The Busiest Airport on the Busiest Travel Day

I connected in O'Hare. There were a lot of people there...

Gophers vs. Badgers

I watched this incredible game on TV since I couldn't be there. The first half was fantastic! My Gophs gave those terrible, ugly Badgers a run for their money! I don't wanna talk about the second half...

Ain't it the Life?

I've missed this little bugger. She is seriously the Queen of the castle. At least she thinks she is...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

For Thanksgiving dinner, everyone contributes and everyone gets to eat a good, hearty meal...even Jilly!

62. Getting the Gang Back Together

It's good to see everyone again. I've missed these crazy people. 

61. I'm On My Way

After a full day of classes, I'm off to the airport!!

60. Orientation Interviews...

I had my OL interviews today. I was VERY VERY nervous for both of them but I think I did alright. We'll find out in 16 days. After the interviews, I went to take care of some last minute to-dos before Thanksgiving. Thanks to the nice weather yesterday, all the snow melted and then promptly froze again. Riding my bike across black ice ended in disaster for me...

Viking-Packer Sardines

When there's a Viking's game, you can bet the Lightrail is going to be stuffed with purple and yellow. This week, the Vikes played the Packers so there was a good amount of green and yellow packed in that car, too. 

Movie at Coffman

Every weekend Coffman has a free movie in their theater. This week's was Maze Runner.

59. Kloooooooooos

Another Gopher Hockey game tonight!

58. Index

Someone just couldn't resist leaving their handprints behind on the frost-covered glass of the bridge.

57. Home for the Holidays?

I know Thanksgiving needs to happen first but I'm just a little excited for Christmas break. I'm already checking out flights. 

56. Any Space is Performance Space

Leaving a lecture and found this guy playing and singing.

55. Write the Rainbow

Brittney wanted some colored pens for studying so I gathered a few for her while I was at work.

Frozen Along the Mississippi

I think it's safe to say the winter season has officially begun.

Ohio State

Here are a few of the hundreds of photos I took at the game today. It was an amazing experience to be down on that field. I had complete freedom so I pretty much hung out down at the Minnesota end zone. I got a lot of really cool photos and learned al few things about sports photography and photography in the snow. I love the excitement of being down on the field. You have one chance to get that shot because things move pretty quickly so you have to be ready. I hope I can do this again next season!

54. Minneapolis

The city all lit up at night is quite a sight.

53. I'm Nearly a Professional

I get to photograph the Ohio State football game this weekend! I'm so excited!! Mom sent me this incredible zoom lens for the occasion :)

52. Busy Workday at Coffman

When I leave during the day, my usual level B spot gets taken real quick so I end up parking way down underground. I learned the hard way that if I don't park in my usual spot, I need to take a picture of where I did park so I can find my car the next time I leave.

51. When it Rains, it Pours

Except when you're in Minnesota, when it snows, it SNOWS.

50. And Since We've No Place To Go?

The snow really came down overnight setting a gorgeous white blanket over campus. Unfortunately, that included my bike which I usually prefer to take to class. Not this morning...

Winter is Coming

We have a Winter Storm Warning in effect. I'm prepared for the 6+ inches we're supposed to get with my winter minestrone and hot chocolate! If only I had my snow boots.

Who Hates Iowa?

We hate Iowa! But that didn't stop this guy from standing outside the stadium before the game offering free hugs to anyone Hawkeye and Gopher alike. 

49. Minneapolis Institute of Arts

My art theory class went to the MIA today. We had one hour to explore the entire museum and it was a lot of fun. I geeked out a little bit in the contemporary art and photographs.

48. Candid

By happenstance we ended up in the Whole Music Club talking to Lizzie and Andrew. Andrew got ahold of my camera and took a bunch of pictures. Some of them were pretty good (excuse the awful lighting). 

47. Boyce Avenue at First Avenue

Boyce Avenue was at First Ave today. It was a GREAT concert and a terrific night of performances by both Kris Allen and Boyce Avenue. 

46. Happy Halloween!

Since I was in Iowa for Halloween, I never carved my pumpkin but it's never too late to carve a pumpkin! Too bad candles are a housing violation...

45. Leo

This is Leo. He was tied up outside of Coffman so I hung out with him until his owner came back.

Above 600

Here is why my BG was above 600...it took all day to come down.

Never Ending Stairs

That's Brittney going up the down escalator and Dawson going down the up escalator. They were there for a little while.
