i got the Cold Mountain soundtrack. can you tell? XD

so, it's thanksgiving break in a week! if i get to K-Vegas before 3:40, I'll go to East and see all you kids. i have no idea if i'll make it by then or not...depends on when my dad can come and get me. my classes end at 10:45 on Wednesdays, so, if my dad can get there just then, and it only takes me 15 minutes to get ready (i don't know who i'm kidding here. it takes me foreverrrrrrr.), then my ETA would be 12:45 or 1-ish. Thanksgiving, i'll be spending with my family (probably cooking a little! so excited!), hanging out with Kistie (probably) on the 26th or 27th, and the day i'm not doing that, I'll be road tripping to Burlington (i know, it's not that far) to go to Wicked Needlez with Amy and Kayla. then it's the zoo on the 28th and back to ASU on the 29th. i think they call that week "Death week"...or maybe that's next week. because that's an exam week.

So i finished Slaughterhouse-Five either yesterday or today. things get jumbled when you have no life, don't judge. it was pretty kick-butt, i have to say. It kind of made me think about death and things, but i think that if i had never heard of it before reading it, i probably would've gotten more out of it. i was a little bit like "OMFG i'm finally reading this iconic book!" and i didn't really remember to pay attention to what it was really about. so that'll probably get read again. in the meantime, i've started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". all i can really say about the first 32 pages is that i hope there are more zombies in the rest of the book. but Lizzie is really intense. and it's kind of like reading Pride and Prejudice again.

DO YOU GUYS REALIZE THAT IT'S ALMOST CHIRSTMAS!?!?!?!?!?
so excited.

okay, this is where i get vague and girly, and, truthfully, you don't need to read anymore. there's no more important information beyond this point.

so I've been thinking about someone recently. i've really only told my roommate, but that's not important. I've had two dreams about him (yes, he's a boy) and in each of them...well, it was like old times. and i've realized that i miss him. i miss him so much that when i think about him, i'm filled with a dreadful longing, a feeling not of want, but of need. i want so badly to talk to him, even if it's a bunch of words on the internet. and then i think "well, what if he's otherwise occupied?" and then i feel really sad because, even though i don't expect him to wait around for me, and i know it's been quite a long time, it would be just awful to find out that he had a girlfriend. so i hope that if he appears in my dreams tonight, i'm able to hug and kiss him and tell him how much i love him and miss him and how sorry i am that things ended the way they did and how much i want him back, how much i want to be held in his arms.

you all thought I was talking about Joe, didn't you?

well, SURPRISE! i wasn't haha.

so, that's it. i love you all with every fiber of my being and i wish you well. and i'll see you next week...if you're lucky! haha sorry, that was mean. but i only have like, three days at home (not counting the travel days and thanksgiving), but then i promise to be back and love you all up with my Christmas break.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SHOULD COME TO ASU NEXT YEAR.
no exceptions.
