About Me

My photo
Hi, I'm Allison! I am a fun loving, adventure seeking, music and cooking obsessed 23 year old. In December of 2012, I graduated from Texas A&M University. This was a bittersweet achievement for me. On one hand, I entered the real world to hopefully out all my training and skills to use. On the other hand, I left the best place on earth where I had some of the best experiences of my life. Now I'm living in Houston working with Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Join me as I make my way out into the world without my safety net of college, and hope I can adjust!

72 hours left in Paris

Sorry for the really spotty postings lately, but this is the first time in a while I've been sitting down for a moment with Internet!

Yesterday was a fabulous day. In photography we are printing a book with a collection of each of our photos. Something about knowing your pictures will be in a book makes it that more nerve wracking to pick the right ones! So I turned in ones that had already been critiqued by her that I felt pretty confident about. It was so cool to see all of our work laid out together. However, I got a pleasant surprise yesterday when I found out Hally had chosen one of my pictures to be the cover of the book! I almost cried a little. It was the accordion man I posted in one of my earlier posts, but I will show you again once I'm published :)

After class, Christine and I went out with Emily for her birthday. We all packed dinner and a bottle of wine for ourselves and sat along the Seine near the Notre Dame. It was such a beautiful view, and just fun to be sitting there marveling that this was actually happening. There are definitely worse views to have.


After dinner we went to her favorite cafe for desert. It's called Cafe de Flore. It's a very old and famous cafe, and I must say it was one of my better experiences. The staff was so nice and it was just really neat to see. Emily had hot chocolate while Christine and I split an ice cream dish. I ordered a glass of champagne for everyone and we enjoyed the evening until Emily couldn't stay awake.

We've been trying to make the most of every moment we have left, and I think we definitely had a success tonight!
