I am currently sitting on the couch wrapped in my periodic table blanket, drinking hot chocolate, and wearing Kelsey's marching band SAX hat because it makes me feel cozy. Cause it snowed all morning and the outside looks like it's coated in fluffy marshmallow whipped cream.
The side of the head belongs to him.
I haven't gotten to reading The Fault in Our Stars yet because I've been reading a bunch of other things that I need to read (like folktales and information about maps!), but I'm super excited to read it. Likely, it will be spring break before I get a chance to read anything that doesn't have to with chemistry or children (though it can be argued that The Fault in Our Stars is young adult lit, but we actually have a surprising large amount of reading pagewise for the Literature for Young People class I'm taking...) so I will definitely be reviewing it sometime or another.
I realize that the end of last night's blog was a bit scattered because by the time I finished it, it was well past 1:30 AM, I had just had my brain melted by Black Hawk Down, and the conversation in the common room had taken a very political turn which just made me want to go to sleep. I am much more rested today, having spent most of my time reading folktales and analysis of tricksters. I'm now going to spend some time reading about maps. Yay.
It's been a while since I've written a daily theme, I know (which is why I'm glad I'm not taking the class) but I haven't been quite inspired to do the creative writings these days even though I love blogging every day. I've been pretty busy figuring out my class schedule, figuring out my traveling schedule, and, in general, enjoying life. My first trip will be to San Francisco next weekend, which I'm super excited about, and I find myself surprised that I'm at this point in my semester. January 30 seemed so far away during winter break, but it's 2 weeks into Spring semester already and I feel like almost no time has passed at all. It's finally feeling like winter with all the snow that's fallen today and it always takes me 5 extra minutes to get ready in the morning with all the layers I have to put on, but I feel more than ever that I'm grasping at the last bits of college life. I'm not ready to let go. It seems like just yesterday that I was high strung and neurotic about Science Bowl and about classes and couldn't let myself relax even though I had already gotten into college, but now, I'm content just sitting on the couch with my boyfriend, blogging when I could/should (you decide!) be reading, and getting distracted by Youtube videos.
Ok signing off now. Got lots of emails to send that should have been sent a while ago. Wah!
