Things

Yesterday I woke up and it smelled like summer.
I looked at my window (with the blinds closed) and it was gray and gloomy looking, and for a short moment there I thought it was raining, a rainy summer day, and I was quite pleased!
Then, consistent with my thinking habits in the morning, I forgot about it.
I got ready, made sure my hair was extra curly
(I was going to see The Cute Boy in my class)
opened the door...

I have to admit this was the first time I've ever been surprised that it was snowing in Logan. Which I guess tells you something about the weird weather this year...It hadn't snowed in weeks.
My imagination of the rainy summer day must have had me pretty convinced. I wasn't even wearing a coat.

It snowed today too, by the way.

{View from my front door - Not too exciting}


Next Random Story.
Last night I was pretty certain my body would forget how to breathe while sleeping with a stuffy nose. So as I lay there, trying to stay awake as long as possible, I thought about Things.
Like how half of the world writes and reads in the opposite direction that we do here. And most of that half is over on the other half of the earth. Weird.
And for some reason it made sense in my mind that if everyone started writing, and kept going for miles and miles, we'd eventually come together
(probably somewhere in the ocean)
and we'd realize, in that one spot, that really we're all just people.
I'm pretty that's about the same time I got up and made soup, because it sounded delicious.

Today all but one of my classes was canceled. The one I had to go to was French Cinema, at noon, and we watched a movie during the entire hour and fifteen minutes.
Best school day ever!
I slept in and even got to have breakfast with my roommates. It was delicious!

I have a little bit of homework today, but my classmate hasn't emailed it to me yet. SO instead of doing something boring and uneventful, like watching TV for the ten thousandth time this week
(that's a slight exaggeration)
I think I'll go paint something. Why not?

To Dream...

A Very Merry Un-Birthday to Me!

So I have excellent roommates and friends here at this fine establishment, and since I'm going home for my birthday they celebrated by giving me an early birthday party! First they blinded me with an "ear muffler" (as we determined it should be called) and drove me around in circles through the town, to suprise me with a complementary dinner at...ARBY'S!! I actually was surprised that we ended up there, so they confused me well. Also pleased since it's the best fast food this side of the Mississippi. We came back to our apartment to enjoy the gourmet meal and they sprung THIS excellence upon me! :

They even had a bubble machine going to match the balloons

Jenna gave me my own special birthday dance: And, if you're in the mood to listen to several minutes of annoying noise making, lend an ear to this divine piece of music performed by my roommate Jenna and my "half roommate" Sarah.



I got some very interesting gifts... including some interesting/disturbing hair conditioner, food items of delight, pirate eye patches (which came into good use later on), socks, and celebrity items featuring Edward Cullen and the Jonas Brothers! Wahoo!

That last one's an octopus loofa (?) haha.

Soon enough we felt the need to use the pirate eye patches to their full extent.. and so.. we had a pirate dance party!

We topped off the night with a nice bottle of Martinelli's and various photoshoots of our pirate get ups.
My friends are the best! I almost forgot it wasn't really my birthday. Thanks for a fun evening guys! Now for the rest of my birthday present....a weekend back at home! :)

We are All Connected

As I was reading blogs (instead of studying for tomorrow's exciting adventure, a test on the validity of political research studies...), I came across this interesting and slightly awesome video. It reminded me about the amazing world and universe that we live in, and how beautiful life is! The intricate nature of everything around us is miraculous, and truly a God-given gift.


OK, I'll go be responsible now.
