I like pretty things and I like nerdy things, and I like rolling down hills, and I like photography, and I like traveling, and I like tea and rugelach. Especially when it's snowing outside.
 Things I will do Once I am on Break 
▼

  • Go out to dinner with the boy to celebrate
  • Dress up super pretty and do my makeup and take care of myself and my appearance for the first time in what feels like forever
  • SEE MY BEST FRIENDS
  • Go thrifting with my best friends
  • Send my little sister off to her first Prom
  • Dress up for Promenade to take pictures of my siblings looking fabulous and take pictures with my friends of US looking fabulous
  • Plan ALL THE GARDEN PARTIES for this summer
  • Plan an epic vacation with my mom
  • Plan a vacation to take with the boy
  • Plan weekend getaways with the boy and with friends
  • SNUGGLE MY KITTY CAT AND MY PUPPY DOG
  • Take an Epsom Salt Bath
  • Get a facial
  • Hang out with my mom in her garden with the dogs all day long
  • BRUNCH

I want to go on an epic train journey soon.  There is one in Canada that I want/need to do before I die.  The train has a glass ceiling and two levels and you can gape at the amazing Canadian scenery while enjoying a nostalgic form of travel.
 Registration

I had been kind of really super bummed/mad at the fact seniors took all of the spots in cs 320 for next semester before I even got a chance to register as a junior.  TBH I’m still pissed about that.  But I’m really quite happy with my schedule now, and I can use the time that not taking a second 300-level cs course left me by working on my second major in Economics.  I really should work harder to forge relationships with those professors and determine what interests me within the field anyways.  So all is well.  Even though I will have to wake up for 8:30 classes every day next fall.  C’est la vie.

I made soup… With veggies and Brie and rosemary

I have to constantly remind myself of my plans to travel extensively in my 20s to keep myself from wanting a dog too much

Today I dressed like the American flag b/c Melodie and I knew we were running a ‘Murica case for our fifth round.  When I was getting dressed for the occasion this morning, the boy decided we should match and put on his american flag chubbies shorts.  Most ‘Murican couple ever.

I want to go to the Madeleine Islands so so so so badly.  I have a week vacation planned out - compete with a budget and an itinerary - both drawn out in extensive detail.  Now I just need to find a week that Jon and I can take to go on our adventure.  Maybe in May or August, either before or after my internship.
 I HAVE A JOB THIS SUMMER! 
▼

And it’s at the place I wanted to work!  So I’ll be in Boston over the summer, close to my boyfriend, close to my friends in NYC (relatively), doing something I love, earning $$$, getting shit on my résumé, etc., etc.  This also means I get to pay TAXES this coming year, which I really shouldn’t be excited about but for me - this is quintessential of adulthood.  Yay for growing up!

I did these yesterday.  And other awesome runs.  But I’m most proud of the first one because I’ve never jumped off a cliff before.
 Things That Happen 
▼

  • I’ve gotten phone interviews with several of the Tech Startups I met last week - which is exciting because this is the first time I’ve every really looked for a job and firsts are always exciting.
  • I’m doing really well in my classes this semester
  • I have a Combinatorics exam tomorrow that I’m kind of worried about but mostly only because…
  • I am about 90% sure I have the flu and it is incredibly hard to concentrate and motivate myself to do things, which is AWFUL because I have so much I need to be doing.
  • I can’t swallow truly solid food b/c my throat is so sore.

 Snowy Woes

The stupid blizzard made the administration cancel our debate tournament and now we are losing almost $3,000 of money we needed to be able to afford to pay reg fees at other tournaments and to afford transportation to said tournaments.  As it is, we barely have enough money to send one team per tournament to 3 tournaments for the rest of the semester.

But I’m most upset about how much work my fellow eboard members and I put into this and now there is a very real chance that it isn’t going to happen, even at a later date.  This is months of planning and saving last semester to be able to afford this.  Our novices were super excited to be hosting the first Wellesley tournament in 3 years as it would solidify our team’s return to the apda circuit.  I am also incredibly frustrated with myself for having spent so much of my time on this, postponing job applications, when it was all for naught.

Fuck you blizzard.

marlomeekins: follow this artist on twitter! Over this weekend, I walked into my brother’s and my hotel room and told him “this room smells like poop!”  He promptly replied, “That’s your fault then.  Everyone knows guys don’t poop and hot guys don’t fart.” I guess he is just full of shit then.

waltdisneyconfessions: “If I ever get married, I’m expecting my husband to give me a hat box with a puppy inside for our first Christmas together just like Lady in the Tramp. It doesn’t even have to be a cocker spaniel, just a dog we can share our love with” I have legit told the boyfriend these exact words.  Hat box and everything.
 Mini Rant

I have an error in my code.  Python is trying to tell me that I can’t call re.sub(‘[0-9]’, ”, s) on string s.  But you can.  Because regular expressions work on strings.  UGH.
