it's valentine's day and i'm waiting for my valentine to shower so we can go to the bowling alley.  what!?  haha sooo romantic (but it's ok this isn't a romantic valentine anyway).  just got home from my third exam this week.  two more to go.  i do feel special having to go to the basketball arena to take them though.  best seats i've had in there too which sucks haha.  dead center, row 15. 

the only good thing about being really sick is that you have such an appreication for health after you get better.  i always take the little things like breathing out of my nose, not feeling my eyes pound half-way out of socket and hearing out of both ears for granted. 

i started feeling better just in time for all my tests and second interview with macy's west on friday.  i think it went alright- not great, but alright.  they should be getting back to me next week and who knows.  but then on the 23 i have an interview with kohl's.  they're up in milwakee.  i've only heard good things about that internship though and i think it would be really good. i'm kinda leaning toward it because not only do they pay you, they put you up in housing so that's probably like saving $1000 or so.  also, it's straight up buying unlike macy's west which is half buying half management in a store and i just don't really care about mananging a store although it's good just to see how things work anyway, but i don't see it as a career option.  summer in san fran is more appealing, but milwakee wouldnt be bad at all- it's right on the lake ;D

sigur ros is MONDAY!!  i will be so burnt out on school it'll be such an amazing mini-getaway.

go see last holiday with queen latifah.  it's really good!  one of the best theater experiences i've had in awhile.  i was skeptical at first, just like i'm sure all of you are too.  it's funny yes, but it's more of just a feel-good film that will make you appreciate life and stuff.  i even got a little teary eyed for .3.  she looks so good throughout- it's really fierce

i recommend it!  NOW

signed a lease last night for a great house!!  living with two really good people- hillary and katie.  hillary and i are soulmates.  i still think it's funny how we 'met.'  i just randomly came across her profile on facebook, noticed we had a ton of friends in common and like every common interest/taste in things so i messaged her ass and was all why are we not friends?  she said i don't know why aren't we?  and the rest is history    and then katie is her current roommate/best bud so i just met her through hillary and we hit it off too.  they're just really nice and sweet and genuine and real.  i'm soooo excited.  i don't know what i'll do with a stress-free living situation.  freedom is mine and i can't wait.

but back to the house- hillary's named it CLUBYELLOW at the bungalow which i love (check out our facebook group ha!).  it's yellow (obvi) and one story (but it's bigger than my parents' lol).  nice big porch, good basement with this infamous bar that we're just inheriting from the currents.  nice hardwood floors throughout entire house except for quaint black/white checkered tile in kitchen and bathrooms.  really spacious dining room, breakfast nook, wood trim on all doorways that looks phenomenal, my room has the biggest closet and a big built in dresser.  i know i just got a new chest of drawers this year but it'll fit too which will be good for all my sweaters and blankets or something.  there is sooo much storage in the kitchen- nice pantry area and tons of relatively new looking cabinets.  there's a dishwasher too, which i've been spoiled with the past couple years and could NOT live without.  tons of natural lighting.  it's just a really warm house that's cozy and comfortable.  i cannot wait to have people over- it's going to be ridiculous.  because of the best part...the back yard!! it's really big and two tiered!  like halfway back is this two foot stone wall and then a whole 'nother level complete with fire pit for bonfires!!  perfection for fall/spring time parties.  and there's a big garage-size door that leads to the basement so we can just open that up and the backyard/basement become one.  it was made for parties, come on!  annnnd we'll all be twenty-one!!!  just a seven minute walk to the bars!  i hear the neighbor's really cool too- like middle-aged father of kids our age who smokes pot.  clutch.

first week of class:  complete.  it's going to be rough, but i'll make it through.  obviously.  always do.

big things coming up next week...internship opportunity development and weekend getaway to the windy city coming soon...stay tuned
