beautiful smell of chlorine

should I be writing a french paper? Oui! Am I? nah; I was shooting the breeze reading blogs and concluded I have some sporadic thoughts to verbalize

a soft spot: I love listening to soft songs like The Weepies and Colbie

a wish: go to france: eat & speak
a tip: the bridge from friendship to friendship *wink wink* is precarious 
an inspiration: saw somebody who cared. I've forgotten what it's like to have something to care about--because apathy feels less consuming than disappointment--at first. blocking out feelings, though, only hurts more.

an observation: I wonder how much we realize how motivating it is when someone takes an interest in your interests. that thing so close to you, and someone cares enough to ask, push the issue, make you love it more

a fact: best friends once, best friends forever

a favorite: I love, LOVE seeing engagement pictures of people who are genuinely so happy together

an academic note: I don't care about 1 credit classes. terrible? yes. but I still don't. I have work, 3 cr, and 4 cr classes to care about
a weakness: I give up on things easily. hcg diet, disney, visiting teaching appointments, hitting the gym....

a yearning: get to Africa 

a plan: to go on a mission--start my papers in DECEMBER

a weekend: stayed at my house in St. George--LOVE it! Spent the most wonderful weekend of my life with my family; so many laughs, such memories made. Visited my cousins I hadn't seen in...ten years.... wow. Absolutely terrific. Things are definitely looking up. Saw Les Mis: beautiful! Nearly finished the book in time. 

a public service announcement: I don't think UTA runs on holidays.
a good time: hot tubbing
a secret delight: eating Ritz in my bed
a desire: to have a $500+ mattress one day..and have it delivered to my door
a great morning: wake up slowly at 9, then watch Full House
a confession: I'm not a very good student. working on that....after I finish this post. :)
