one short of a bakers dozen!

12 random things about me (at the moment & in general).

1) I walk terribly fast. Anyone who knows me can defend this very statement. Nobody can keep up with me. Unless you're a figure skater. We are fast walkers. I'm telling you, when you're spending your entire youth gliding around like rapid fire on blades--you better believe you get used to the speed. Plus, I just like the exercise.

2) Call me George Washington but I cannot tell a lie. This is true. I am very uncomfortable with lying. I think I might have been better at it in my younger years. I feel absolutely horrible if I do not tell the truth and just cannot justify it. This keeps me out of trouble in the long run and it doesn't complicate anything.

George couldn't tell a lie either!

(remember the apple tree story!?)

3) I'd like to think I'm a considerate and sometimes a very sensitive person. I really do think of others. I don't want to intentionally hurt anyone, unless you intentionally hurt me--then it's on. I always think of the golden rule. I treat people how I want to be treated, it is so important. I believe in karma and try to always keep the good karma going. Sometimes my sensitivity gets the best of me. It's the Pisces in me (born on the Aries/Pisces cusp!) Sometimes I think I am too sensitive for this world. I think the things that happen in this world make us cold people and it's depressing. I'd like to see everyone happy. I want there to be no suffering. It's just unfortunate that the day will never come where that happens.

4) What I eat is extremely important to me. I like to view food as fuel. I like to eat when my body is hungry but I want to fill it with something that is good, yet beneficial. I am currently a vegetarian and really enjoying it. I really love when I'm eating healthy. Everything feels so much better. I even include a ton of vegan products in my diet. I feel good about eating it and I know it's actually useful to my body. Seriously; why do people drink soda? I don't understand! I hate America's issue with food. We have so many different people shooting out their ideas. People are hit with all this conflicting information and don't know what to follow. You're better off reading studies that are available rather than listen to people such as Dr. Oz. I just want people to be informed about nutrition. It's so important. You eat THREE times a day and you should know what you're consuming and what it's doing to you or for you.

5) Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to anytime when I was between the ages of 5-10 years old. I would be skating everyday, jam-packed with activities (ballet, off ice training, weight training, gymnastics) and competitive in a difficult sport (and doing well with it). I wish I could just go back and give a damn like I do now. I threw that potential career away. I threw it away for a lame middle school/high school life. Don't get me wrong, I had fun, but giving it up wasn't worth it either. I think everyday about where I could be now if I just showed a little determination in those ages. I feel like I wasted years of my life droning along in high school. Of course I did school activities (theater, cheerleading, etc.). It's just not the same for what I could have had. I'm sure there was a reason for it. I just don't know what yet.

Me when I was about 6 or 7.

I won three events in my group that day.

6) I listen to everything you tell me. I will remember anything you will say. & I never forget a face.

7) Music that is able to make your mood change is remarkable. This is going from any state of mind to another. Songs that make me feel sad when I'm actually happy are amazing. I love music that makes me move; when I hear it and actually have to get up and do something to it. I also love when a song makes me feel more strong or powerful or brings a great image to mind. I love when you hear a song in a movie or a show and always associate that scene with that song. I guess I love song imagery. I think I should make music videos. I always have a vision for a song--and a dance! :) Music is so powerful and has the ability to bring so much to people.

8) I love my job. I talk about it all the time, but I decorate cookies. I love the idea of having a specific trade and just getting really good at it. I was thinking today as I was making tea; "wow, those people at the tea shop (that I go to in the city) have a great job, I mean--they work with tea!" and I thought...wait a second! I have a cool job! I work with cookies! I am extremely lucky. I really want to perfect it and progress. It will just take more time and practice.

9) All this talk about approval ratings is driving me nuts. Perhaps this is my overload of CNN/Fox news this week. They keep projecting that Obama's approval rating is low, blah blah blah. Really?! Is this the same president that everyone stood so excitedly behind last year? The one who was going to make change, create jobs, and love the whole world?! Now, since change hasn't been made right away, people get pissed and ::hands on hips, 5 year old voice:: "Don't approve!" Get over it. Things cannot be fixed right away. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT defending Obama. But people tend to be more harsh against the president in times of a bad economic state. Bummer.

10) I am infamous for starting/butting into random conversations with people I don't even know. I know it could be annoying, but why not? I've met/chatted with really cool people that way. Plus, what do you have to lose? A few words is better than an awkward silence or a missed encounter.

