Wow… Tumblr is having some (HA 503) issues! But that proposal was so adorable!! :D Here is my GPOYW, it was taken by photographer Kevin Ross a few months ago… I just edited it!
My boyfriend is on a plane coming to Ireland as we speak! I am going to try to get some sleep, which probably won’t work. lol I am soooo excited! To procrastinate sleeping I am going to post some cool quotes. That is, if tumblr is fixed!

All over the place

Just when I thought I was feeling healthy again, I got ANOTHER cold. I thought my immune system was bullet proof, I was wrong lol.

But on the lighter note, I AM SOOO pumped to get back to photo shooting. I miss modeling so much, I feel like I am missing something in my life. SO, I have been in the process of planning a bunch of shoots when I get home. And if nothing happens after this coming trip to NYC I will build my port even more and try again in a few months. They change their minds a lot in the fashion world so BRING IT. ;)

My boyfriend is coming in exactly a day!!! :DDDD I cannot express to you, my dear friends, how excited I am. So many things have happened on this past trip that I just need him to hold me, and kiss me on the head, and tell me life will go on.

Also my best friend is coming on Saturday for a week. She wants to go to Italy, unfortunately I am completely broke now. Like seriously, I have been living off packet meals for the past few days. My one “splurge” was on a small bag of popcorn, and some cough drops. lol I just HATE taking money from my parents, but it looks like they are going to help me. Darn Ireland and not letting me work over here. But I am going to try to go on this trip with her, I would much rather go to Spain though. Oh well.

I have so much due this week for school. Turns out missing a whole week of class is frowned upon? Who knew? Haha, but seriously my teachers have been really nice luckily. They understand that I want to see as much as I can over here in Europe, but I still have a shit load of stuff to do before friends arrive.

Oh btw, its 2AM here, and I am as tired as a baby…

How are you my friends?

Oh Switzerland. The memories…

First of all, I had one too many beers the first night in Switzerland. I came home from the pub with some friends, my roomie was already sleeping. I strip down completely getting ready to pop into the shower, and realize my shampoo is in my suitcase outside of the bathroom. So I figure, “hey, katie is sleeping she wont see me quickly run over to my suitcase naked”, guess who was half concious sitting up in her bed staring right at me when I climb out of the bathroom? haha It’s funny because I looked at her, not really realizing I am completely naked. And she didn’t really either, she just rolled over and fell back to sleep. Also, apparently when she woke up to shower both of the towels were wet and I was sleeping in a shiny black tank top I wore the night before and panties with no covers to hide me… WTF, the funny thing is I don’t mind really, I am rather open with my body(ok with friends lol I am not a slut haha). But She is very reserved, so that just makes this story so much funnier.

So, that is my embarrasing half of Switzerland. But the next day I was a bit hungover… Can you tell from the outfit? lol (In my defense it was fucking cold up there and I put on basically everything I packed…) It was beautiful up there, Jungfroujoch, the highest point you can get to in europe without climbing! :D So Switzerland was absolutely beautiful. :)

Tomorrow I will tell you all about Italy. I just finished my paper now, and I am off to bed.

<3 Mandy
