don't let bobby knight slap you silly.

ok. i'm in love. easily i'm in love. after a fun filled days drive with getting lost and what not, we made our way to texas tech to take the tour and talk to many many people. point one for making girls have a draw to come to college- hot tour guide. our's was named Will. will was nice. will walked backwards. but, it's not will that i am in love with...it is the campus. it's beautiful. i absolutely loved it. parts reminded me of LSU, with the architecture and what not. the people were incredibly nice and helpful. i was very impressed. lindsay even said that if they had her program she would apply. so, now the only thing i have to work out to see if it's even an option is financial aid. there was this clause with the out of state tuition where it said if you were in a county connected to texas then the out of state fee would be waivered. so, i figured since i lived, literally 10 miles from the texas border, maybe the same went for louisiana. not so much, but when i explained the proximity to where i was living and that i was born in texas, she gave me many options which could waiver my fees as well. one being a TA, which i was interested in anyway. i called my dad afterwards and he was so supportive and just said "katie, wherever the lord wants you. that's where you'll be." soooo...i don't know yet. i really liked it. but, i'm also looking at trinity university in san antonio this summer when i go down for my friend meredith's wedding in july and also st. mary's university where my grandmother attended for her masters. i have a year, i just like to be prepared. so anywho....

lindsay and i headed out again on the open road and saw miles and miles and miles of....nothing. we apparently lost our highway while on it and it decided to reappear about 2 hours later. fun times. on this highway we came up behind a yaht being transported somewhere in new mexico, since there are so many large bodies of water here. but, it was breath taking coming up on all the mountains as we neared santa fe. i took many many pictures.when we arrived in santa fe, i became utterly fascinated that EVERYTHING is adobe. chris and lindsay laugh at me b/c i have to comment that EVERYTHING is adobe. but, it's very very beautiful here. we went to target to see chris and got chased down by some man wanting to sell us magazines in the parking lot. he said at first that he didn't want to come near me b/c i gave him the "fuck you" look. if a strange man approaches me in a parking lot talking about edible underwear, what do you expect? honestly. oh. i love experiences that make for good stories, and the fact that my body language is oh so subtle. (thank you amy.)