11) Having good study music is essential. Be sure to have Pink Floyd, Phish, Radiohead, & Ratatat in your "study" playlist. I'm very specific about what I have on when I'm doing homework or studying. I'm telling you; Radiohead's OK Computer album got me an A in Earth Science. Phish gave me great grades for environmental bio class. I'm telling you that you cannot go wrong with these bands.

12) I love when my thoughtful/creative side comes out at full force. Those days where I'm driving home and immediately get the urge to stop at Hobby Lobby to pick up a canvas so I can make a collage of some sort. Or those days I pull out the yarn and make a scarf or gather up my beads and throw them around my barrettes. I feel productive and like I'm releasing good energy. Get crafty!

I don't know what inspired me to do that.

I guess I've just been thinkin' about random stuff and noticing/acknowledging it.

I hope your week is going well!

Tropical meteorology;You're great!

Looks like it's that time again.

Yep. That time.

The time where I start kind of freaking out about school.

Summer is over.

School starts the twenty fourth.

I am normally a really relaxed person, but school stresses me out.

I really want to get A's.

Math alone. Scares me senseless.

I mean...THEY THINK I KNOW BASIC ARITHMATIC!?

Good God. Who are they kidding?!

I will admit I am mathematically INEPT. I cannot comprehend math. I like geometry, but that's shapes and shapes are everything we see. Geometry is way easier for me to conceptualize. Algebra? x-y? WHAT? When counting, my fingers are a necessity. How sad. I wish I were a math phenomenon.

However, I'm right brained. Give me an open stage, a spotlight, and some music or lines.

I'm too energetic for things like math. It's just how it goes. BUT I WILL TRY!

I have some other courses I am anticipating besides my Business math (which really should be a snap).

1) Ethics. BONUS. Bring on the debates.

2) History in depth from 1945 to present.

3) Cultural Geography

4) Nutrition for food professionals.

I'm looking forward to it I guess. I have to get some notebooks and pens/pencils. I am a little disappointed. See, I really wanted 2009 to be the year of the pencil. I came across these AWESOME glitter pencils (see here)

So I buy these pencils and I declare "Hey, everyone! It's the year of the pencil!". I ditched the notion of my previous mechanical pencil adoration and love for ink and moved on to the trusty pencil. Yeah, so NONE of the pencil sharpeners at C.O.D. work. Really?! The toilets flush on their own but you cannot install adequate sharpeners?! Weak Sauce. New pens and pencils are to be bought very soon.

So I have completely ignored my Phish concert experience.

IT WAS PHENOMENAL. This was a great show. It was Tuesday Aug. 11.

I know awhile ago, but I feel it definately deserves a little recognition.

Setlist:

I: Kill Devil Falls, Sample in a Jar, Ocelot, Paul and Silas, Windy City, The Curtain With, Train Song, Gumbo, Heavy Things, Time Turns Elastic
II: Backwards Down The Number Line> Carini, Gotta Jibboo, Theme from the Bottom, Wilson, Also Sprach Zarathustra> Chalkdust Torture, Harry Hood, The Squirming Coil
E: Loving Cup

This show was packed full of great songs and the crowd was a great one. They were in a jammin mood for sure and they played some great songs. WILSON! I cannot even believe they played it! Loving Cup too, WOW! Harry Hood! GOTTA JIBBOO! HEAVY THINGS! AH! I get so excited just thinking about it (I am sure you noticed). We were in Toyota Park and since it's a soccer field, we opted to buy seats because the floor would all be level, we wanted to really see the show. This was a GREAT move. We were able to have an angle view down onto the field and see all the activity. The whole field was covered and all the seats were filled and it was a perfect night. We were really lucky! During a piano solo everyone had the lighter flick goin and to look down at the crowd and see all the lighters and glowsticks in the air, I love seeing music bring people together and how it makes you feel so powerful and part of something. It was such a wonderful evening.

Wow. What an all over the place post. Sorry about the un-organized thoughts. But if our thoughts were all organized then what's the point of blogging? So all in all' I love Phish, I am nervous/anxious about school starting again, and I thought I loved glitter pencils but sharpeners hate me.

Enjoy the weekend!

Hope classes don't start just yet for you & you can still enjoy more summer freedom!

"review the press & tell it like it is, your life is hype, your love is hype."

I have no clue what this post is going to say or be about.

