here and there!

1. I just signed up for a 5th class for the fall. It's called "Life and Letters of Paul". I've never taken a religious studies class at mizzou but this professor sounds good and i could use a little bible history education. So i'm kind of looking forward to it now--i know i will regret saying that later.

2. These are my 2 favorite songs to listen to on my walks to class to. I listen to them on my iPod and i look around at all the students walking and the beauty of nature and 1. I feel like I live in the 70's and it's great and 2. they are just such "happy" songs that my day just brightens a little bit. I love Simon and Garfunkel's ability to be either be super happy or super sad. They just fit you whatever mood! And their harmony is like food to my soul haha.


This is like the happiest song ever. I LOVE IT!! i love how the beggining goes "jeep its great to be back home! :)" it's like the song just starts off saying "hey, i'm gonna make ya really happy"

This one is a little more chill, but gives you an equally great feeling inside :)


3. The weather has been amaaaaazing lately. I can have a really crappy day, yet I am like filled with happiness still because it's soo beautiful that you can't possibly stay in a bad mood. Like I am 10 times happier in warm weather than cold. (i know that's like an actual condition/problem...i think i secretly have Seasonal Affective Disorder). My optimistic attitude in the warm weather I have already noticed is allowing me to see a lot of little good things in life. Like bad little things will happen, but now i'm noticing the good things so i forget about the bad things! In conclusion, I should not live in cold weather when I am older.

4. I can't belieeeeeve my life in the few weeks. Literally the next 3 weeks are insanely awesome. Next week, I visit Anne!(my bff since 1st grade. lives a block away from me in rochester. we have the same hair.) I have never even traveled with a friend before other than to Anne's cabin. But just to think we will be hanging out in a hotel and exploring Kansas City all by ourselves for 3 days is so0o0 exciting! Not to mention St. Patty's Day is next Wed so we get to celebrate that together. AND I get to see her skate in her show FO FREE! I have been waiting to see this show for 2 years and the day is finally here!! I get to finally see the Rafiki costume, I get to finally see her as ARIEL! doing PAIRS! LIFTS WITH A GUY! what?!? yeah, I know, she's a superhero. I bought by megabus tickets today so the trip is officially on:) Let the fun begin!

Anne skates with Disney on Ice and her tour is coming to Kansas City. I like to tell myself my bff is a celebrity...and brag at any chance I get.

Also0o0o, in two weeks from this Saturday I will be on my way to New Orleans for spring break!!! I am going with 11 other mizzou students (who i've met like 4 times, but they're all really fun and funny and nice soo i'm extremely excited). We are working with the United Saints Recovery program down there. We will mostly be painting houses i think...i'll let ya know what we did after the trip haha (and post pics!) but anywayyy I feel like I am so physically unprepared for this! I need to work out. Is that sad that I think I will be sore after a day of PAINTING?? :/ shoot. work out is officially on my to do list.. I do not know how I am going to pack lightly for this trip...apparently we are all stuffing into a 12 person van for a 12-16 (nobody really knows) hour long bus ride down there?? Yeah, if i don't know my team members now, i will suuuurely get to know them when one of their legs is on my lap and my armpit is in their face. Can't waaaait. :( hahah. oh and I get carsick soo pray for me! hahaha.
