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 tuesday.
I got to go to swing dancing again, which pretty much made my life SO much better. :]
It was cold, but I wore the perfect amount of layers and danced so often (because pretty much everyone but Evan and I chickened out due to cold) that I was fine. And I didn’t even have to ride the bus, my friend Anna (a senior who you haven’t ever met) gave us a ride down.
She danced with a stranger for a lot, but it was cool because they sort of learned it together.

I think I did pretty well on my Spanish oral (one of the questions she asked me was whether or not I had any children… hahahaha) and I got a paper back from communications that I’d forgotten about but I did really well on. Upon re-reading it, I realized I used awesome words like predilection. :]

Also, they had frost-your-own-cupcakes day in the cafeteria, which was beautiful. Except Katie made one and realized (after she started eating it) that she had confused the vanilla cupcakes for the coconut cupcakes :\

Ohhh, life is so much happier after you’ve gone to swing dancing. ;]
love, marah

ps: tomorrow is waffle wednesday! and I only have about two to three days until I’m home for break!
