I'm home now. It's Josh's 7th birthday, and my final final exam (heh) is over. It's also carnival week at SMS. Tomorrow I'm going to see weezer in new york and today I bought two tickets to go see fountains of wayne and BEN KWELLER on the 22nd. I've been wanting to see Ben for about 6 years now. Good times.
My allergies are wreaking havoc on my throat. I've completely moved out of my dorm, though I still have to turn in my room key. I've got my phone back. I got an A in italian... cuz apparently sto benone. ;-)

I'm looking foward to partying tonight... but with sean and joe who knows what that'll entail. Not that they aren't awesome guys, but I have a good feeling that tonight will consist of a star wars movie and ice cream. (io espero)

While I was taking my italian exam I felt like I was in over my head, but I got an A so apparently I did alright. But anyway, by the 9th page I was mentally exhausted by the lingual challenge at 8am in the morning, and by the hour and a half of test under my belt. With the final exercise infront of me, suddenly I feel my wits returning and start to actually enjoy myself. The last exercise involved me writing about my future self, ten/fifteen years down the road. talk about some good times I'm gonna have. With a brother in costa rica and another in the white house.. hehe and another in high school... it should be an amazing time. I'll be a teacher living in the countryside with my charming and energetic children and dashing and brilliant husband, or maybe I'll be a painter. It'll be good times.

I'm starting to feel better about the things that have been bothering me. Maybe it's premature but with these exams out of the way, and my room loaded and packed away, and josh's bday taken care of, I'm starting to feel like all the other things that are haunting me are far away. Not that I dont totally need to have a few awesomely feel good days right about now... but there is something to be said about the power of the "thanks so much" handshake you offer the teacher at the end of the exam.

and i found out that apparently I am special... or different... or whatever
yesterday i found out that not everyone's nose sweats when they eat starbursts.
mine does though. =-)

okay, enough randomness. Onto birthday singing and dinner with dad and parties with the jedi. god i love the jedi.
