Life is great

school is hard.
boys are stupid.

and life is great :D

i love it when that happens

remember how this week was kind of rough?
it was a long week
even the weather has reflected my mood

i swore off boys- well, romantic relations with them at least

but this weekend has been absolutely splendid :)

with nothing really planned,
I got to go to a bonfire,
eat pizza and watch movies with great people
go caving
an accidental date (and despite swearing off boys, it was way fun)
we made fried fish and real french fries and fruit salad (apparently we like foods that start with f)
relaxed all day
making more great food

and there is no school tomorrow!!

Seriously, it's been the perfect pick-me-up
and i really can't contain my excitement

:D

this is going to be a whiny rant

so feel free to back out now, before i begin the ramble of what is in my head.
i promise i won't be mad



i've learned that sometimes things work out how you want.
they always work out how they're supposed to

but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy
in fact, that probably means it's going to be hard

i really hope crying is okay
cause i've needed to all day

i'm grateful for friends shoulders

it's just rough when you think everything is going great
and then all of a sudden
it's not

and you're not sure why

you know it's likely not directly your fault
but it feels like it

so that giant confidence boost from a couple weeks ago?
gonna take a little bit to gain completely back

and it's not his fault.
that's the problem

he didn't do anything wrong really
but i still simultaneously want to slap some sense into him, run away, and also be with him all the time

i can take the hint...
i just don't want to

also, have you ever done something you even remotely regret.
just a tiny bit?
but you can't help but wonder if if you would regret it more if you hadn't have done it?
it's hard to tell which would be worse- doing it, or having not...

i need a vacation
and i'm swearing off boys for a little while

"other things that I want to say, just aren't coming out right. I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning, I don't know where to go from here" -life house, you and me

I moustache you a question

Dear future husband,

Unless you are one of the VERY few that can pull it off,
don't grow facial hair

I understand that it's a manly thing
but all of it is gross

and unless I tell you otherwise
you probably shouldn't assume you are the exception

If you participate in no-shave november.... I will too
see how you like that.

much appreciated!

Love,
your future wife

karma

I am sitting in the library
(i spend a lot of time here if you haven't figured that out yet)

I was hungry, so i went to the snack room and popped a bag of popcorn I had brought with me

I sat down to open it, and relished in how delicious it smelled
and it smelled good

i snickered as the guy across from me mentions to his fiance that he smells popcorn

lucky me

and then someone sat next to me and peeled a banana
and it smelled delicious

now i must go to the store,
because i didn't realize i would be craving a banana today.

don't you just love it...

when you spend all day inside doing homework
and all day, you're rehearsing how you're going to ask this guy out

and then when you go to do it, no one is home
so you go again later, and he's not home

because he's out with another girl.
....past 11:45 pm

and you go eat your feelings in ice cream
and find out there's coffee in it
gross

tomorrow will be a better day
maybe guys won't be so lame
and i can find a better flavor of ice cream

just a sneeze

Tuesday we had devotional

an hour every tuesday where someone on campus comes and speaks to us

this tuesday's lesson was particularly good

but just before he began to speak
someone sneezed

and it wasn't just any sneeze.
it was the loud obnoxious kind
and then he blew his nose like a trumpet

is it bad that i couldn't stop snickering for a few minutes?

life is what you make it

Today was unbelievably good.

Yesterday was pretty splendid as well

even though some crappy things happened
and i didn't do anything particularly spectacular
in fact, I spent the entirety of my days inside going to class and doing homework

but it's beautiful outside
and i'm surrounded by fantastic people
and life is just grand

i  love it when that happens

no fighting

Dear future husband,

today, we had a church meeting that centered around the family.
well, dating essentially.

they pretty much told the guys to get off their butts and ask girls out.
I promise I'll say yes.

also, let's not fight
it's too hard
i've looked at other relationships,
and the best word I can use to describe how i want mine to be,
is natural.

I know that people aren't perfect
it's practically impossible to live with someone 24/7
and not get mad at them at some point.

but it's possible to argue very little
and love a lot

i remember once when my parents started to argue,
and when they realized there was an obvious miscommunication
they went into the other room.
a few minutes later, they came out laughing.

i want that

so, let's just fall in love
and not worry about anything else

and laugh a lot.

love,
your future wife

waiting

How is it that in the grand scheme of things
4 days really isn't that long

but when you're waiting for something
it feels like the time crawls.

not in the library please

Dear couple sitting in front of me at the library,

I understand that you're engaged.
I'm excited for you, really.

But I would appreciate it if you kept the kissing to a minimum in public.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
I'm trying to study...

please endure another post about boys

maybe i'll find something else interesting to blog about soon...

3.5 hours of sleep is enough right?
because this is night 2

once because of homework, once because of a boy

I spent some time with a really great guy last night
hence, i am awake at 3:30am

I have to forgive him though
He doesn't know he's the reason I'm not sleeping
muffins anyone?

looking back

I was looking back on some of the more recent posts
and i realized
...they're all about boys.

obviously they've been on my mind a lot lately.
i'm sorry

---------------------------------------------------------------------

on another note, school is going splendid.
the roommates are fantastic.
homework is not exactly welcomed, but not too bad either
classes are overall actually pretty enjoyable to go to

though most people i know probably aren't very excited to learn about different family and child development theories...
i love it.

i'm taking a family class, an infant development class, and a early childhood development class, and they are all just so fascinating.

anyways. I hope your monday was great, and your tuesday is even better! :)
