Slow down, Lady MacDeath, slow down

I went and saw Sassy Gay Friend this evening. He was, in fact, both sassy and gay.

Afterwards, I went to get ice cream with some friends (or watch some friends eat ice cream; I ate a huge cone after Gator Golf this afternoon). I had one of those sentimental moments where I was really happy for no reason just riding in the car on the way there...that "we're young and independent and happy" feeling. It's quite awesome.

Earlier I went and mini golfed with some friends. I'm very horrible at mini golf, so taking me along was a horrible idea; I lose all self-confidence and give up trying. Basically, I'm a huge grump. I had the highest score by 10, but if you make a hole in one on the last hole, you win a free game...so now I have a free game card for Gator Golf in my wallet.

I've just been taking it easy this weekend, but then I realized that I actually have stuff to do. We're in the "final crunch" of the semester...2 tests before dead day, then formal (yay!), then dead day & composites, then finals week. But when that's all over, I get to move into my first ever summer apartment! I'm very excited...I've never had my very own bathroom before.

Now I'm off to contemplate the issue of the veil in France.

Being Content

So I'm spending my Friday night alone in my room watching the NBC shows I missed last night. Earlier this year, that might have bothered me. But my roommate is out of town, and I'm savoring the alone time. It's pretty hard to come by here...even when you're in a secluded part of the library, there are still tons of people nearby, and no one really hangs out in their car.

The weirdest part of college is not the first part when you come here and you're super excited and you meet people who are just like you. It's the second part, when you all begin to grow up some more and realize that no one on earth is just like you. At the beginning of the year, I had a hard time coping with that and felt left out/misunderstood. But I'm happy right now. I know I'm in the right major and taking the right classes and making the right grades and hanging out with the right people. It's really great, actually.

I woke up at 4:35 this morning and watched Wills & Kate get married live...because there are just some things you can only do when you're in college (seriously, I don't care that much. and i wouldn't get up early if i had to work or something). It was nice...but doing massive amounts of laundry this afternoon was nicer. Happiness is a clean set of sheets and a clean comforter.

Sunny day count: 2. I'm putting my rain boots away...

Cake decorating in a fascist dictatorship

So my fantastic future roommate & I have both decided to wake up earlier than any person should ever get up and watch the royal wedding in about 5 1/2 hours. I should really get to sleep...

I had a dream about cake decorating in a fascist dictatorship last night...in a mall. It was one of the weirdest ones I've had recently. Then the teacher in my dream told me I got a B- on my final paper...which ruined my vague dreams of getting a 4.0 for my entire sophomore year.

Today was a good day. Chapter makes everything better...I love getting to see all my sisters. And our banquet thing's next week...which means Olive Garden for dinner next Thursday!!

And I feel like my mom every time someone comes into a room and immediately turns on the tv. The older I get, the more things I say that are exactly what she would. I'm pretty sure that's not a bad thing either.

Sunny day count: 1 perfect day. It's the kind of weather that inspired the alma mater.

Charade

I found the movie Charade on hulu earlier. This scene featured two of my favorite things in the world:

Audrey Hepburn and German airplanes. I'm extremely happy.

The party don't start til I walk in...

The small things in life make me happy:

I can now spend my Friday night partying in Club Mullins...they usually close at 6, which makes for a lame party.

But I'm not partying there tonight, for once. (It was becoming a problem.) I just did TBS stuff in the band hall for a bit, then did the last homework for econ and now (I can't believe I'm saying this) I'm just relaxing!! I don't have anything due until Sunday, so I'm watching AVPM yet again. I keep on wanting to respond to people in my limited German...I'm so glad my oral exam's over!

You know how supposedly Big Brother is watching everything you do on the internet and putting it in ads? I spent a bit of time comparison shopping for rainboots (got a mad deal on them too) and now all the ads I see are for boots, which just makes me excited for my new rainboots.

Rainy day count: 4. I'm starting to like this weather.

The Tuesdays

I have been afflicted with The Tuesdays every Tuesday this semester. It's like the difference between the blues and the mean reds...except I know why I'm grumpy. I don't see any of my friends until 5:30 on Tuesdays, so I pretty much don't talk to anyone. By dinnertime, I'm grumpy even if I feel fine. It's horrible...at least I only have one Tuesday left.

So in other news, I read Anna and the French Kiss last weekend. It was amazing...never doubt John Green's taste.

Fayetteville has been experiencing enormous amounts of rainfall the past two days (Classes actually got cancelled yesterday due to it) and now I can't tell if my lovely upstairs neighbors of 245 are moving their chairs around or if we're in for another storm. My rainboots unfortunately bit the dust...or rather, the water yesterday in front of Humpdump, so I ordered new ones...should be here next week! They're going to be red...I'm extremely excited.

First blog?

I've never had a blog before unless you count the myspace one that everyone had...as I recall I only talked about the truly important things on that, like the Jonas Brothers concert I went to when I was 16. But today the idea seemed truly golden, so I decided to go for it. Also, I should be studying for my German oral exam tomorrow...but I'm not. I think I'm ready though...my friends translated "Black and yellow" into German last night at dinner (Ja! Du weiBt was es it. Schwartz und gelb.), so I'll have that to fall back on.
Also, blogging seems like a hipster sort of thing to do. And if it seems hipster, it probably isn't. That's something I've learned this year. I got my junior band backpack this morning...which means I'm officially halfway done with being the the RMB (sad) and almost halfway through my time here at the U of A (also sad, but slightly less so. Band doesn't have finals).
Anyway, I'll probably write for 3 or 4 days then lost interest. At least I'll have tried it. And if I don't get a summer job, I may turn to reviewing every single thing on hulu here. Something to look forward to. :)

Tschuess!
