this dismal weather isn't helping my mood one bit. it's not like i'm in a bad mood, per say, just a rather extremely unmotivated and somewhat neutral state of mind. friday i worked for a bit. the rain was starting just as i was pulling out of the parking lot at 6. sweet. perfect timing. just in time for the weekend. i came home to an empty house, thought i'd try to catch a quick rejuvenating powernap before i went out, and didn't wake up until 1030. sorry i didn't hear my cell phone. saturday i helped my mom clean the entire upstairs of the house, including the super-old bookcases. i found our copy of midnight in the garden of good and evil and immediately set about starting it in our comfiest of chairs. before i knew it sleep swept me away again. i woke up and helped make some pizza and cake - it was my grandparents' birthday (They're so close we just always celebrate them at the same time). i've recently developed a high affinity for the food network, so i made a positively delicious spinach and cheese pizza on whole wheat dough with mushroom and onion and cheese stuffed crust. mmm mmm. and dark chocolate truffles with marshmallows, peanuts, raisins, and popcorn. it was great to see the look on my grandparents' faces when we gave them tickets for a red sox / yankees game in july. :)
today for mother's day i had all these elaborate plans of surprising my mom with a four course dinner (even bought all the yummy ingredients at one of her favorite stores -whole foods!) but i felt like a trainwreck. rye invited me to go hiking with him and dan howe tonight but i was deterred by my utter lack of breathing ability and the very strong winds outside as the dusk settled in.
i actually did my calc take home test though, somehow. i just hope i did it correctly.
also i got another $1000 scholarship yesterday (from the lovely people at the rhode island higher education assisstance authority) to put towards books and lab fees. sweet deal. one step closer to my building, right jon?
well, i'm dreading first period music theory tomorrow (i've been to 1 class since i've been home from california) and i think i hear some benedryl calling my name. excuse me, i need to curl up with my new book!
12 more days of classes!!!!
