I Wonder...

Does the alleged "FRESHMAN FIFTEEN" come from while you're actually at school....

Or when you're home for the breaks in between?

Think about it. It would make sense.

Oh, I Want to Go

Ireland
England
France
Spain
Italy
Greece
(Mediterranean!)
Russia
Germany
China
India
Africa
South America
Caribbean
All Fifty United States

And I want some of those trips to be service trips.
And some to be missions.
And some to be while I have unmarried college student status.
And some to be with my husband.
I want to live in some foreign places
So that they're no longer foreign
And just to visit others.
I want tourist attractions
And local culture

And I want to go.....

Nerd Status

I hate A-s.
Bs and B+s are okay-- because then it's like okay,  yeah, it was a difficult class and I did the best I could....

But an A-?

No.

An A- just means that you were close to an A. That you could have gotten an A, but you didn't.

A B+ wouldn't have been an A.

But an A- might have been.

Luck

Considering the number of times that I have lost or forgotten my key... it is really quite fortunate that I live on the first floor of the building.

I am noticeably more agile when it comes to climbing through window than at the beginning of last semester.

Lessons

When changing your hair color, it probably isn't a good idea to approach choosing a color by banking on the assumption that it won't actually work.

It's Almost Over...

I was stressing about school. And about how long it is until the end of this semester. And then it dawned on me.....

I only have one more period here.

Six weeks, one and a half menstrual cycles....

One more period.


Sweet.
