Covet A Brainy Tune

For the curious: I had frozen blueberries, a pouch of instant hot chocolate mix, and some peanut butter lying around. I thought it’d be an interesting smoothie combo (albeit rare, perhaps), but I went with it. It was a gamble. AND I WON. Chocolatey, nutty, and fruity all in one go. Plus I’ve got my serving of fruit in there, and plenty of protein from the PB, even some calcium and Vitamin D from the skim milk. No extra sugar necessary. Is this too good to be true?

Immediately after buying, Lacy and I sang a beautiful duet along to the music.

Repeat…

So now that finals are over, I’ve got a whole month full of plans to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (exceptokayworkwhatever). 

I plan to eat all day, drink all night, and watch HIMYM and play The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion until my eyes bleed and my brain melts through my ears. I deserve it, damnit! It was a rough semester, what with five courses, night classes twice a week, a math teacher from hell (hell is apparently Russia, btw), and working part-time. My only day off would be on Sundays, and that was reserved for errands such as grocery shopping and laundry (as well as some lovely dinners over at Lacy’s mom’s house). And I STILL managed to maintain my A-average. I’m damn proud of myself, but I was very much looking forward to a break….

…until something unbelievable happened.

Lacy’s been sick this whole week, and just a few nights ago she jokingly asked, “How come YOU never get sick? What if YOU’RE the one making me sick?” to which I lightheartedly replied, “ME?! You’re exposed to thousands of people when you go to work [in New York] every day, and you’re blaming ME??” She laughed. I laughed. We went to sleep. 

And then I woke up this morning, the morning of my first day of thirty days of freedom. I woke up with a sore throat, phlegm, and runny nose.

Of course. Of COURSE. Perfect timing. I wonder who’s responsible….You know who you are <glare>. 

(I just sneezed. Thought you’d like to know.) The first thing I did this morning was make some chai tea, to which I added plenty of honey and one lemon cough drop, because there are no lemons in this household. It seemed like a good idea, and guess what! It’s pretty damn tasty.

Anyway…I’ve run out of steam, so I think that’s enough for now. Thanks for reading!

In one week, FINALS week, I was able to finish the first season of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. This is a reaction post.

WHHHATTTTTTT?!?!?!?! Ted and Robin got together, but Lily and Marshall broke up?!!!! WHY. WHY? WHY??? I know this is a sitcom or dramedy, even, but this makes me even more anxious about the idea of marriage. Awful. This is awful. Just ONCE I’d like to see people stay together for good. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK? Real love exists, damnit!

Starting season 2….now!

I can’t really describe how I feel. At least not accurately. I suppose it’s a complex mixture of absolute glee and enthusiasm as well as a vague sense of bashfulness regarding the extent of my rampant thrill. Simply put, I’m comparable to a prepubescent twelve-year-old at a Justin Bieber concert. One side of me embraces it, while the other (more abrasive side of me) mocks me and cringes with embarrassment.

I’ve realized that I often fight with myself, and I wonder if it’s normal.

“There’s a war inside of me…

And I feel like I wouldn’t like me if I met me”

Protect ALL the electronic devices!!

So why am I torturing myself with glorious pictures of food I can’t eat?

I’m in a good place right now. Yes.

I normally don’t like shopping, but I’ve had them since Christmas, and who doesn’t enjoy getting things for free? To counteract the new clothes, I will also be donating part of my old wardrobe.  There’s so much that I never wear, so it all evens out.

Starting it off with some philosophy, sociology of minorities and race groups, and abstract reasoning (which is fancy talk for advanced algebra and trigonometry). I’m not sure what to expect, so I’ll start the new semester with an open mind.

Edit: I even used EXCEL to make a neat, color-coded schedule for myself. Organization is important!

Edit: This game is awesome, and I definitely recommend it to EVERYONE.

It’s gonna happen! I’m so excited I might poop.
