Hooray for being home on break!!!

Sadly, it doesn't feel too much like a break. I have 7 (that's right, 7) books to read over the next few days FOR THE SAME CLASS. And then two others for other classes. Luckily, I don't think I have a lot of writing to do over this break - unless I want to start on my 20-page research paper. A-hyeah right! But still: I'd like to be able to actually take a break from school, during my breaks from school.

Also, I feel like my mom is scrutinizing me while I'm here: you know, seeing if I'm still losing weight, and stuff. Also, today we were talking about voting (which I'm still not convinced I'm going to do) and she tried to convert me from my apparently Communist, definitely apathetic ways to Republicanism. And while I might be leaning toward McCain anyway because he's adorkable and Obama is kind of phony and pretentious, I'd rather not have my parents proselytize me to their political ideology. Anyway, she was kind of mad I skipped out on seeing Palin. It's not my fault she came on the worst possible day for me, or that I had no interest in seeing her outside of "OMG it's a celebrity".

It's official: I'm kind of sick. My nose is all stuffy and my throat is super sore and clogged. It's wonderful (/sarcasm). I need to stop being sick and be awesome instead. =)

OK, I'm getting bummed out. So I'm going to take a cue from dozmuffinxc and list all the positive things going on in my life now:
-I got an A on my creative writing midterm!
-And in Chorale!
-And an A- in drugs!
-Being home is always nice. I never realize just how much I miss everyone until I come home.
-I was able to spend the entire day at home. In a QUIET house. Such a rare occurence!
-I went to the mall. Today.
-At aforementioned mall, I found that elusive little black dress, which was the first one I tried on! And then I found cute shoes to go with it, which were the second ones I tried on. Shopping's never that easy!
-I made my mom laugh. It's been a long time since I made someone laugh using only my words.
-My sister made delicious friendship bread. (Have you heard about this stuff? It's like a chain letter, but with quick bread. Which is hilariously and deliciously awesome.)
-I saw a sneak peek of the upcoming HIMYM episode and it looks like it's going to be awesome! I'm going to force my sister to watch it with me. XD 2 more days!!!
-I FINALLY finished reading the Judy Garland bio, after a solid six weeks trying to get through it. And man, is her life depressing. I'm never going to be able to watch The Wizard of Oz the same way. Oh right, positive things. Um... I'm glad I'm not her.
-Because I have a cold, I finally have an opportunity to say, "My nose is just overflowing with awesome and I had to get some of it out."

That's it. Peace out, hombre(s)!
