In a great effort to continue to be productive this week...
I decided to wake up earlier than necessary to finish up some Virginia Woolf for honors. Since I am writing here, you can tell that's not being done. BUT I have gotten so much else accomplished this week: gave a good presentation to the research group, finished all of my journal entries for my journal class, wrote up my entry for my research seminar, started and finished my Dada montage for honors, made out an intensive study guide for one of my tutees, worked, baked cookies and decorated them with Em to give to the boys for V-day, planned service opportunities for the frat, in the process of arranging flight plans for our New Mexico trip (which has been harder than anticipated), AND I have already read 80 pages of "Orlando." I can take a break for a second.
This weekend was awesome. Friday: found an awesome apt., watched the opening of the Winter Olympics (with all of the dancing cows and men with lederhosen and their little flagpoles that had their countries' flags rise up on them), visited Mr. Andrew at DanceBlue, saw my first anime (wow, that was so deep and kept me captivated- the idea of self... hmm), had an impromptu snowball fight (boys get vicious when you hit them in the face), chilled/stayed over at Ingels until... Saturday: was a LexArts ambassador with Anna (sounds like a cool title, a title of someone that actually did alot for the event... haha), dropped off surveys at our spot, had a nice lunch (thanks for the french toast, Anna!), went to DanceBlue, went back to pick up our surveys and made V-day cookies (one of which went to Mr. Andrew for his wonderful effort), then off to spend some quality time with the family, had a great dinner and later dessert, went shopping (Joseph Beth is my favorite place in the world!), showed them where I was thinking about living next year. I love my family, but I can only take family drama in small amounts. My dad didn't come because my mom didn't tell me that all last week he had a nasty fever and had fallen out of bed and bruised up his whole side. And then I find out that my brother almost got into another fight at school, this time because one of our neighbor's kids was making fun of my limp, walking down the hall pretending to be "his crippled sister." WOW! Sunday: got up for church with the St. A's gang, so much fun attending other churches in the area, had an "interesting" conversation with one of my church pals who had really liked my ex (long story...), frat's pinning ceremony and Applebee's after (so much fun... I love our new initiates!!!).
Before I run, I wanted to thank two special people for their Valentine's gifts, that made my day complete. My family sent me cherry tea bread, truffles, and all kinds of other fattening things. I got two red carnations from the ID scanner man at Blazer. Just a good day guys, THANKS!!! -K
