TIK TOK

well good evening everybody! or should i say good morning! I don't know how this always happens to me. All day, my body tells me over and over how badly i need to sleep. But then the night comes and i just completely disregard my need for sleep. In a desperate measure, i even had my mom call to remind me to go to sleep at 11:30 (i know, i know, soo fifth grade). And what did i do? I told her "yes mam" of course, but here i am at 1:30 in the morning BLLOGGINGGG. what is my problem?? The issue is this: i am a morning person and i am a night person. However i am in no way an afternoon person. What does this mean? Well, let me elaborate. Here is how my day goes: i wake up early. I just adore mornings. I love waffles, bagel (okay i really love bagels for those of you who know me, you will realize this is no exaggeration), fruit, yogurt, but most of all i LOVE coffee. I love the quiet you encounter when it feels like the rest of the world is still sleeping. There is something so peaceful about the stillness. As cheesy as it sounds, i do my best thinking during this time and it really helps start my day off on the right foot. That is one thing i've learned in college. Its hard because you're always with your friends and having so much fun (or in class boo!) so its hard to remind yourself that you need time to yourself as well. I must constantly remind myself that i must make time for brammy in order to be the best friend, daughter, and student that i can't be. All this to say, the morning is like a fresh breath within the crazy cycle of life. Fast forward a couple of hours--> night. I am very much a night person. My second wind just comes and THIS is precisely why i am sleep deprived. Plus, when you live under the same roof as all your best friends. hello, slumber party? Do they really expect me to sleep? These expectations are ridiculous. This also explains why the afternoons are so blahh. They just don't peak in the same way as morning and night. Its like the valley between two mountains. Kinda like the mountain landscape we made in watercolor class this week (yay watercolor class!). So anyways i'm sure none of you care about all this but it helps explain why all of my blogs will be written at 1 am, which also serves as a disclaimer. My grammar mistakes/ cheesiness will surely be in top form at this time.

i have something really special to remind you all of --> DEAR JOHN. yes, okay i realize this is not exactly fine literature, but it is heart wrenching. Nicholas Sparks has done it again with one of the most tear worthy (is that a phrase?) books i've ever read. I highly suggest all those who haven't read the book, do so, NOW. This is not an option people. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll frown, you'll smile. Nicholas has it all. Also, i think its a good idea that you read the book first so that you'll be better able to handle the intensity of the movie. Prepare yourself for greatness folks.

Watch this trailer. The music is fantastic. I know this by experience. In a moment of weakness, i may or may not have purchased the soundtrack.

Speaking of good music, i highly suggest the following: Mat Kearney-- City of Black and White and Stephen Kellogg Band-- The Bear. They are both excellent! Check em' out dudes!

But i really should go study. i have 3 tests this week. I tried to study in commons last night but those sort of things tend to not work for me. I get a tad distracted. Nat and i went from being studious students (repetivtive, yes i know, but i don't know how else to say it) to those annoying girls that everyone wants to throw a pencil or maybe a laptop at for continuously shouting. However, if anyone did enjoy our rendition of tik tok and this is the carter... you're welcome for the entertainment and yes, we shall be here all year. Well, technically until around April 27th-- the day classes end. I know this is the case because i just entered it in my new spiffy ical. Really love my ical. Well, really i just love anything that i can color code. Type a personality at its best :)

This is becoming quite a long blog.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C. S. Lewis

I read this and thought of all the amazing people i have met here. Okay, yes high on the cheesy value, but really if you're reading this blog (i'm assuming we're buds) and i want yall to know how happy i am we're friends! Y'all are da bomb. com hahah yes i just said that.


Anyways, i'm gonna go study! Sleeppp well.