This weekend was a whirlwind. I had work on Thursday and Friday and got out at 7:45pm both nights. This huge change in schedule is still so unusual for me. I am really glad that I get to enjoy my summer nights though. Both Thursday and Friday I hung out with Meredith and her friend/roommate Stephanie. We had a really good time and it was fun hanging out with them because I never see Meredith that much anymore and it was good to meet someone new. Basically we just smoked hookah both nights and hung out.

Can I just note this amazing weather right now? 25-30 mph winds, blue sky, 82 degrees. Cannot beat that. I wish I could be enjoying it. What a great day for a long long walk :( The sad face is because I have been feeling sick all day. I'm not pushing it. I had the chills last night and felt sick then so I am glad I have nothing to do today and nothing for tomorrow except skating (If I go).

So a few random things to note about the weekend.

1) I starting outlining a week or two ago at my cookie job: I decorated this whole tray on my own! I'm proud because I was so nervous to start outlining orders. I guess I have really learned how much strength to use for what and how to be steady. I love outlining. My favorites are the turtles for SURE. ha ha. The lone turtle on the stick was one I just decorated for fun and ended up giving it to Josh at work. I decorated it and didn't know who to give it to. I called Jamba to see who was working and Josh was convincing me to come in and visit. So I decided he deserved the cookie. I wrote his name on it and dropped it off at work. I think he was pleasantly suprised :)

2) Other big exciting news!: I'm seeing PHISH again in August! I am so excited! I fell in love with this band even more after I saw them about a week ago at Deer Creek. Clarissa confirmed she got the tickets today :)

3) I have to go get more barrettes to bead!

4) I saw Transformers 1 on Wednesday...I know. I'm behind.

5) Did anyone else have Mrs. Grass soup when you were kids? I haven't had it in years..and now that I'm sick, I am thinking tonight might be the perfect night to have some.

6) I had Spaghetti-o's & Meatballs the other night in the shape of Disney princesses. No regrets.

Okay. Well that is all I've got in me. I am very tired, I have an un-read Vogue sitting next to me that wants to be read. Have a good day. Go outside and enjoy this sunny Sunday for me!

"..race and never waste the day"

So. Today is Monday. In two minutes it will be Tuesday. Hm.

Today went well. I woke up at the grand hour of 6:15 (I actually woke up 1 second before my alarm went off) and I opened Jamba Juice. The good news here is that I worked with Ambre and we are pretty crazy so shifts are fun and very spontaneous. I only worked until eleven and after my shift I headed over to the rink. Today it was interesting because I did freestyle skates. I never ever do these. First off, they are most likely all competitive skaters who know what they are doing. So unlike public skates, I have the advantage of knowing my edges and I'm aware of others and other are aware of me. On freestyle, everyone has that skill, so everyone is just all over the place jumping and spinning and getting lessons. I don't really like it. Sometimes, it makes me nervous as hell to be on freestyle. Sometimes I look around and wonder what is happening to the sport. Quality seems to be barely there and the lack in emotions in their skating. Ay yay yay! However, it was a decent skate. I cannot be too disappointed. I have not been on the ice in a week and underwent a long weekend of camping and laziness. I cannot go in expecting to be my best, but it was satisfying overall.

I came home from skating and went to lunch with Ambre at Noodles. I was craving a greek salad and it was the only place I could think of in a 4 mile radius where I could get a cheap fix. I went home and just hung around and filled time until 7:30 where Matthew picked me up for dinner. We went to Stir Crazy. We go here every so often. Most of the staff knows who we are including the manager. I enjoy getting a good amount of food for a reasonable price. I also like choosing everything that goes into my meal (they have a market bar). A lot of people that live around here will tell you Mongolian BBQ is the way to go. By the way everyone, that place is god awful. Ugh. I'm not saying Stir Crazy is the best, but Mongo is the worst. Just saying.

After dinner we went to Le Chocolat so I could get my chocolate fix. Matthew tried out the new location for the Gelato place. MAN OH MAN! This place is so good! It's on Jefferson in downtown Naperville. We originally wanted to rent Transformers (I have not seen it yet) to end the night with but they were out so we lucked out with Weeds Season 4! We had no clue it was out yet! We only were able to watch 2 episodes, but I cannot wait to finish it!

