springtime is wonderful, yet sometimes i hate it. especially today. i get nothing done when i want to go enjoy the lovely weather.
there's just days when you want to go sit in the grass, read a good book and share a glass of strawberry lemonade with someone you enjoy.
in the psychology lab i work in, i have the only "office" with a window so i got to look down 4 floors at the people outside soaking up the sun. i was annoyed that i couldn't go outside and that no one signed up for experiments so i sat there writing sappy poetry.

i want to make a wish. i want it to be the most important wish i can think of. yet still, i'm unsure if all that happened was true.
but it was real. it was there. we just don't know how to handle it.
that's how these moments usually pass...only a select few can appreciate it just right.
we don't talk about it really, just think in disbelief about how amazing it is.
i find myself doing the same exact thing today. sparked by a light i'm unsure existed.
sitting, wondering about what i want to feel. what direction i should focus this opportunity of energy on. but it's nice to know that no matter what wish i make, what direction i take...that surreal feeling.
the way memory has stayed with me forever. it's nice to know that i can have that, the memory. because no matter how short of a time, no matter how unplanned of a moment, if it really means something to you, it will burn itself beneath your eyelids, to the back of your head, and stay with you forever.

why is tomorrow my most hated day of the year? because my family has this crazy tradition where we all get up around 5am so we can go shopping and be at the stores at 6am when they open for all the after thanksgiving deals! honestly, what could be hotter than me walking around stores half awake with bedhead at 6am?
at least i'm coming back to Ames tomorrow. that makes me happy. although i am gonna have a lot of crap to haul back up to the apartment. thank god for elevators but i could always use some help...vic? ryan? you know i think you guys are the best neighbors ever right? :)
wow, everyone here is asleep. i'm not even the slightest bit tired. maybe i'll go work on stat homework. that would make me an overachiever but i bet it'll also make me sleepy.

i'm home once again. it's so weird since i haven't been here in over 3 months. thus far, 95% of my time has been spent napping on the couch in my pajamas. the other 5% has been hanging out with friends.
i am so far behind on sleep that everything seems surreal to me. i don't remember much of the drive here yesterday. maybe that's because friday night i didn't go to bed until 5am, but that's a whole other story in itself.
anyway, i will be back in ames on friday. so who wants to have a party?

i have to work in approximately 32 minutes. maybe i should get out of my pajamas. i need sleep so bad.
i planned on sleeping for hours last night in my nice comfy bed but no, i ended up falling asleep on the couch because at 5am i decided that i needed to watch the first harry potter movie. jennie called and woke me up at 11 so i went over there for a while.
lindsey is skipping out on work tonight. such a naughty girl she is.
we're supposed to be getting rid of the bunnies tonight. while i won't miss how bad they smell but i will miss the cute little things.
well, time for work. i'm going to be in hell for a very long time tonight.

today started off horribly. woke up around 7 to register for classes and my computer was being a major bitch so it took me an hour to register. that made me very unhappy as i do love my sleep.
woke up again at 9:30 so i could make it to my 10 am cuz i knew we were going to have a quiz. came home and had 2 of my favorite things in the world. coffee and raspberry yogurt. once again i am a happy girl.
tonight shall be fun. there's parties and people i want to see. it will be even better if i get to see someone that always makes me happy.

the anniversary - never die young |

last night i made my return back to the m-shop. i hadn't been there in so long! plus i felt all special because i had a connection to get in free. :)
after getting angry and not getting off work for almost an hour later than i had planned, i headed to the shop to see Thrice. they sounded pretty decent. i wish i could have gotten there earlier to see more than just one band, but it was still fun because i ran into some old friends and acquaintances.
after the show we went to welch where i saw a couple more people i knew. i also met a bunch of new people who were all very cool, and i hope to hang out with them again sometime soon.
hmm..i just got the sudden urge to do some writing. i think i shall. *nods*

Saves The Day - Firefly |
] |
so this weekend was quite exciting as the Giz, Limbo and myself decided to take a road trip to chicago and visit the wonder that is IKEA.
instead of filling this with babble about the trip i'll highlight some of my favorite moments:
* Liz's brother Brad proudly displaying for us the mullet that he is attempting to grow
* upon meeting Liz's other brother Alex, he casually glances at me, then looks at Lindsey and proclaims, "where did you find her at?"
* somehow missing our exit on the way back to Dubuque and having to drive through the Wisconsin woods. when we stop to ask for directions we get none other than a foreign lady who cannot even pronounce Dubuque
* sitting around sipping wine with Liz's mother on a Saturday night while watching Trading Spaces
* two words: popcorn balls
* watching Liz chase Bandit around the neighborhood as her mother followed closely behind in the PT Cruiser armed with a muffin for Liz to throw at the poor little dog to try and lure her back into the house
* finally, the most disgusting....as we are driving back to Ames, some chaps in front of us decide it'd be a good idea for one of them to moon us while slapping his ass. of course i immediately get blamed for this because of my "massive rack" and "flirtatious smile"
good times.

i had a fairly productive day today. happy i am. went to class, went shopping for some necessities, talked to 3 people i miss dearly on the phone, read ahead for my classes, went to Goodwill with Liz in search of a sewing machine and picked up Limbo from work.
and now i have been working on astro homework for the past 45 minutes and i'm getting so angry.
i hate physics!! plus the prof has to be a bastard and make you use your answers from previous problems to figure out the rest of the problems. so if i mess up, i'm fucked.
so:
The bright star Rigel in the constellation of Orion has a surface temperature of about 1.6 times the surface temperature of the Sun. Its luminosity is about 64,000 L. What is Rigel's radius in terms of the solar radius?
okay, so maybe it's not that hard, but i'm overly tired and my coffee is not helping.
good thing Incubus is soon!
