It has been one of those weeks. Constant stops and gos, if you know what I mean. If only this weekend was one I could spend curled up by the fire with hot tea just relaxing. As you can probably guess, it's not. Such a pity, too, because it's snowing outside and snow always makes me want to relax even more. I'm not lying, I promise. See:
Absolutely craziness. This is Luna, in case you didn't know.
So, as I said, it's been a hectic week full of tests, group projects, plans with friends, cleaning house, homework in general, exercising, and trying not to lose my mind. Today I decided to spoil myself for a week well done and go shopping. Of course, the one time I designate a shopping trip to be all about me I find a bunch of things for other people. Well, no matter. I did make it out with one sweater that was on sale at the Gap outlet and a new thing of OPI nail polish. I know I shouldn't be spending money, but every now and then I feel like girls deserve it.
Yesterday I made it through a five hour school day and then went to Jessica's apartment to hang out. It was so nice to sit and have someone cook for me, which Clark has not done in a while, and just socialize. Afterwards we went and saw the university's production of Romeo and Juliet, which was wonderful. I have to admit I felt a little bit bitter not being a part of it, but c'est la vie. I never realized how incredibly whiny and annoying Romeo is as a character! Don't get me wrong, I still cried when they both died... but sometimes getting older makes things seem more ridiculous and less romantic. Well, some things-- not all things at all.
School is taking over everything. I've had to cancel several plans due to projects and papers that take way longer than I imagined them to. I guess it's my own fault for taking some difficult courses as electives and saving some difficult courses for last. I met with my advisor on Wednesday and he told me I was crazy for taking 18 hours my last semester. He advised me not to take too many writing courses, which I kind of smirked at and then told him what I'm planning: New Testament, 19th Century American Literature, Medieval Theatre History and Literature, Introduction to Film, Ethnic Literary Studies, Pilates, and Running Crew. He asked me if I was trying to commit suicide. I said no... I just don't take the easy way with anything. Although I have learned from this semester that isn't always the smartest thing to do, next semester is my last so I may as well continue on with my ridiculous antics and take difficult courses. What fun would it be for me not to learn anything my last semester of college? It wouldn't be any fun. That's my answer.
In case any of you readers hadn't heard, another thing is finally announce-able: MY OLDER SISTER. KATIE MITCHELL, AND HER HUSBAND, TIM MITCHELL, ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!! The baby is due June 14th and I am beyond excited to be an auntie. I've already made a list of things to spoil the expecting parents and my future niece or nephew with. I told my sister I'm going to send monthly packages-- and I intend to keep that promise! Since Clark and I have some time before we even mention the idea of having kids, it's nice to be able to spoilt my sister and her family!
Once again this blog seems inadequate, but I am spending my Friday afternoon relaxing, so I intend to continue to do just that... after I exercise.
