any classes in this building--I think it houses all the business classes and that kind of stuff. I would often sneak through it though, just to get from the campus apartments to the little pond on the other side. I saw THE CUTEST skunk here one night when I was out looking for toads in the pond, lol.

The Library was and will be my second home while I lived on campus. Sometimes the roomies were just a tad too loud when I was trying to study or write papers. It was the only place I could concentrate. I love that they are open super duper late too--that means I can get studying done after my classes at night. I think they're open until 10 or 11pm! So wonderful!

This sidewalk was not here 2 years ago when I graduated...it's beautiful! This is a side view of the student union building. They have offices with all sorts of clubs in here--and there's an enormous conference room...AND starbucks, del taco, dominos, and all sorts of fun, nifty stuff. I think some of the student leadership classes are held in this building as well.

Then I came to the commons--this is where all the students who live on campus eat if they bought meal plans. There are some classrooms/meeting rooms in the lower commons as well and this is where I came for orientation. It was a gorgeous day in San Bernardio-not hot, not cold. Just perfect.

Photos of the garden outside of the commons. This wasn't here either when I graduated...there are a lot of new changes around campus, it's growing and looking gorgeous.

There you have it. These are the only photos I could snap before my camera died :(

There will definitely be more in the months to come!

How was your week?

TGIF!!
