put another dime in the jukebox

I think that I should start capitalizing more of my sentences. I’ve noticed that this seems to be a trend in various aspects of my life and it is probably for the best.

I had a great day today. I woke up at 9 and started working on speech writing! w00t! This was really great given that I woke up completely naturally and didn’t have any real trouble staying awake at 9 am. Usually, I’ve noticed, I like to fall back to sleep for around an hour but this has apparently changed.

Also, I learned last night that my passport has been in the mail since Saturday which means I should get it virtually any time. Awesome! I can’t wait to have it. I think its kind of a big deal and represents more than just a little book to me. It’s proof in a lot of ways that I’m growing up. In part because I know that my parents have never had a passport or left the country and I get to, but also because Poland is a trip completely orchestrated by my own doings and so completely exciting. I can’t wait to go. And I love that a trip to Poland that was basically decided upon by a series of whims (I wanna go abroad, oh hey CIEE looks good, whoa the deadline is march 15, MOM! I’m going to do this trip thing!, I’ll go CR because CR rocks, CR doesn’t rock on the right dates? Awesome. Poland rocks harder.) and I think that it will. It’ll be really cool because I expect to have a really great experience and I’m so excited about all of it. Including flying for 9 hours because I am a freak. And also because I really like airplanes and long road trips and 9 hours has to be a blast. Besides, if it turns out that it sucks there’s always alcohol. Lol.

Yesterday, Stephanie took me out to get a pedicure and I am forever indebted to her for it. It was exactly what I needed to help calm me down about everything that’s going on in my life. I just feel really out of whack a lot of the time and it was good to just get a nice foot massage and toe-nail painting that day. So Thanks Steph, you rock.

Today I met Annaleigh at WU so that I could print things for free in the Comm office (not having a computer that works well enough to print or the disk to install the printer on the functioning computer sucks!). Then we went to the lake and swam for a few hours. I’m a little sunburned and tired from all of the sun but it was still great. Then we went back to WU and stalked Kev for some tape. Heh. We knew he was around and expected to return for a 5:30 class so instead of waiting for him outside the Comm Department door we decided to go ahead and be “totally creepy” and we went downstairs to find a course schedule for the summer to figure out what classroom he would be going to in case he was there already. We couldn’t find the paper ones so we used the handy-dandy internet to look up the O’Leary Comm courses available on Wed at 5:30. Turns out it was in MO268 so we could’ve stayed upstairs. Alas! As we were returning to our perch by the office we noticed Kevin walking in so we hid from him behind a corner and we giggled awkwardly because at this point we were just being bizarre. We waited until he had stopped climbing stairs and then tiptoed to the staircase and climbed up it. Annaleigh peeked around the corner and saw that he was already in the office so we ran by it and knocked. He opened the door. We stood their mostly shocked because we finally found him and then made our way to the looting of the tape. Going to the lake with Annaleigh? The worst that could happen is ADVENTURES!
