I got engaged a little over a month ago.

That's it for this summer and I'm not ready for school to start again.

Currently Listening
Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd
By Pink Floyd
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-7)

Three more days of school, then 3 months off.  Hooray for not taking any summer classes.  I don't care if I never get done, I need a break.

I'm going to Ikea tomorrow.  I'm pretty much excited (I really love cheap furniture). 

Tom and I had our first big fight this week.  I cried.  It's crazy, but of all the fights that I have had with significant others, this one made me feel the worst.  We, of course, said things that we didn't mean, made ridiculous accusations, and I haven't cried that much in a very long time.  So much for Tommy being just a rebound, right Kate?  I love him to pieces, and was so scared that we would break-up, as lame as that sounds.

What a week!!!

Cheers.

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
-"Ruby Tuesday," The Rolling Stones

I'm so happy.

There are only 10 more days left of the semester, and so many good things are going to happen this summer.

I'm ready for this hell to end.  I'm so burnt out on school, but I'm over the main hump, and it's all downhill from here.  It'll be cake.  No more giant papers to stress out about...it's all finals.  I mean I have a five page personal narration due tomorrow, but I'm not stressing about it because it'll be easy...it's all about me, how hard can that be?  I have to read The Prince by Wednesday, but that's about it before finals...wait, I have a final this week...oh well, I'm not worried.

Jude is pissed off at me.  Stupid mothers, why do they have to suck?  This is why you can't live at home past a certain age.  They insist on treating you like a child even when LEGALLY you aren't.  Oh well, soon, I won't be there anymore.

I can't wait to start my life.


Thursday, April 06, 2006

It's such a beautiful morning.  I woke-up a minute before my alarm went off, and I feel fabulous.  I watched the sun came up with my coffee and cigarette, while sitting on the back porch in my jammies.  Very relaxing.  I could do that every morning.  I really am a morning person---when I want to be.  I love them.  Starting the day off right makes the rest of the day so much better.  I have the rest of Shakespeares' sonnets to read for E. Lit. tomorrow, and I'm not stressing about it.  I know that I will get it done, along with all the other stuff that has to be done for tomorrow.  It's so refreshing to feel so much better about life.  I've been in the dumps for the past couple of months, but now that spring is coming...life is good again.  I was sitting in my Linguistics lecture today, and I remembered for the first time since the beginning of the semester why I pay boatloads of money to sit there.  I love to learn.  I'm a nerd and proud, and I know that the rest of the semester will be better than it has been.  I promise to not procrastinate, or be lazy and not do my work because this is my passion, this is what I want to do with the rest of my life.

I'm so glad that I have finally re-realized it.

And, I love today.

Sidenote---this week is better than it was...my 20 year old dog died Tuesday morning.  There is a hole in my family now, but I'm glad that she is no longer suffering.

book ever published. You are a fountain of
endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and
never fail to impress at a party. What people love: You can answer almost any
question people ask, and have thus been
nicknamed Jeeves. What people hate: You constantly correct their
grammar and insult their paperbacks.

What political persuasion are you?
london
You are London - Known for being prim and proper,
you exceed all in being practical and
condescending simultaneously. When people see
you, they think of that aunt that visits for
weeks and never leaves a cup of tea unfinished.
Watch out for the pubs though, because they
remind others of your less-obvious violent
side. Chances are: you need pretty women.
