so there's lots.

my lover/best friend has been gone for almost a month and in a weird way, i feel like we're closer than ever really. we're both making mutual efforts to stay in each other's lives and it's great. i love having someone always there who i can call when i'm upset about people raining on my parade. a whole ocean has nothing on this dynamic duo. oh and for spring break, guess who's heading to the island?!?! :) holla!

school has officially started. 

my math class so far has been going great. my teacher is a developmental math teacher, so really she's  used to teaching dumb kids. and i love it because when it comes to math, i end up on the silent floor of the library during finals week sobbing on my table (true story).

international relations seems like it's going to be a toughie but Sonya is going to love me. the first day went like this..

Sonya: "You are all COLLEGE SENIORS. I expect collegiate level work and will accept nothing less. If you're missing a comma, you'll get docked. If you're missing a period, you'll get docked. If your header is half your page and you have the audacity to count that towards your two-page paper, YOU WILL BE DOCKED. You are all going to be looking for jobs and grad schools in the near future so I expect you to write like so."

and all i'm thinking is "oh shit.. um.. some of us, well maybe just me, want to transfer just for UNDERGRAD. no one said ANYTHING about grad school...that's why you get married...(hahahaha totes kidding) oh shit. " 

I feel like she's going to the the Drachulich of my college experience. Mrs. D was my sophomore  english honors teacher and her class was SO HARD. i"m pretty confident is saying it was the hardest class I took at MV. but to this day, i love it. I feel like i took SO much from it that I got from no other teacher. I feel like Sonya Conrad will be in the same boat. 

International Terrorism. the book is a hard read. i'm already a chapter behind and we have like book report tests. So there's no bullshitting this one. i made a friend in that class. i think she's like 50. but hey, a friend is a friend. 

ethics is good. the reads there are a lot like my philosophy class last year. long and dry. but my professor is really animated so that keeps things lively. 

work is work and my days are so long with work and school. i get up at 5:45 and i don't get home until 9. thankfully that's only on monday and wednesday's. my tuesday and thursdays are a lot more relaxed and my fridays are weird. 

tayter and i went on a double (it's like we have real friends!!!) with sierra stoppa and spencer vogel TO THE ZOOOOOOOO. SO MUCH FUN. I just LOVE the zoo!!! it's an awful place though, wild aminals locked up for my enjoyment?? sad,but i'll take it in case i never make it to africa to see a wild lion or a giraffe. the zoo is the next best thing:) and i love it. for dinner we went to street tacos! the ones where you think you might get like swine flu from going to, but here we are! a week later and healthy as can be! they weren't bad either!
i like to think that the boy and I are sort of like rock stars. I mean we made it through an entire summer of working literally opposite schedules, football season, a school year with him working, and now we're taking on a school year with both of us working. so far so good! i knew he was a keeper.

here's to good grades, acceptance letters, and chai!
