I guess after a Jazz filled day, it's expected.

Last night I had my first dream in black and white. Everyone seems to talk about those dreams, but I didn't think they were actually possible. But, I am here to tell you, they are. We watched a bit of a black and white movie in Jazz, I'm sure that sparked it. 

After I woke up I had some Jazz music stuck in my head that I'm supposed to know for a test next week. Good sign? I think so. Maybe I'll do better on this one. Well... I will do better, because I have to. 

On Sunday my niece told me that in order to not fail another test (she knew about that last one...) I needed to always be studying and reading over and over and over again until I talk about it in my sleep! Well, I'm sure dreaming about it and waking up with it in my head is getting pretty close. Thanks for the advice, E. I hope it works. 

Maybe I will watch an old black and white movie for Valentines Day tomorrow...

IT IS POSSIBLE!

   

Staple things for College (At least for me...)

1. Cream of Wheat
2. Cheese, tortillas, and salsa
3. Wheat Bread
4. Raspberry Jam

5. Sweats
6. Comfortable sweaters (I'm particularly thinking of my mom's sweater that I stole for a couple days and made everything seem better. I wish I hadn't taken it back. Thanks mom. )

7. A pair of flats that work with pretty much anything you wear
8. Socks. I just love socks.

9. Notebooks. Any, random, little, big, cute, plain notebooks

That's all I can think of for now. As I realize more staples for college I may stick in a "Part 2"

HOW do Elders have time for this?

They wrote entirely new words. They didn't just change some here and some there. Gotta love Elders!

Cupcakes

Alright, which should Kim and I make next?


If you can't read them (sorry) go here

I'm thinking the blueberry, banana, or lemon.

Fail.

ohhh heeeeyyyy. It's my face. 

I went down to the creamery and got some ice cream. I normally order a "child scoop"- that has enough ice cream for me (plus, it's healthier).

This time I ordered a "single scoop." I should have stuck with the child.


As I walked home it was just me, my ice cream, and my distraught face.
I might as well have had leprechauns jumping around me with signs that said "SHE JUST FAILED HER TEST."
I literally just failed my test. More than failed it.


So I got back to the apartment and I'm now listening to Skee-Lo's "I wish" and Coolio's "Gangsters Paradise." Those songs make me happy.

Well. Maybe not exactly happy. They make me smile.


I woke up this morning feeling crappy - I shouldn't have gotten the ice cream. But I decided to really get dressed and do my hair...so I guess that makes up for me feeling sick. So the ice cream was okay. (Yeah, there's some good logic for you.)


peace out. I'm going to study my behind off for my test tomorrow.


Hey. The sky is blue. Seriously, what a tender mercy.
