Blargh. I feel miserable. I'm exhausted. But life is pretty good, nonetheless. Classes continue to be taxing, but oh so rewarding. Sacred and Profane is already driving me crazy, and it's only going to get worse. Rebels is just getting good, and judging by the reading schedule, it will only get better. I have my first quiz in HEL tomorrow, which will be interesting. Art History would be fascinating if it weren't for the know-it-all that sits behind me that feels the need to constantly correct people. And Jane Austen continues to keep me sane :)
I'm really enjoying this living by myself thing. Alone time is nice, as is privacy. If I want people, I can find them or corral them in my room, but if I don't want to be social, I don't have to (ie- right now because I feel so blah). I can watch whatever I want on TV without interruption (ie- the recent season premieres of Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl. The first was UNBELIEVABLE, the second was just blah, but next week will be oh so good). I can crank my tunes as loud as I want. I guess the odd part of living alone is going places and running errands on my own. I went to Walmart today by myself, which felt quite strange. I was waiting for a prescription, and it just felt so weird to walk around not knowing ANYONE (so unlike the Franklin Wally World) with my cart full of chocolate, popcorn, mac and cheese, tampons, and tylenol with no one to talk to or joke about things with. I guess it's just a part of life I have to get used to.
When I go home for reading days, there's a lot of stuff I want to do... eat at Don Pancho's (repeatedly, if possible), visit everyone, shop, see The Social Network (good grief, that movie looks incredible!!), run around with my dogs, and streak my hair pink. Yep, you read that correctly. In a show of solidarity with my cousin, I'm going to put semi-permanent pink streaks in my hair for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Our family has been so acutely affected by the disease, and the least we can do is help people be aware of it, how to prevent it, and how to overcome it. Plus, I've always wanted to do something a little crazy with my hair, and this gives me a pretty legit excuse to do it.
My soccer ladies are on FIRE this season!!! They're 4-2 so far this season, ranked third in the conference. My bestie Sierra is the most badass of them all, but we already knew that ;) Seanne has improved so much as a goalie; I love watching her play and get super-protective of her net. Lindsay says I'm like their soccer mom with my SBC t-shirt, homemade poster, and how prepared I am with a bag full of stuff to watch the game. I just really care about those girls, and I want to support them in their endeavors. The least I can do is show up for two hours and scream myself hoarse to encourage them <3
K, it's bedtime... I'm going to watch some Vampire Diaries or Glee and hit the sack early. Nothing like going to bed with Damon and Finn when you feel like this :)
