dear granny,
today is friday.
It’s the middle of the day, actually. I haven’t even gone to lunch yet. But since I haven’t written in a few days, I’ll still have stuff to talk about.
Yesterday I went to a one-woman play about St. Catherine put on by Bill Murray’s sister. It was pretty cool, actually, even though it was way longer than I thought it would be.
The day before (wednesday) I went to website design class after having finished my homework due that day at 1am that very day. Then I proceeded to not pay attention, but totally understand everything he taught. I beasted out the stuff due next wednesday and later that day I started my website design final project. (we got the requirements early so we can make it as we go, if we want, which I’m doing because that way it’ll be sheer AWESOMENESS by the time I’m done). The fake business will be a cupcake-making one. :]
That day was also Bri’s birthday (Alicia’s roommate). We went to the Moose (the coffee shop) and hung out upstairs. Sarah, Jake, Robert and I played pool while the rest of the people played imaginiff. The cake was plain white cake, but the frosting was colored to look like a watermelon. it didn’t taste different than just generic frosting, but I was still hesitant to try it because I didn’t want to be surprised by watermelon-flavored frosting. That would have been really gross. I won pool against Sarah once or twice on my own, I don’t remember, and then when the boys joined and we played teams, robert won one for us and I almost won the second game (I was going for the eight ball, Sarah and Jake had 4 or 5 of theirs still on the table besides the 8 ball) but I called the pocket it would have made sense to go in, but it went in another one on a fluke, so technically we lost. It was very upsetting. :[ hahaha

Today, elliott's coming. He's almost here, in fact. I'm doing laundry now and it should be done around the time they get here. Breakfast was ehhhh. There was bacon, but it was kind of soggy. I tried mixing frosted flakes and froot loops. It's not an advisable combo. It's okay, but not worth it. Especially if one or both are stale. :]

That’s all I’ve got so far today. Maybe I’ll write again later? I don’t know yet.

love,
marah <3

dear granny,
today is monday.
monday is my hell day, but I made it through okay. There was cake in all the buildings for students because it’s St. Thomas Aquinas’ birthday week. I took two pieces (at different times) because I don’t get lunch. I swiped them on the way to class. Well, they were for anyone, but I felt like the second time I ought to be covert about it.

I got all kinds of stuff done, like registration for Elliott to come up this weekend. I did a causal “insight presentation” in Humanities today which is awesome because now it’s out of the way and I don’t have to worry about doing one later in the semester.

I also took a Earth Environments quiz and got 9/10, which, when the teacher asked about it because I was the last one in the room because I pack up slow, he said it was a good grade because usually people screw this quiz up because it’s hard and they don’t know what to expect. I was a little confused because it seemed like a really low-key thing. Oh well, good enough for me. I love earth science and it’s not that hard for me to learn.

We’re watching “An Inconvenient Truth,” as well, which I’ve seen before but now, having taken Communications and being in Principles of Persuasion, I can see the persuasive skills he’s exploiting the heck out of (emotional appeals, much?) but I also pretty well agree with the science, mostly. It’s interesting what changes between high school and college and how much my assessment of things changes.

Anyway, I’ve been drawing a bunch lately, as well. Mostly it’s just dumb pictures of our pseudo-family here because I’m not much good for drawing anything else. I’m kind of jealous because Tiff can draw animals SO well and I love her style, and Jake draws sci-fi concepts really consistently and realistically. uggghh. It makes me jealous, but maybe I’ll learn stuff when I start to take classes for my art minor and make my own style.

My RA interview is on thursday! ahh! I’m so nervous, but so pumped to start into this process more actively (I think my application/essay was good, but I’d like to meet these people, too, and show them who I am).

IN SUMMARY! haha, I’m not happy with EVERY tiny aspect of my life, but for the most part I’m having a dandy January. :]

love,
marah <3

dear granny,
it’s monday
and I haven’t updated in a loooooong time. I apologize.
today I went to classes. a lot of classes. today is the day I don’t get lunch at all. I had earth environments, then humanities, then earth environments lab (which is basically more lecture time). then spanish later, which is a class of 7 kids. I was late the first day, last monday, on accident, but I’ll never make that mistake again. it’s really awkward when you realize you’re the only one who didn’t get there on time.
Anyway, today after dinner Sarah and Alicia and I went to the dollar store and party city and bought party hats and decorations for Tiffany’s birthday tomorrow! It’s very exciting and there’s a lot of pokémon stuff involved :]
Your cake will go to good use, too. I’ve saved it for tomorrow so between that and the cupcakes Alicia’s mom sent, she should have something for everyone to eat whenever we do her party.
I mean, I can’t wait for my birthday next month, but I’m more excited for tiff’s birthday tomorrow! She’s never really had a party. Especially not on her actual birthday. I’m soooo excited. :]
I only have spanish tomorrow, too, so that makes things even cooler. Although, I have a lot of homework, in exchange for not having communications tomorrow, which I’ll probably have to start on tonight.
I hope you’re having a good week!
love,
<3 marah
