speak now

I was sitting in good old Chemistry yesterday when out of the blue, I turned around and noticed my chemistry family member had the same calculator as me. I don't know about anyone else, but I have one special calculator that I've had for the past eight years that will never be replaceable. I probably screamed at him (but my ability to recognize how loud I'm speaking is minimal at best) because he raised his eyebrows in surprise (I'm actually quiet in class 99% percent of the time except for the 1% of the time when I get really excited). But then, he got over the initial shock of the squeal from the quiet girl and we had a rant about how great our calculator was. Seriously. This thing is love. If I don't have this calculator, I will fail a quiz or a test. It's my pal. He's been here for me through the thick and thin and been my one companion through every test and quiz! I love him. So much. And squealing like a little geek with someone else over the amazing technological perfection over it was quite the pick-me-up I needed to get through the class period.


You know how I was a grumps this week? Well, it resurfaced during the week, again. I'm not the type of person who really "fights" with people because I'm prone to the silent treatment when I don't want to deal with anything. It's bad. A terrible habit of mine to want to be my own hero and save the day alone. Psh! I think it mostly made me realize how even though I might have come a long way in the "letting people in" thing, the dealing with things with other people thing hasn't. It's just an observation I made this week and not one I'm proud of. It probably or maybe comes weird coming from me considering it's me and I'm loud and optimistic and chipper, but I've always  been bad about confronting and talking through things. It's hard for everyone. I think that's going to be weaved into my "goals to accomplish" list. Because, really, when you do actually confront them right away, it causes a lot less problems later. A lot.


Anyways, I'm currently in my second most occupied space on the college campus. The study lounge. Ooohlala. I finished my lab report and now I'm just editing pictures and writing this post while people around me do calculus. Woot! I took these pictures with my darling pal Margaret of Margaret squared. These pictures make me miss home and all of its mountainous splendor so much! I got this dress over Christmas and I still don't know if I'm completely in love with it. However, I love any navy/white combination and the stripes at the top. I want a spring sweater like this!

I think I need to swear off opaque tights because I think I have gone through six pairs now. My mom got these as a replacement for a replacement for a pair of tights that ripped. And now these ones have. Womp womp womp! I just got my new boots in the mail to replace these ones which also broke. I was walking around campus and stepped in a puddle and my entire foot was drenched. I only then realized that the entire rubber sole at the bottom was completely torn off. Being in college, I'm really hard on my shoes since I walk. Everywhere. And these are Charolette Russe and were only 15 dollars, so now I just need to learn to invest in more heavy duty ones. Woot!

so glad you were around when they said speak now
