mea culpa

Woah...

I'm simultaneously very happy and very upset all at the same time. It's starting to get on my nerves. I wish my body would just choose one emotion and just stick with it. Preferably the "very happy" emotion. But the part that's making me very upset is kind of hard to just push to the side or forget about.

New semester at school. Spent close to $80 on books and I've still got more to order. Who was it exactly who decided that they were God and that they could charge so much for a book?! All it is is trees mashed up with ink on it in the form of words. Basically. This is so ridiculous.

I have now gone two weeks without my voice. Or at least, without my normal voice. It's getting a little tiresome, I wish I could just find it already! It's probably the lack of sleep. Like now, it's 3.00 a.m. and I'm up. Writing. This is stupid. I'm going to sleep.

The Sunshine State

Florida is an amazing place. I can't believe that it's cold enough to snow back where I live! I haven't been this relaxed [or sunburnt] in a very long time. I'd write more but I'm off to dinner...see you poolside!

What?!?

I never in my wildest dreams thought that this day would come: Starbucks has failed me. Here's the deal - today, before going to see The Phantom Of The Opera, my friend decided to grab a coffee at, where else, Starbucks. She wanted to purchase that coffee with her Starbucks giftcard. The Starbucks wouldn't accept it. They said that they just didn't accept Starbucks giftcards. Am I missing something? They are a Starbucks, correct? It's not like she tried using her Starbucks card at a Guy and Gallard by mistake and was told that it couldn't be accepted. She merely wanted to use her Starbucks giftcard at a Starbucks. It was so ridiculous, and I can't stop thinking about it. Although I had a grande low-fat no whip cinnamon dolce latte today, and it was kind of like the milk at the bottom of a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch just warmed up - in other words, it was delicious!

And The Phantom was very good, for all those who were curious, even with the annoyance of the man sitting next to me who, no joke, fell asleep multiple times throughout the show and snored rather loudly. It was a movie moment, but it was happening in real time. Welcome to my life. And although I had the strongest urge to elbow him really hard in his very round stomach, I decided that it would be unladylike to do so. So I refrained. And it probably would have been really gross to touch his stomach, too, even if it was just with my elbow.

Free At Last

I'm in love with vacation. I'm more in love with vacation than I am with my hot water bottle, and that's saying something. I've got a week now to do anything I want, followed by a week in Florida where I can do anything I want. And last week? Also a week to do anything I wanted. After taking my finals. But enough about school.

So what should I do this week? Suggestions people, don't let me down.

And as a completely random side point, I realized that there's something going on with the nickel, and for some reason I have three different versions. Of the nickel. And I'm not really liking the one with the close up of T.J. He wasn't the most attractive of our presidents, and this picture [or should I say, embossing] of him lets the American people almost see up his nose.

Mmm...Tastes Like Chicken!

Today, I craved poultry the entire day. Must have something to do with the fact that I FAILED MY MACRO FINAL.
