I spent my 1st official paycheck on.. :
1. gas
2. John Irving's Last Night in Twisted River
3. a book light
4. coffee
Not bad for 5 hours of work. (minus my 8 pro bono hours) :/
Tag
Since I've been tagged by Farah (who is such a doll with the most wonderful blog!), here are 7 things about me that most people don't know.
1. I have the most bizarre phobias (i.e. birds and oven-mitts!)
2. I can absolutely 100%-ly live without my cell phone. I often compare myself to an 80 year old woman who only carries a phone around for emergencies.
3. I have an issue with authority. Not female authority though, just male. This issue usually gets my in trouble.
4. I'm an extremely old soul and should have been born in a different decade. You know how some people say "My whole life I was meant to be a mother" or a wife or a teacher, etc? Well my whole life I was meant to be 30. It's the perfect age and things just gets better after that!
5. Esty is my biggest time-suck. If I had the money, I'd spend ALL day shopping on that site. Until then, I'm stuck just browsing - for hours!
6. I seriously make the best playlists for any mood or occasion!
7. With my upcoming graduation, I've reached a cornerstone. I've got way to many options right now.

Highlights/Lowlights
- Got my first paycheck! (Stub is safely sitting in my memory box.) :D
- Got B's on all my midterms. Usually I'm all neurotic about numeric grades.. anything beneath a 85% I start hyperventilating. BUT, it's my last semester and I'm lazy! 75%? Party!!
- It rained last night. No sound in the world is more comforting when trying to sleep.
- Passed the campus church and it was covered in rainbow flags with a sign saying "love thy neighbor." This wasn't done in protest..
- Going to the bookstore tomorrow to buy John Irving's newest novel. I'm beyond excited!
Low-lights:
- My students look quite concerned when they see I'm in one of there classes. It's awkward.
- I took my niece to a park with a petting zoo. There was a hugh white peacock (or a turkey..) that got loose. I ran away from it as she ran toward it. Words can not explain my fear.
Ooh, time to listen to Jimmy Fallon. Listen? Why yes, listen. My TV screen is still covered with static so I can only hear my shows. Convenient huh? (Let's add that to my low-lights!)
Words of Wisdom - Rev B

Draped Tops
This top is my newest obsession from Old Navy. I plan on buying it in every color/print. Good thing they are only $10 each!
♥ always
I loved today.
Took a practice GRE exam with the Princeton Review this morning. I ran into several people I know from either classes or work (including an awkward run-in with a girl who wanted to make out during our lit skit last summer). Pretty cool we all have similar goals though. Anyway, my results: I can't be more average! Oh well, I went in there blind. What should I have expected?
Therefore, I missed most of Amina's birthday party. As soon as I walked in the door I was attacked by 5 year olds. 'Twas nice; but I can only tolerate children for 5 minutes max.
..I'm not joking.
Dee was dressed as a fairy and painted everyone's face. She is sickly talented.
Then it was cake time. Here is a memorable convo:
Dee: You're eating that huge piece of cake? You're such a pig!
Me: I know! What's wrong with me? (As I walk away from the cake.)
Dee: So... you done with that spoon?
I. Died. Laughing.
I'm looking forward for tomorrow. I might see New York, I love You before I spend the rest of the day writing papers and preparing for my week.
Funness!
& yes, the simplest things DO make me happy.
Chuck and Blair
Words can not explain how much I love Chuck Bass.
Gossip Girl will always be one of my favorite shows [f*** ratings!]..
..along with Glee, Drop Dead Diva, and Grey's Anatomy!
The Simple Things
Tomorrow is my first day off since September and I'm so excited! Eeeek! - Too bad I don't know what to do with myself, though! Maybe I'll finish my book and clean. Yes, that sounds quite perfect!
