for now.

my break has been wonderful! i am waiting for my laundry to come out so i can switch it and then go to bed so i can wake up early, pack, go to a friend's wedding brunch reception [i'll report how that was later], and then go back to slo and james!

i got a new camera which i have named cameron [original, i know], and it is officially my new baby. oh how i love you cameron. pics to come. many, many.

i just got back from hume with my family which was wonderful. pics of that to come as well.

welp, that's about it for now bc i am too tired to write anything else.

happy new year [almost]!

currently.

i have bright red toenails.

i am loved.

i have no school for 3 weeks.

the weather is nice.

my family is wonderful.

life is good.

hold on.

one more time with feeling.

say it again,

breathing's just a rhythm.

last final tonight. here we go. in 4 hours i will be emotionally destroyed, tired, and sad.

and then it will be over. and i will go about my usual finals recovery process [chocolate and a long hot shower] and have put one more quarter behind me.

cal poly, i will defeat you if it is the last thing i do.

you know it's finals week when.

it's 2 pm and you are still in your pajamas.

you can't remember the last time you took a shower.

you have eaten two bars of chocolate in the past 24 hours[thank to james, who bought my east coast souvenir in the airport on his way back, and it happened to be a pack of 3 chocolate bars... he knows me too well].

what does the floor of my room look like?

all you want is a hug from your mom and her to stroke your hair while you cry.

you say goodbye to your roommate heading to her final and make sure she doesn't forget her tissues for when she starts crying halfway through.

remind again why i thought college would be fun? [just kidding, i love it. mostly.]

let me go home.

home is wherever i'm with you.

things on my mind.

traditions with best friends.

a cute boy who is currently on the east coast.

my silly brothers.

grooveshark is wonderful.

hipster music.

i can kind of french braid my hair when it is wet.

i might start taking prenatal vitamins to make my hair grow faster.

christmas shopping.

chiropractor next week again. love it.

school/finals grossness.

the bruington building coincidence.

okay.

let me start first with the fact that my mother's father [my grandpa] was a contractor and he built a building about 3.2 minutes from my house. whenever i drive by it, it makes me a little happy. he died when i was 14, and i never knew him very well. when i look back, i don't miss him, but i do wish i had more opportunities to know him. i'm such a different person than i was 7 years ago and i wish he could see that. anyway, i enjoy driving by his building, it makes me feel somehow connected to him, which i know is weird, but oh well.

now.

on sunday james and i were rear ended by a lady who was driving and zoning out. she didn't even try to brake, leaving james' bumper looking like the sagging pants of all the boys who were in 7th grade with me. why that was ever a popular look is beyond me. anyway, i feel really awful for the lady, who was working all morning at the diner, so she was exhausted. the accident has left me with an ever-constant headache. loud noises and even a slight breeze that could jostle me suck. also, my back hurts worse than it usually does. i guess this is good because now james is forcing me to go the chiropractor, which i frankly should have done a long time ago.

but we looked up chiropractors here, and lo and behold, guess where the chiropractor i am going to is?? yup! my grandpa's building. awesome. okay, it's silly. but i don't care, i am excited. i am also really excited to go to the chiropractor, i feel like it will really help my back and hopefully take away the pain i've been having since high school.

okay, this was long and probably pointless, but i am glad to get to go into the building my grandpa designed and to get my janky back fixed.

now back to listening to christmas music [quietly].