I work tomorrow at 2. I havent worked in a week! How odd. I am looking forward to decorating again and getting out some creativity. So....speaking of the weather channel... I have to vent about the new little line up they have going on. For all you non-weather channel watchers, I'll give you the scoop. Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes are definately the best two on the channel. They both have high energy and wit. I like that. They were on at 6pm-8pm. Jen Carfagno and Nicole Mitchell were on in the mornings at 6-9am. Paul Goodloe and Alexandra Steele were on from 9pm-12pm. Something like that. I posted once before about the late team acting pretty loosey goosey while they were informing us about the latest conditions...WELL they changed all of this around and I don't really like it. They is, I'm not used to it. Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes are now the new morning tag team. The good news about this is that Atleast I will always get to catch them. They are a good energetic team too for wakin up the people. Paul Goodloe and Alexandra Steele are spilt up and Paul is still on late nights but now with Nicole Mitchell, which I do not enjoy, and Alexandra Steele is now on in the afternoon with Jim Cantore. BLAH. I liked to watch wasted weather! Now that the good ol tag team is split up, I'm not sure if 10 pm weather is as fun anymore. ha ha.

Also! I was sent some pics today of the Phish Concert!:

Matthew and I

Gosh! What a great weekend! I am off to bed. I am so tired. Have a wonderful night! Remember to drink tea and water tomorrow! (Atleast one or the other--do your body a favor)

GONE PHiSHING.

Wow! The past few days have been jam packed with a bunch of different events. We shall start off with Wednesday...

My Malta party ended up being really great. Mostly everyone was here by 4:15 and we just socialized and ate, as planned. I really like being around them because they are the only people I know of that have some of the same memories as I do. We all absolutely loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. There is "always that draw of Malta" when deciding where to travel next. I topped the night off with seeing Matthew and meeting his good friend Adam, who I have only been hearing about for two years. It was good to put a face to the name.

Thursday is when it all really started. Anticipating rain, everyone was pretty geared up and prepared. Keep in mind, it was supposed to rain Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. We ended up leaving for camp around 11:50 am and headed to Noblesville, IN. We made a pit stop at the beloved Fair Oaks Farm and got our fixes for some damn good cheese and ice cream. So delicious. It makes all other grilled cheeses a waste of your time. We ended up getting to camp around 3. We found a great spot around some trees and some other established camping sites. We got things set up pretty quickly and started our fire. To our luck, the weather was perfect. Clear skies, sunny, no rain. It was all we could have asked for. The campers were all excited and getting into the groove of camping; listening to music, makin fires, walking around greeting people, the works. It was a good atmosphere. Looking back, it seemed like all we did thursday was have a lot of good laughs and walk to the bathrooms. Or should I say the nasty portable johns lined up across the campsite. It was actually a little muddy in certain areas before we got there so this made it harder as the night progressed. None of us carried out a big urge to sleep so we all pretty much were coherent till 5am. Some of the party opted not to sleep, however, I need a few hours to keep me going. We had two tents, one for John & Brian (a 3-4 person sleeper) and one for my John (my brother), Clarissa, Matthew, and I (which was three rooms). Needless to say, everyone was damn comfortable where they were. We were ultra prepared too, making it all the easier.

On Friday, I woke up around 11. It was nice to get a few hours of shut eye and boy did I sleep well. Everyone was getting excited for Phish, especially since we woke up to clear, sunny skies. How great! We hung out, made a fire for breakfast and made some donuts and eggs on the grill we brought. Good stuff for sure. Oh! We even made coffee! It was like luxury camping ha ha. The doors opened at 6:30 but we got there early- around 4:45pm. There are always a ton of vendors outside the show selling a whole bunch of things. Shirts, food, jewelery, you name it. We strolled through that and poked around until doors opened. Matthew had a meeting back home at 11am the next morning (saturday) so he knew he was going to leave the show at 9:30. So we all get settled and wait for Phish to start jammin. The weather was still really holding up. It was perfect out. A good breeze with a few clouds in the mix. It looked a little messy, but weather patterns are so unpredictable, so something off in the distance doesn't necessarily mean it will effect you. They came on around 8 and played a great set; AC/DC Bag > Limb By Limb > The Moma Dance > Water In The Sky > Split Open and Melt > Lawn Boy > The Wedge > Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan > The Connection > Ocelot > Fluffhead. I was pretty happy with this. They sounded GREAT. The stage effects were great and I got what I expected. I held high standards since, like I said, I enjoy their live stuff the best. I really wanted them to play Weekapaug Groove, The Divided Sky, Golgi Apparatus, Bouncin Round The Room, Character Zero, or a Sweet Jane cover (& many others). But I liked what they played. Their Fluffhead performance was pretty much an encore kind of performance, which was good for what happened next. So I walked Matt out at 9:30 (2 songs before set break) and got re-aquainted in our spot...

