oooooh finals

well well well. its that time of year again. finals are taking over my life and i don't think i like it at all. i'm in the library with tommy right now, supposed to be studying ha but i went through half of this stack of slides so i decided to reward myself with a break.

i am not quite sure if it is the hours spent studying or what, but my blonde moments seem to be increasing in number as well as stupidity. luckily they are still entertaining ha but i am getting a little tired of feeling blonde--no offense to you ladies out there in the world who happen to be blonde.

so lately i have been eating a ton of dried fruit and almonds. and i absolutely love it. dried mangoes and cranberries are my favorite currently. oh! the word of the day today is oneiric. it means having to do with dreams or dreamy.

crazyness

i just have to say. life is so crazy and you know the phrase expect the unexpected? well i think its used so often for a reason....

we had nats bridal shower last saturday :) it was so much fun. delicious food, great girl moments, and scandalous panties. what else could we ask for? i am so happy for her and andrew. they are so in love and he treats her so well. like a queen and they are going to be so happy.

my dreams are throwing me off ha

so whenever i have a crazy dream it definitely affects me the next day. haha last night i dreamt about playing rugby and then some other things happened. if you want to know more you will just have to ask me.

i have always wanted to write a book. in fact i started one last summer, i just never got very far ha but i thought of a new title that really gets me excited it is.

nuts in a candy dish: seemingly misplaced items --if any of you steal this, i will be severely disappointed in you and (nat will really appreciate this) whisper parseltongue every time i see you

it is going to be about how life throws you things that you do not expect all the time. i'm thinking that i may want to have it just be a collection of short stories about different individuals but then the last story ties them all together. unoriginal?? could be. i think when i finally start it i will just go with whatever i am feeling haha oh this just reminded me. todays word of the day is megrim and it means a migraine or a fancy or a whim. so... on a megrim, i decided to start this blog. or write about my life because i just know everyone is dying to read about it. it's just such an exciting life.

oh so this year may be my year of insane adventures. i am going to india in july and now i am seriously considering going to china all next fall to teach english. i am so electrified with this idea. i am going to an information meeting tonight about it. i just have to say the word electrified is very powerful and makes me think of the movie kicking and screaming: "electric in the air" hhah
