Snow!

I'm snowed in!

Perfect for fine tuning a resume. :|

Or for having an Emile Hirsch-athon!

Almost Graduated!

I'm one paper away from a degree. This is surreal.

BTW, I totally got re-hired for next semester. With a raise. ;)

Christmas List*

I want these things for Christmas. Cool? Although, I'll probably just end up getting it all for myself.

1. Sewing Machine
2. Tudors & Bones on DVD
3. iPod Touch (I ran out of music room on my nano)

Is that too much to ask? I promise to leave cookies.

Happy Birthday to Me! ♪♫

I'm 22! Who wants to buy me Ray Lamontagne tickets for this weekend?

No one?! Fine.

I'm off to New York now.

I may even get a nap on the train..

24 Hours? How Stingy.

Usually, I attend 15 classes a week. Minus Traveling. This week, I'll be attending 21 classes. Minus (extensive) traveling. There are not enough hours in the day.

Where do I even fit my Birthday in all of that!?

A Future Memory

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) :/

Highlights/Lowlights

Highlights of my week:

- 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!)

♥ 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.