At this point, the lightning really started to flare up. Not vertical lightning, horizontal. It was so crazy. People were applauding each time a huge number of bolts made their way across the sky over us. It was really beautiful, but a little threatening looking. Instead of Phish coming out to start playing again, they announce that all people in the lawn area (that would be us) had to go back to their cars because a severe storm was just about to hit us. They also informed us that they would be restarting the show at 11pm. It was expected to move through quickly. We all slowly made our way out to the car (just the people in the lawn, people in pavillion got to stay). We were like cattle trying to make our way through and once we got back to the car, we decided, soaking wet, that we were all really happy with the set we saw and did not want to have to deal with the large mass of people once again. So we played some live Phish in the car and headed out. I am happy with our decision and am so glad I saw them. We oddly enough ended up going to Red Robin for a dinner. Ha Ha. It was SO odd going from a Phish concert to a chain restaurant. The rain ended up taking a pause for an hour or two. As we got back to camp, Brian & John decided to hit the road instead of waiting till morning. Off they went, and then there were three.

I am glad I didn't go with Matthew back home. I was able to help John and Clarissa out with anything in the morning. Once we were all parked and settled in the tent, we heard a few rumbles of thunder. This was followed by some really really bad downpours. The winds were really strong too. I cannot even beleive how hard it was raining. It was terrifying at one point because Clarissa and I literally heard "the train sound". It sounded like a tornado was going through that place. Luckily the rain died down and we were all able to take off our ponchos and relax. We ended the night with a game of war.

This morning /daywas pretty whatever. I slept like a lamb and then got up around 7am helped clean up. Drove home (left around 8:45am) We ended up making decent time and got home around 1. We sat down to eat and hit some traffic. When i got home I hung out with Danielle and we finally caught eachother up on our busy lives, and then I hung out with Matthew. We ended up meeting up with Eric and that was fun. However, I am VERY tired. I need more sleep! Sorry for making the longest post around, just wanted to dish about the concert! What a great weekend! I am so so so glad the weather held off. All we really wanted to do last night was just kind of lay low anyways. I HOPE PHISH COMES AROUND NEXT YEAR!

-Tessabee

mesocyclone. alright.

Why, hello there.

So, originally I was not going to blog, but before I hung up with Matthew he asked "Are you going to blog tonight?" I replied, "Nah, I will tomororw, I do not have anything to write about." But low and behold, I have decided that tomorrow might just too busy to sit down and catch up on the week. Tomorrow is quite the day! These past two days have been nice.

Monday was monday. Opened--atleast it was with Ambre. I like working with her a lot and am so glad she got hired there a few months ago. I went on a long rollerblade after work, went home, showered, went to lunch with Matthew! (Butterfields) You cannot beat that! After I went on a walk with Ambre (funny seeing her twice in one day) and then the day just kind of went along from there. Dinner, hung out with Matthew, the usual. You know how it goes.

Today(Tuesday)--really yesterday: all I did was go on a long morning walk with Ambre and go to work. Work was very productive. Did a lot of glazing along with doing more detail and outlining. It feels much more satisfying to have completed more of a cookie than just filling it in. It seems to go faster if you're outlining and filling in, because you have the color in your hand and can just go from there. Work got out at 12:45ish tonight. Not too bad, although I will have to admit it was way later than I expected. I guess I cannot be too upset because I have the rest of the week off.

The rest of this week brings great things. Great things planned I should say. I cannot put too much into anything. I AM HAVING MY MALTA REUNION PARTY TOMORROW! Wow--you know I mean business when I do all caps. I am so excited. All the people (well, some of the people) I went to Malta with are coming over tomorrow night for a few hours to eat, drink, socialize and spill our memories of the fantastic little country. I love those people so it will be a really nice time tomorrow.

