TGIF

I always used to be that girl that was home alone every Friday night. Even in the past when I had a boyfriend, it wasn't a priority date night for some reason or another. But suddenly, I have something to look forward to socially. Seeing my Dad's band play at the Cashmere Cricket is becoming somewhat of a ritual. Everytime there is some variant of the same crowd there, though it keeps growing every week. Alan, Delilah, Teela, Brandon, and I are often joined by several Avalonians and today even my sister and her boyfriend visited us. I love to hear my Dad jam and to dance to the grooving blues. Brandon is even awesome enough to dance along with me. =) The atmosphere is great and the food is wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better place to spend the start of my weekend.

And down the stairs and out the back door is the river front. The board walk along the river has become very near to my heart as Brandon and I stroll there every time. It just feels magical to stare into his eyes and hear him say he loves me as the trees lean over us to listen and the river whispers its approval. I think it is my favorite place in the world. Everytime I drive by and from the road see those large angular sculptures that sit aloft the ampitheatre, my heart flutters remembering one of those friday nights. And every week they just get better.

These days, I finally have a reason to thank goodness it is Friday and the next one cannot come soon enough.

OMG WTF?!!!?!!!

That test was the most immense amount of torture I have ever undergone in my life. 20 pages of organic chemistry queries and all but perhaps 5 of them appeared to be a foreign langauge. I ought to be excited that I just took the last organic chemistry test I will ever have to take and instead I want to lay down and cry, vomit, and cut my wrists all at the same time. I feel so worthless. Sigh. I guess if there is one thing I learned in this class, it is that I cannot be good at everything. I just hope that by some fluke I didnt manage to fail the class because that might be worth dropping out of college for. Well, maybe not that drastic but at least a public flogging to cleanse the humiliation?

Ah well, just a cell and molec test left and then I am free of this semester. Wish me luck, nay wish me a strong stomach because that will help me more at the moment then anything else.

I need a hug... I cannot wait till 3 when I get to hug my darling.

Huggles!!

BTW, at least I look adorable in my failure... I am uber comfy in my garb today. =)

Cinco de Mayo

Yesterday was an amazing day despite being fairly sure I failed my organic chemistry test. I spent the morning listening to Gwar watching black widows hunt. Then I caught the bus to Chapel Hill Mall and commenced the adventure of finding my way to Alan's House, and I did not even get lost... for long. It felt wonderful to walk in the beautiful sunshine and noticed so much that you miss in a car, new flowers and birdsong. I am amazed at how disconnected technology makes us from the real world and have resolved to find the time to utilize less lazy avenues of travel.

The Oira Morin gang and I sparred a little in the afternoon. I did some arching and remembered that you must arch your wrist to prevent getting hit in the arm by the string... After about 6 times and the hugest, prettiest bruise I have had in a long time I realized it anyway. And then I managed to twist and fall on my kneecap in such a way that it is swollen and complaining today but I think it is simply imflamed and should heal. I still won that fight though. =)

On to the main course, we went to see my Dad's band, New Moon Express, play in what will hopefully become a friday night ritual. It was an amazing time as usual with great music, great friends, and my Brandon. In between sets we went and walked along the river under the night sky and fell for each other further. Today I have an empty spot on my finger where a ring used to lay and a warm black arm band on my wrist that reminds me of my dear pirate like a gentle hand holding mine. He is wonderful and even put up admirably with the taunts of "touch her and I will kill you" from the Avalonians. Though he did comment on not realizing just how large my dad was until this evening. *smirk*

So that was my Cinco de Mayo. Quite a pleasant day over all. Too bad it had to be followed by such a washed out and mediocre Saturday. The morning started off well enough but was cold and that always leaves me in slow motion. We had so many staff in today that it gave us the opportunity to simply watch training which is great but drags on you after awhile. Add to that the fact that I ran out of Advair and had to use my rescue inhaler today and I am left dizzy and nauseous and generally feeling hideously.

I came home and ought to have studied but fairly passed out instead. Ah well, I still have plenty of time to ready for my finals. I am not in the least worried about them. Did I mention I got an A+ in evolution? It feels good to do so well again, it has been too long.

Well Saturday night live is dieing off for the evening and it is time for me to do the same. I must bid you adieu and hope that tomorrow fairs better then this.
