spring time wooo

There are only 4 weeks of class plus finals week left and then I'm done with this semester! I can't wait because it's been dragging on and I'm tired of it. I got an A on my last medical microbiology test which I totally deserved because I studied my butt off for that. But my super happy news for now is that I got into the STAR research program at the Medical College of Georgia this summer! I get to do my own research and they will pay me and it will be awesome. My three roommates and I are looking for an off campus place to live for next year that's not too far from Tech. If anyone has any relatively inexpensive suggestions, please let me know. Most of the people we've called and emailed about looking at houses haven't gotten back to us and it's been over a week. I think we're not looking hard enough though. We just don't want to be homeless next year. I went to see the Lewis Black show the other day. It was hilarious. So apparently I'm allergic to soft contact lenses. So I'm going to have to stick with glasses for now and maybe try hard contacts this summer and then hopefully I'll get to do Lasik sometime in the near future. Until then I have to search for some new sunglasses that fit on my glasses.
I keep having this deep artistic urge inside of me but I feel like I don't have the time or resources to do something, and I actually don't even really know what it is I want to do. Last night I pulled out my coloring book and crayons, which was fun, but it didn't really fulfill my need to make something that could be considered real art. What I ultimately think would put my creative longings at ease would be to decorate a house. But that one might take a while... like a 15 years from now while... when I finish with graduate school and have a job and hopefully will be making lots of money... yeah.

randomness before bed

I just thought I'd get some stuff out of my head before I went to sleep.

Today I decided that my favorite building on campus is the Swann foreign language building. It kind of reminds me of my highschool's old building, even though this building is pretty new. It has some of those nice hard wood floors that kinda creak and make the perfect noise when you walk on them. And the smell of the building just kind of makes me feel really comfortable. Unfortunately it's the foreign language building and so I don't get to be in there much. I was there today picking up some papers from outside of my Spanish professor's office. As I sat outside the building waiting for the bus I had one of those beautiful day happy moments. It was quiet and the air smelled nice. And I had just come out from a really cool building. I soaked it in before I got on the bus and went back to my room where I remained for the rest of the day. But it was nice enough out to have the windows open and I could just dance around the apartment and act like I was frolicing outside.
I then commenced the cleaning of the bathroom. It had gotten to that nasty point where the shower was starting to clog up, so I had to pull the monster out of the drain (I know you probably didn't care to know about that part).
After that this really artsy feeling hit me. And for a couple hours I wanted to quit Tech and become a modern dancer and a photographer. I tried playing with my camera, but I don't have the manual here so I couldn't figure out anything cool. So then the feeling became kind of depressing as I sat at the computer and just looked and photography and dance stuff online instead of getting up and actually doing real art. I felt lame.
The day was slightly downhill from there because I didn't become anymore productive. I have too much free time on Wednesdays. So much that it's really hard to focus on work. I need to stay away from my apartment.
Well I think that's enough babbling to keep my mind from racing and let me fall asleep. Nighty night my peeps. :-)
