...it's christmas time, in the city...

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh I am in such a good mood.

It may have been my coffee AND black tea (you would have thought when I told Robyn to pick me up a Tazo "awake" tea that it would have registered in my mind that it was not a green tea. . . ), but I am in a very uppity mood. It is wonderful. I finished my exams this morning--isn't that glorious?? I have nothing left to do!

Well, essentially. I have a pile of laundry that is waiting to be dried, and lots of garbage to clean up in my room, I should dust the surfaces, wash my sheets, make my bed, vacuum, put all of my books away. . .start packing. . .

but mostly I've been sleeping!

Tomorrow I'm going to be up and at'em however. I'm going to go to Starbucks and work on admissions stuff for a couple of hours, call Lyn, go into town and scope out prices for Christmas gifts. . .write a few cards. . .shop. . .oh yes, the daily meals too! I also will start a list for packing.

Just added a few things to my blackberry on a list! oh i love my cell phone.

Anyhoo, tonight is the "midnight breakfast" but it's really at 11. We get pancakes and waffles and everything. I'm excited, and maybe they won't be completely out of food!!! I've had so many carbs today, however. I finally did a meal exchange at Starbucks and got a coffee and a blueberry scone. I now know what my future breakfasts will consist of. I am so excited. Eep!

Before the breakfast tonight, however, I'm going to the senior apartments with Patrick to meet his PC (not sure what it stands for, but it's kind of like his mentor for first generation college students??). After that. . . another nap? Fold laundry? OH. Rob and I are visiting Missy. That'll be fun.

Anyhoos. I'm so excited to get home. I'm excited to sleep, to eat GOOD food, to watch movies, to see people!!! It's going to be a blast. Plus I have a goal in mind. I want to make use of all of my T-shirts I've accumulated over the high school years. I thought about doing this last year, but I'd like to make a quilt out of them. I don't know yet what I'll be putting on the back or whether I'll be stuffing it or what. . . but it should be fun. That way I get rid of all of my old T-shirts but get to reminisce about them in a way. Woot! I'm excited.

Well, I should get to working on these letters. Ciao!

I AM SO SORRY

hey!

I'm sorry!!

I really am!!!

I haven't written in so long, and I feel bad. Anyway.

Wow. Lot to catch up on.

Well, although my last entry states unhappiness, this one shall give off vibes of joy. CHRISTMAS IS NIGH. woot woot! I'm so excited. My art final is in, my FYS presentation went swimmingly, tomorrow I have to show my art professor my sketch book, turn in some FYS stuff. . . basically I am done. I have a few things here and there to do, but other than my Theatre project--I am golden!

Which partially explains why I am so happy. Another reason for my exuberance is that it snowed--it's so beautiful outside! Cold, but white and sparkly and wonderful. Another reason is that Forensics went pretty well this weekend (and we all got home safely). Another reason is that I'm so glad for all of my friends here at Ripon. They're all so diverse and interesting and friendly--I love it here. It is "home." My other reason for being so happy is because of Zach. He is so lovely and kind and funny and caring and ALL that good stuff. And I am so happy with him. ::radiates girliness::

ohhhhh me. Anyhoo. Just a few more days of classes, and then Friday!! Which is the Yule Ball, I think we're going to part of that. Tonight is Joyce to the World which'll be a blast. Pat and I are going to it to see the band (Robyn and Zach are playing) and then I think there are various things like cookies and ornament decorating, and President Joyce reads The Night Before Christmas to us. Everybody--collective 'awwww.' No I'm just kidding--it is actually quite sweet. I'm excited.

Well--NAP TIME
