167 DAYS!!! lol, still pretty far off but clooooooser!
Made the first payment for my trip today; oh lawd, goodbye $$$! How I will miss thee...
All I can say is, better get that raise at work because I am gonna need it.
It was snowing and gorgeous last week.
Then it rained... and rained some more... and continued to rain.
Arrivederci short-lived snow.
And our Christmas lights are now up. YAY!
I love Christmas! Can;t wait to decorate the tree this weekend.
This is my last week of classes and my finals end on the 15th.
Here's hoping I'll do well!
Next semester should be interesting... chose my classes on the 24th.
I have 2 profs I had this sem for humanities and history courses and another Italian course + a distance ed history course.
Atm, I'm feeling like crap.
Pretty sick and nearly fainted on the skytrain to school.
Stuck on the couch, my dad is making me watch one of those concerts on Detroit Public Television. Ack!
Don't mind the concert... it's Rain, the Beatles tribute band. Pretty good... watching the weirdos in the audience is fairly entertaining.
It's the part where they flip to the telephone lines and the guys talking about making donations. The ones for this one are exceptionally bad. Keep stumbling over every second word and those segments are SOOOO long. Shut up, already!
Anywho, that's all for now... nothing exciting.
Still raining.

182 days
Oh, Christmas... can't you come sooner?
I have officially finished my papers for this sem and I want it to be overrrr!
I can't wait for all the decorations to be up. They make the house seem so much cozier than it normally is. I love decorating the tree while listening to christmas music playing in the background. And seeing all the lights outside sparkle when it's snowing... it's the best.
Here's hoping the next few weeks fly by!

Stepping out of my comfort zone!
OK! I've decided what I'm doing about my dire need for travel.
Since I can't find anyone to fully commit to going on an independent trip to Italy in May, I am going to book a tour! Going solo is a bit intimidating, not going to lie, but I can meet tons of new people on this tour. =)
I'm gonna be travelling with the college version of the same company I used for my Paris, Provence, & Barcelona trip in highschool: EF.
I'd be spending most of the money I have but it will be worth it. Travelling is what I've always wanted to do and Europe is amazing.
I'd be going for 17 days in May to:
Amsterdam
Berlin
Prague
Munich
Venice
Florence
Rome
The most important location for me was Italy, Venice in particular. Hence why I chose this specific tour.
Cannot wait! Should be an amazing experience!

Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving means...
PUMPKIN PIE!!! WOOOOO!!!
Attempt # 1: made 2 pumpkin pies by following the recipe on the can of pure pumpkin. this was one of those times when i should've trusted my instincts. the can said i should add 1 1/3 c. of milk... MILK, and a lot of it. it didn't seem right to me (b/c it wasn't) but i did it anyway and they didn't cook at all b/c they had no substance! completely runny. threw 'em out.
Attempt #2: made 2 this morning... still in oven but the consistency makes me think these ones will work out b/c i used EVAPORATED MILK. yay! knock on wood they work out.
Thanksgiving also means turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy!
YUM!
the downfall of this time of year? midterms
stressing me oooouuuutttt but hopefully i do reasonably well.
HOPEFULLY
also, my lovely little sister is going on a cruise that was free w/ her friends family. they are going to the caribbean. so while i'm doing midterms on the top of a stupid mountain, alison will be on a huge luxury boat in the caribbean.
great.

GLEEK
AHHHHHHH!
so happy glee has started again!
the first episode was good, but i was a bit disappointed in the little amount of music.
the britney spears episode this week though... completely amazing!
i had a smile on my face the whole time.
heather morris needs more lines and more solos.
can't wait for next week!

A whole lotta nothin'
wow, haven't written in this in a looooong time.
so, san fran...
long car rides. but, luckily, on the way down we had some gorgeous views along the oregon coast and the california redwoods. the road back, however, was SO BORING! ahhh
anywho, it really is a cool city. love pier 39... it had theee best candy store ever. it made me fall in love with razzles (13 going on 30, anyone?). i've never seen them here but maybe i'll be able to find them somewhere. o, pier 39 had some cute sea lions as well.
what elsssseeee.... went to alcatraz. we did the night tour and it creeped the heck out of me. we got to go into the old hospital area and some of the rooms were pitch black. that, along with seeing all the old medical equipment and knowing that ppl had died there, made it the scariest area. we also went to d-block after the tour & listened to one of the guides talk about one of the former prisoners. having 3 floors of empty cells in front of me (the ones directly in front solitary confinement so pitch black), the darkness and the wind howling outside the windows behind me, i nearly shat myself.
hmmm... the food was pretty good there but i'm so tired of restaurants. lots of seafood (i'm not a fan, so i ate crabcakes bc that's all i like... i don't want to see another crabcake ever again). plus ghirardelli square with its yummy chocolate!
i don't know what else to add other than it was pretty fun.
so got home from that and school started the next week.
so far it's already better than second sem of last year THANK GOD! bc last sem sucked.
OOO cds!
linkin park came out last tuesday (sept 14)
verdict: fairly different from their other albums but still good. there are a couple songs i'm not a fan of but the rest have grown on me.
top songs: waiting for the end, irredescent, the cattalyst
maroon 5 came out this tuesday (sept 21)
verdict: obvs i love this band. in my opinion, this one's better than the second one. it's kind of the middle ground b/w the first and second albums, so it's closer to their old sound. pretty damn good.
top songs: they are all good but... stutter, hands all over, how, runaway
kings of leon comes out oct 19th!
