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 thursday.
I had a fantastic day, even though it started with a funny-tasting breakfast from fabulous Wege. (yes, the “fabulous” was sarcasm)
I didn’t do anything very memorable in classes, but afterwards I got a really good sandwich from the Moose, then I went and laid on a blanket with my friends in the sun. It was a little windy at first, but it calmed down after a while and got very pretty and sunny again. :]
We colored in coloring books and played gameboy and kaitlin ran around with my poké-walker (basically a step counter that trains your pokémon as you walk) and we ate goldfish and talked about all kinds of things like what we want to be if/when we grow up ;] and boys. of course boys. hahah

anyway, then I underperformed as always in Spanish by forgetting a notebook that had something I needed for class. It was no biggie, though, so I just made do with what the other people in my group had (It’s not like I didn’t tell the teacher, by the way. It’s hard to not tell her stuff when there’s only 7 total in the class and two were missing on this particular day).

then AFTER dinner, we journeyed on the mystical bus system downtown to visit the giant tire swing. It was fantastic, even if there were hooligans hanging out there at first. We were on a picture spree, though, so we had our little photoshoot and shot them awkward glances once in a while to intimidate them away. It worked after a while and we took some pictures on the tire swing, too :] I think you can look at them on facebook, but I might try to post a few here since I haven’t posted any in a while.

When we got back we hung out and put pictures up on facebook, decided on dates for our girl’s night (next friday), and decided that we were going to have a hair/makeup/getting ready/being awesome party before the spring formal, which I’m actually pretty excited about (and is a week from this saturday). It should be great.

There was a carnival, too, where Alicia, Sarah and I got matching airbrush tattoos. NEVER FEAR, THEY WILL WASH OFF. probably tomorrow if not in the shower, probably when I go swimming (which I’m pumped for. There’s a sort of game/activity night for our college at a YMCA near here. I soooo want to go swimming. :] )

anyway, now to take the Meyer-Briggs test again. Which I’ve taken multiple times. It always comes out INFP. I wish I could just write that down, but my Career and Self-Awareness professor probably won’t be happy with that. Oh well, I like taking personality test, I guess.

love love love,
marah :] <3
