Happy February!
The good news: I have escaped the time warp. Last week went super fast, so I must be ok now. January is finally over. Thanks be to GOD. :D
The bad news: February means several things. One-- Tests, tests, tests. Two-- Valentines Day. (I'm not bitter or anything, but sometimes the mushy gushy couples all over this campus are a bit nauseating, and I'm sure they will be out in full force on the 14th.) However, Valentines Day does mean candy. So that's good. Three-- Just the month itself. I don't like it because it is in some awkward season in between winter/spring and it always seems to last forever, even though it is the shortest month. huh.

However, I am in a relatively happy mood thus far. Reasons? My creative writing class is amazing, it is two and a half hours long but I love every minute. My paper work finally came through, so now I will be working at the writing center for a little cash. No more poor college student for me! That is, unless I can't resist the temptation to use all my money eating sushi and fried rice at nagoya, which is how I blew all my money last month--it is just too delicious and I am weak.

Today, though, has been an entirely new level of awesome. I began it by dreaming that my roommate set the alarm wrong and I woke up at 9:30. My test was at 9:25. I jumped up immediately, but my eyes would not open all the way and I stumbled around like an insane person. To top it off, when I got to the bathroom the sink water was a nasty brown shade. When the real alarm woke me up from this dream at 8:15, I was very relieved. Then I laughed at myself. I made it to my Business Skills for Life Test with plenty of time, although I probably could have done a little better. But really, just look at the title of the class. Does it sound like a bundle of fun to you? Studying for that thing was like someone hammering nails in my head. But I did do ok. Then I got to go to Jazzmans, where I drank an entire vitamin water. You see, my eye and my left arm have been twitching on and off for 2 weeks. I feel like some sort of freakish creature, and it is beginning to drive me nuts. Someone told me to get some more Vitamin B, so I did. (Of course, someone else told me I need Calcium. Who knows.) At lunch, a caf worker shouted from the center of the room, "We've got chicken pot pie today Kiddies!!" He was very gleeful. "It is some GOOD STUFF, yes, yes yes." Then he sort of hopped around. I like him.
My chicken wrap was very satisfying. Then I went to class, where I learned all about old English monarchies, and we actually got out EARLY, which never happens. The true miracle of today, however, is what came next. I needed to do laundry very badly, as I got too lazy to do it yesterday. I prepared myself for battle. Girls are crazy here, very cut-throat. However, when I walked in....the peaceful sound of SILENCE greeted me. It was absolutely empty. I heard the Hallelujiah Chorus the entire time I loaded my clothes. And now I am drinking my peach green tea and successfully avoiding my homework.
So yes- Happy February, indeed!
