This is mostly because I want to brag about the girl I get to eat lunch with because I realized how much I miss seeing her. Her name is Paige, she's 5, and she's awesome!

Every Tuesday and Thursday we would get together, rush through eating lunch, and then read a book or color or even make our own jewelry some days. Mostly I think I just miss that she's so honest. I think that little kid's honesty is actually a really cool phenomenon: they say what's true simply because it is--with no ulterior motives.

Luckily, I get to see her again in the fall!

In other news, I haven't blogged in forever and so much has happened since then I wouldn't know where to begin. But, in the past few weeks, I've had a great time hanging out with my college friends who visited and my high school friends who I hadn't seen in a too long.

It's been great!

...But I'm ready to do something productive so hopefully that will start up soon!

Here are some pictures from a walk I went on today. Enjoy!

(This is my favorite. I really liked the texture)

I'm so excited that tomorrow is the weekend!

That's basically all. My attention span is down to an all time low.

Examples:

This is me, finishing my book

And here I am writing an essay

And these are my notes from class today

(Amy, I used that verse you sent me for this one)

By some form of mercy (found mostly in caffeine to combat sleep deprivation), I still got everything done. At least it's fun, right?

StompFest Tomorrow!

and Jamba Juice. at some point.

Well, right about now, I should be reading All the King's Men with some form of diligence considering my procrastination over the past 2 weeks was at an all time high, but I just can't bring myself to it and needed this to stop from falling asleep. As it turns out, the sophomore slump is a reality.

But, I have really been enjoying this semester and this break (kind of break--I've done more reading in the past 48 hours than in all of last week). It has been really good to hang out with my sister. She's 16, a high school sophomore, and has it way more together than I ever have in my life. Which is cool and gives her this alien (to me) sense of direction that is actually pretty inspiring. Today we went to see The Last Song. We both have a sort of sweet spot for Nicholas Sparks despite the fact that he tends to make us cry... a lot. I liked it. And, as always, I liked our drives where we gawk over new music the other one has found and wants to show off and intermix the listening with conversation that can just be honest and unguarded. Being with her is like being safe to be vulnerable.

Other good things that happened this weekend were:

Getting to hang out with Mon and Kels. They're my two best friends from high school (slash kind of junior high). It wasn't until we were all together again, sitting outside of Marble slab because they had closed and we were still there, just talking, that I realized just how much I missed them. I mean, we talk and I miss being able to see them but I realized how much I missed just being with them yesterday--which made really ready for summer to get here.

Selena, Maria, and I signing on a place to live! It was a HUGE relief to know that we had something and now I'm just really antsy to get in there and start decorating. Not to mention that now I'm going to be super ready to get out of the dorms!

Having a good talk with my mom the night I got back.

Anyway, I'm going to attempt to go back and ready another 100 pages of this book before calling it quits for the night.

HAPPY EASTER
