Catchup
So it's been a while. And I have had some adventures and some trials to share. I will attempt to do so in bullet points.
1. I am severely anemic (news to me) and apparently that is why I have had crazy sleeping hours for ages. Too bad they never tested me for that before. So now, even though I'm trying to remember to take my iron pills, I mostly just miss class a lot and tell myself it's okay because I have a legitimate excuse.
2. Trader Joe's makes Gummi Vites and they are like crack. I can't stop eating them. They don't taste at all like vitamins. Which is terrible because a serving is only 4 gummi bears and I want to eat them all!
3. Halloween was AMAZING. I was seriously a minor celebrity that night. I went as Jessica Rabbit (view at http://www.flickr.com/photos/62278688@N00/ ) and got more attention than I knew what to do with at the WeHo Carnivale. Literally, every five steps I tried to take another stranger would come up to me and ask to take a photo with me, and then three more would line up to do the same while I was already stopped. Cameras flashed as I passed by, people hollered my name constantly, one group of people even followed us and yelled ahead "MAKE A HOLE!! JESSICA IS COMING THROUGH!!! *aside: Yeah Girl, work those hips!!* MAKE A HOLE PEOPLE!!!" to part the sea of decked out halloween partiers for me. I was asked to marry 2 men, I was told by a LOT of other men that they've dreamt of me since they were 12, and one gay boy told me "I've wanted to BE you since I was seven!". It was completely and utterly ridiculous, and I can see now how being a celebrity would be extremely annoying after a short time.
4. My closest friend from home, Terese, got engaged last weekend and is getting married. That's so wild!!! I will be home in May, a week after my graduation, for her wedding. It's a weird time in life, people. Everyone's in transition and it feels really weird.
That's all I feel like writing for now about the general updates.
