dinsdag 11 oktober 2005

Okay, so it wasn't the greatest day; I didn't get a lot of sleep, I still haven't worked out my UF schedule, the sausage roll at lunch made me feel really sick to my stomach, and my 'swimming shoulders' are starting to act up again, GRRRR. That being said, the day did get better as it went on. Here are the exclamation points:

- The weather has been sooo nice the past couple of days - we're back to T-shirt weather!

- The Spanish teacher and I 'wasted' an entire class period on linguistic discussion and theorization, rock on!

- I get to play paintball on 1 Nov!

- I had boerenkool met worst and a chocolate muffin for dinner, score!

- Marijt is awesome, she lent me two new books, including a Jodi Picoult!

- Britt is awesome too, she gave me a shoulder massage!

- Hebe is awesome three, just because she's Hebe and she's cute! ;)

- Gilmore Girls nights two floors up (K-24) rock my world!

- Just got confirmation that my linguistics class will 'probably' count for my major, yessss!

- I have a new iPod playlist!

- Sergey, my linguistics professor, worked at Yale for five years and says he'll put in a good word for me there!!!

- Um... I like exclamation points tonight! :)
