Stuck with Snow. Stuck in Snow.

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:03:40 -0500

It’s mid-April. You would think the snow would be gone by now…but nope. Minnesota had a winter storm warning and we got so much snow. It went up to my knees. I guess it’s super pretty and such, so I can’t really complain there. But where I can complain is that there’s so much snow that I was stuck for 30 minutes in my apartment’s parking lot this morning. Regardless to say, I did not make it to work. I called my dad, hoping that he would come to my rescue since I’ve never been stuck before. But he had to go to work, and I understand that, so I just sat in my car, wanting to cry. After being frustrated, I decided I couldn’t just sit there and feel sorry for myself so I started to dig my way out. And after 15 I finally got out, without anyone’s help! This week has just been kinda shitty, and as I reflect upon it, I now realize that there are so many people who I am thankful to have around me. They’re always there no matter what and this week has showed me what real friendship is, even if the two of you haven’t talked in ages. When the going gets tough, I really want to just curl up and cry and not care about anything else. But I really can’t just do that for a week, sure I can allow myself to do that once or twice but in the end that’s not going to get me anywhere. I need to come back fighting, and stronger than ever.

Until next time.

Super stressed out and my parents don’t understand, telling me I’m being lazy and that I should work harder on everything. I’ve only been home for like 10 hours… and I’m really glad that I don’t need to stay here. I know I shouldn’t say things like that, but seriously. I just can’t believe they’re accusing me of these things. I don’t even know how to approach it anymore.

Visiting The Biltmore Estate!

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:02:45 -0600

Yesterday, Taylor’s family and I went and visited the Biltmore Estate, the largest mansion in America! The gardens were absolutely stunning, and the house itself was so captivating with it’s French and Victorian style decor. I was a bit sad that I couldn’t take pictures of the interior, but I did take a few pictures of the exterior and a few pictures of some lovely flowers in the conservatory. I was blown away by the fact that only 4 people lived here, although they had guests most of the time. The place was huge, and that in fact, might be an understatement. Oh, how fun it would be to live in such a grand place. I was very impressed with the stairways and the closets! Mrs. Vanderbuilt’s closet resembled something like a hall of dressing rooms, filled with clothes! Then, there’s some rooms that I never thought would exist, like the room that joins Mr. Vanderbuilt’s bedroom with his wife’s, where they would eat breakfast instead of going downstairs, where most guests ate, at the banquet room, and then for luncheon they would be served in the breakfast room! (how crazy is that!?)The rooms were elegant and amazing to see. It leaves you quite speechless. Most rooms are connected and it was like a maze! We also went on a servant’s guided tour, where we were shown the servent’s headquarters, the kitchen area and maids rooms. I would love to go back and visit again, especially for the gardens, since each season brings about different types of plants that bloom. I am super glad that Taylor’s family brought me to see this! I wish I could say more, but honestly, there’s just too much to say and words do not do this property justice.

The first picture below, is a side view of the Biltmore.

The picture below, is the front view of the popular mansion.

And lastly, I managed to find my favorite flowers, orchids, in the conservatory!

Until next time.
