oh dear.
how does one take compliments that are so profound?
i don't know. i hate rhetorical questions. too cliché.
i got my 20 page paper back. an A.
the last thing the professor wrote on the paper was "Well, Breanna, I knew you were smart, but I didn't think THIS smart. What a fine writer you are! Thank you for being in this class"
whoa!? way out of left field. i thought i was going to be lucky with a B- on this thing, and she says i'm brilliant and outstanding. oh well. i shouldn't complain... i just feel guilty for recieving a grade reserved usually for something i work much much harder on... i hardly even remember writing this thing. i just wrote it. not consciously, really. and apparently it's fantastic.
my dad wanted to read it. i wouldn't let him. i think because i couldn't even remember what i wrote, and didn't know whether or not it was really worth having my really smart guy of a dad read it without feeling like a dumbass.
i'm going to stop worrying about this now, because it's silly. i got an A, the teacher thinks i'm great, and i'm taking the next course by the same professor next quarter.
shut up, bre, and just be complacent and happy about a good grade for once, eh?
on another note, i had a great time in San Luis Obispo. it was very much like Boulder, only by a beach. little college town with lots of places to buy soymilk, and a downtown quite similar to Pearl Street. the houses were a little different in architecture, but the same feel was there. i enjoyed it.
i'm excited for dorm life. i know i will regret saying this once i actually move into dorms, but still. skylar's situation seems like much fun. we ate lots of vegan cookies.
so today was the last day of class. i will sleep and wander around the city till friday when i fly into ohio for holiday. that'll be fun. i'm excited to see people again.
OH my gosh. i finally got all of my pants hemmed. eight pairs that never got around to actually fitting the length of my legs now fit! wow. what a feeling, hah. simply amazing, i think.
cute boy named Austin gave me his number today. that was exciting. he is an English major, and very cute, and well spoken and smart. this is exciting. he wanted to take me for coffee next week, but since i'm gone, we couldn't. he told me to contact him after my winter holiday, though, so we could get together then. a girl Ashley, who really likes him was not pleased when she saw him take me aside today. oh well. her own fault for like FLINGING herself on him, making the poor kid retreat.
tra la. apparently the rumor going around about me amongst previous friends in ohio is that i "got skinny" - how bizarre is that?
my thoughts are getting increasingly choppy and disconnected because i'm REALLY tired. so i'm going to go now, i think. and maybe lay down for a bit and sleep. or just watch a movie, who knows.
i think it should be a uniform requirement that all tall skinny boys should wear tight pants.
