Yep

Today was a really, really good day.

And a really great way to start the semester.

I just...feel really good about everything right now.

Provolone

So I flew into SLC on Tuesday, signed a contract with Fluer de Lis, moved in Wednesday, and here I am. It's a little pricey, but everything is way worth it. Also, I am currently eating a delicious hummus sandwich. Be jealous.

I'm still really looking forward to class starting. I'm also doing some pretty cool stuff next week. I signed up to take the Rosarch Inkblot Test for a psychology professor, and I'm getting $10 for doing it. I'm also interviewing for a position as a research assistant for something that I'm still not entirely sure about. Some professor's secretary called me and said another student reccomended me for the position, but didn't give a lot of information. If it's paid, I'll have to cut back on my hours TAing. We'll see.

I don't have a whole lot to do this weekend. Already bought my books and school supplies. The only thing I'm doing is making a gift for Tim and Cait's baby shower on Sunday. Speaking of which, I'm going to this adorable fabric shop on Freedom and 5th. Seriously, go there.

Packing: haiku version

Leaving for Provo,
Filling up three suitcases,
Five more syllables.

What I've been listening to

I've been listening to a lot of really mellow, feel-good music lately.

Albums I've been into:
Joshua Radin - Simple Times
Jack Johnson- In Between Dreams
Ingrid Michaelson- Be Okay

I definitely recommend adding these to your itunes collection.

17 days

Ever since I started first grade, I've always gotten really excited as the summer comes to a close and school approaches. I think most kids did up until, I don't know, high school. But for some reason, I still get unreasonably excited for school to start. Perhaps it's because I'm ready to be immersed in learning again? Perhaps it's because I'm a little bored and need more to do? Perhaps it's because buying school supplies is more interesting to me than buying anything else? Perhaps it's because I've bought a ton of cute clothes this summer and am looking forward to wearing something other than a Purple Cow shirt everyday?

E) All of the above.

Also, I spent a good part of yesterday cleaning out my closet.

After:













It might not seem like that huge of a difference, but I ended up with four bags of trash, two bags of recyclables, and two bags for Goodwill.

Purple Cow: haiku version

I smell like a french fry;
Shirt stained with purple ice cream;
Wait, did she want Coke?

My life: haiku version

Heart in Ireland;
In between identities;
Has class started yet?

I can't fall asleep...

...because I keep thinking of what I'm going to wear on the first day of class.

Pathetic, right?

These jeans, this shirt (in black), this shirt (underneath, in white), these shoes (in french blue [I got them on sale last week]), and this scarf (which I just bought on sale with a 30% off coupon).

Man, I seriously need to do more important things with my life.
