Sometimes, when you’ve spent the last week with a majority of 6 lectures a day, you just need some Cuban food, a pitcher of sangria, and a night of salsa and merengue.
No regrets.

So, let’s get this straight. I haven’t been sick all year, but with two days left of break I get a sore throat? Which means my tickets to the Fillmore for New Years may be in vain, and the 6 lectures on Wednesday will be worse than I expected?
Awesome.

I just skyped from Detroit with my Grandma on the Cape, while she was on her iPad. I love technology. And she loves my new apartment!
BCBG
My grandma, the spitting image of Betty White, is taking me shopping while wearing a BCBG track suit. So cute.
Caffeine
I am easily affected by caffeine, because I don’t have it often.
So two cups of black tea = me itching to jump out of my seat and run laps around the hospital.

After four days vacation...
me: The kitchen is so clean! I wasn't expecting this.
boyfriend: I know. It looks good.
me: You didn't cook at all while I was gone, did you?
boyfriend: Nope. Ate out for every meal.

me: Do you notice anything different about me?
my sister: Umm... your eyebrows are uneven?
me: Seriously?? They're the same, I just got them waxed!
my sister: Oh. Well. Maybe you could get your money back.

how not to get work done
I’m working on some research. Well. Not really. Because they’re drilling on some concrete in the apartment above me. I’m about to throw my tea at the roof and scream. Or maybe I should just relocate to a coffee shop…
