I moved into Hope tonight. I wasn't sure if i'd be able to fit all of my stuff (I have more than I thought possible).
But it worked and our room is wonderful. I love it. I am so excited for next semester.

...Saturday, in the park...

Sat, 02 Dec 2006 13:32:42 GMT

So it is Saturday and I just woke up. I love saturdays. I don't have to think about anything for one day. Saturday brunch opens in 2 minutes and I'm desperately hoping that they will have breakfast burrito's. They are amazing, no, legendary. I have only had one this semester but it has kept me on my toes. Every time I go to breakfast i'm on the lookout. And every time since that beautiful day in September I have been disappointed. Maybe today is the day.

Merry Christmas to All!

I registered for classes today and it was wonderful! I love planning things and looking forward to new beginnings, it makes me feel all happy inside. (speaking of happy...I am going home in 16 days!) I found out that I have a lot more school done than I thought and I will definately be graduating in spring 2008. What a relief.

My goldfish is turning brown. It started at the tips of his fins and now its starting to go down his tail. I'm a little worried because it looks like he's rotting away. Is it possible for goldfish to rot? I was surprised that this little guy made it through thanksgiving, I was sure mr. president would want a little thanksgiving dinner too. oh well. I think I might name him. I was hesitant to name him because it will make me more attatched and he was supposed to be turtle food. but he's lived safely in there with mr. president for 3 weeks so I think they must be friends. I am moving out of Sigma in a couple weeks and moving into Hope with my friend Bernadette. She has a turtle too so mr.president will have a roomate! I think he'll like that.

Thanksgving was wonderful, but I am pretty sure the best part is that you can start celebrating Christmas after. I love Christmas. My roomate brought a baby christmas tree from home and it is beautiful and smells wonderful. I am working on covering our door with tacky but beautiful paper snow flakes. I love them. I love Christmas. I love my family. I love the fact that I am going home two weeks from tomorrow. I am super ready to go home. I've started making a list of all the things I want to do over break ( I like making lists). I can't wait to be free!

Farewell to Nickel Creek

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 02:53:31 GMT

On the Nickel Creek website there is a message posted saying that the band is taking a break of indefinate length to pursue other interests. I guess I thought they would last forever, that they would be an eternal spring of joy and inspiration. And now they are gone. Yesterday they had a show in minneapolis, most likely the last show they ever play there. It's heartbreaking.

P.S.

I got a baby turtle!!! and from what I hear these ones are supposed to stay babies forever! he's a little bigger than the size of a quarter and his name is mr.president. my friend bernadette has one too and we're going to have turtle races and turtle fights (tickets for the events will be avialable soon). I hear turtles get along well with fish too so I might have to see if he and mr. darcy are compatable because than they can be best friends!

and this is my adorable niece that I miss terribly.

And I should be studying right now.

I just got done doing my nails. there's something about painting my nails that makes me feel like a woman. maybe its because I've watched my older sisters do it since I was a kid jealous over how perfectly they could control the strokes waiting for the day when I could do my nails as perfectly as they did theirs. and now I can. maybe it has something to do with the whole experience of sitting on the bathroom floor clipping my toenails and scrubbing off all of the old polish, picking out the perfect color, laboring over the base coat and top coat and using all the tricks my sisters showed me to get the perect outcome of womanly splendor, sparkling nails with a glossy coat on top. I rarely ever paint my nails, but when I do its a very rewarding experience. it always boosts my self esteem a little.

I baby sit for this five-year-old girl who loves to paint fingernails. she always has to do mine. she'll get out her little set of eight colors and insists on using every one of the colors even though I always try to limit her to one or two. she'll keep putting thick coats of paint right on top of each other of different colors, never satisfied with just one shade and then she'll poor some sparkling fairy dust over my we nails to finish it off and I end up with nails caked with thick polish and sparkles. but I love it. she might get nail polish all over my hands but its so fun to watch her trying to be a little woman trying to accomplish all of the things she's seen her mom doing.

the most amazing thing ever

so i pretty much feel like a workaholic. and i just picked up another job.

joy.

but i really am excited about it. i'll get to talk with elderly people and clean for them and make meals.

anyways, i went to a nickel creek concert last night and i'm pretty sure they are the most amazing musicians i have ever seen (except for brenton of course) and i love them and they sang the "short people" song which made my day. so everyone should listen to them because i don't want to be the only obsessed one and they are the bomb.

and so on.

so i get to sleep in tomorrow which excites me. i am also excited about brenton coming home on saturday. yes, it's true, that is a mere six days and one hour from now.
