dear granny,
today is sunday.
today is a good day for a rainy day.
This weekend, almost everyone who I usually hang out with went home. Or, well, they left, anyway. Tiff went home, and then Alicia went home with Sarah, which left Jake, Biz and I here.
On Friday, after I did my communication presentation (which I think went pretty well) we took tiff to the greyhound station, saw her off, then came back and just sort of hung out in the lounge because we didn’t really know what to do. (since we usually hang out in Tiff/Sarah’s room). I kind of wish we’d been pushed to hang out in the lounge before now, because I think, based on what we’ve experienced this weekend, it’s totally worth doing for the rest of this year, and next year. :] I don’t think the boy/girl ratio has ever been so close, haha, since it’s usually just Jake and a bunch of girls, but it was nice to hang out and watch movies and play video games with people and go to meals in a bigger group and all that kind of stuff. I got beaten really really badly at pokémon by some guys that play super serious-like. haha it was fantastic ’cause I’ve never really encountered something like that. I got to play pool and everything! (something I’ve wanted to do since fall, but no one will agree to play a round with me).

Life’s pretty great. I got a little bit of homework done yesterday and today I’m just goofing off, playing games, sketching ideas that came up in a dream I had, and eating leftover chinese (which I got last night… mmmm)

I hope your weekend has been good. I think you guys still need the rain, so maybe at least that was good? I’ll be home soon! only two more weeks of school! :]

love,
marah

dear granny,
today is wednesday.
This morning I found out that, in fact, I am not stupid and that I did pick the correct major and minors according to the 23904820948098235th test personality/career assessment I’ve taken in that dumb class thus far.
Again, it told me that my top interests and advised career clusters are, verbatim, “Art – Skilled,” “Art – Professional,” and “Communication.”
WELL DUH.
Moving on, I had a wonderful lunch of grilled cheese at wege, then read a while in my book, helped tiff study, and then we found out some ugly news about her grandmother. :[ Keep her (I think her name might be Elsie?) in your prayers, as well as the whole rest of Tiff's family, as things are not looking good. The word hospice has been used lately, and I think Tiff is going home this weekend.

Despite this, we had to stay focused: Tiff with her Art History studying; Sarah with her spanish homework; and me with my assorted tasks of a Spanish in-class writing, Earth Environments essay/studying, and reading/SparkNoting a book I don't even own (that I'm supposed to have read about 90% of for class tomorrow).
Currently I am quite distracted, although all that I have left is the sparknoting, which will probably be put off yet again in favor of other things, seeing as I supremely do not care for this book or this class.
That said, I would like to go to bed, so I probably will do just that very soon.
love,
marah :]
ps: I really want to either read more or catch Ho-oh in Heart Gold right now, but I’m resisting both of those urges in favor of more productive endeavors.

dear granny,
today is tuesday.
You know you’re up too late when you start realizing that instead of writing your paper, you’re writing sentences like “what happened to the chickens?” and “no one would bother stopping a small dog.”
This, in fact, happened to me again last night. Those are two sentences that I legitimately produced in my incoherent state last night at well past the time I ought to have been asleep.
The important thing is that I got the homework done and went to bed to the sounds of rumbly bumbly thunder.
I have never been so pumped for thunderstorms. I mean, you should know well how terrified I usually am at any amount of severe weather, but I guess I was so tired I liked listening to it. This morning it was funny, too, because it was just rumbly and rainy and I got to sleep in and life was grand. Well, until mom texted me and asked if it was hailing. It was not, as far as I know, and I really didn’t want a text to catch me unawares as early as it did. I rolled back over and went to sleep when she was done texting me, then I finally got my lazy butt up and took a shower.
You’ll be happy (to some extent) to know that I ate some poppyseed cake, however you might not be as thrilled that it was for breakfast. I thought it was a great idea, though, so that’s what I did.
And basically, the rest of the day has just been spring-y and rainy and lazy. I did go to classes, and to my immense relief, deadlines have been pushed back that I didn’t realize would be pushed back. This gives me a lot more time to work on some things, which I definitely need.

Anyway, I do hope you’re having a wonderful week!
love,
marah <3