However, I have other big news! SEEING PHISH ON FRIDAY! This is a great crowd we have put together. Matthew, myself, My brother (John), My sister-in-law (Clarissa), Brian, and some people my brother knows. It is supposed to rain, but hopefully it will stay clear of us. I am really excited. I love Phish live, they are so great, so it will be great just to hear them and watch them play their music before our eyes. That's such a satisfying feeling. We are also going to camp at an onsite area. I've only been counting a handful of times, but I am expecting this to be the best. I really just hope weather is tolerable. It would be crummy to have some bad storms hit the area. We come back Saturday. It will be SO nice to get out of here. Sometimes I feel so trapped in suburbia. I hate that. Especially in the summer. I'm outdoors alot, but I'm always doing the same stuff. I want new terrain. ANNYYWAYSS. Matthew and I have to drive seperately down to the camp but we plan on stopping at Fair Oaks Farm on the way for an even settlement. I LOVE that place! GRILLED CHEESE LIKE WHATTTTT!?! My mouth is literally watering for a FOR grilled cheese sammer! It's a great place in Indiana. You all must go.

Well, I am very tired and have a longggg day ahead of me tomorrow. Getting my liscenced renewed tomorrow in the A.M. I hope you are all enjoying sleep right now! Don't forget to stretch and drink lots of water!

discombobulated!

Aloha

There are currently 3 good songs I'm really enjoying at this very point in time (they change ALL the time) Click to hear the song.

1) Starlight by MUSE (on their harp album especially)

2) L'amour est un Oiseau Rebelle remixed by Gorillaz by Gorillaz (this is bizarre-I love it)

3) Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band. I feel this band is odd because it is almost cool to either hate them or love them.  I think they are really talented as a whole and produce good work. I really think this song was written about/for me sometimes, ha ha. I love when a song is so relative. But then again, Everything is relative. I love it. This is a GREAT version.

& one more song I will love until the day I die..I've loved it for years and years:

OPHELIA by NATALIE MERCHANT. The link to the first is the original recorded song found on the album Ophelia recorded in 1998. The second link is to her performing it live, which she does so well. I would kill to see Natalie Merchant-she is so talented and her voice is so unique. If Natalie Merchant and Radiohead toured together, I'd cut off my limbs to see that show. But I mind as well cut of an arm to go see Phish considering the tickets are $150 dollars. They are very talented though. I am not sure why they are that expensive, of course it's their reunion show, but The Grateful Dead was only $90 even. Go figure. But even then so we are going to be camping out in Indiana for three days. It should be a really great time. I am so excited that Matthew is coming. Full of friendly people! --what a great environment.

So Mother's Day went really well. I got up early, cleaned up the house, headed to Trader Joes and got 3 different bouquets of flowers, Callalilly (mom's fave), a normal arrangement, and some yellow tulips. I had gotten her some unique  chocolate bars at Le Chocolat last night and a chocolate mousse truffle. Then I put flowers in different rooms and chocolates everywhere.I also made her favorite dinner which consisted of cilantro/lime rice (same as you'd find at chipotle),  honey/cilantro/jalapeño chicken and spinach sauteed with nutttmeeggg (ha ha Matt). It was good. Everyone was happy. Then for dessert I had prepared chocolate chip cookies with a tad of peppermint extract and lemon zest. They were fab. I took a long bike ride after we had an early dinner at 3:45. Linner? I realized I never think about riding a bike when I'm riding it. Same as driving. I asked my mom to go bike  riding and she said "No, then I'd have to mentally prepare myself." ha ha. I am always aware that I am operating a car/bike, but my mind wanders a lot. I'm sure this happens to everyone. Needless to say I thought of a bike clip... Ah..the old days. I used to love that movie. When I came home, I watched Gossip Girl with my mom. That show is so juicy and sneaky. I love it. I fell in love with the books in high school though. I told everyone to read them. They are so easy to get into and a quick read, plus it was a great way to learn more about designers.

I am going to have to buckle down and start studying for sociology. I have no motivation considering I could fail this test and it wouldn't even matter since he drops our lowest test grade and I've gotten good grades on both the other ones, but whatever, I shall attempt for the A and get even higher points. Managable. 50 questions. 50 points. Easy Cheezy

Last night ended up to be great. We hit up Red Mango (It's that mochi, I'm telling you!--it hooks you in) after our phenom chipotle. It's remarkable, I didn't actually finish it this time. It was ginormous! Then we went to the hookah bar for awhile, but I was just not in the mood to be out and about anymore so we headed home, grabbed another bottle of champagne, and watched South Park. Ha ha. I enjoyed it though. I love coming home from a nice night out and just relaxing. However, I should be starting sociology. Have a delightful night and have yourself a laugh.

 Funny movie clip! (includes my fave bike clip ever!) ha ha ha ha!
