Some News!

I got all A's this semester! Yes yes yes. Copious amounts of studying and late night readings have paid off.

I want to read more D.H Lawrence.

New Camera Obscura is very good. I already have a handful of favorites on the album.

I hardly log onto the internet any more. It's a great feeling.

I need to go get ready for work...

Life is good.

Europe

I have a lot more thinking and planning to do.The more and more I think about the possibility of going, the more butterflies I feel in my tummy.

Oscar Wilde

...has quickly become one of my favorites writers.

"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong."
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
"I can resist anything except temptation."
"Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years."
"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. "

Perfectionism

Why must I contest myself against myself?

+/-

+ Turning twenty on Saturday.
+ Reading James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man for my British lit. class.
+ The soft pretzel I will soon be nom-noming on.
+ Not closing AT ALL next week.

- Stressed and worried about financial situations to come, like how I'm going to afford an apartment when I transfer.
- I haven't yet started my paper on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- Gloomy weather.

63 Degrees

Hurry and get a little warmer, California! I have more dresses than anything else in my closet and I want to wear them.

Thankful!
