Today I woke up, and actually gasped when I saw the sun glaring through the trees outside my door. Its the most beautiful day ever, and I am so grateful - its the weekend, I have no work to do this weekend (aside from a philosophy discussion post, but that'll take me all of 10 minutes, and obligatory studying) and I'm out of class at 1pm today! Could I be any happier? Doubtful. Sunshine always puts me in the grandest of moods. After my exam, Allan and I are going to get ice cream and sit in the sunshine. PERFECT.
I found this really neat little site, called The Burning House. People post pictures and lists of things they would take if their house were to catch on fire, and some of the pictures are beautiful and the objects so interesting. Makes you wonder why these things are so important to them, what's the story behind them.
What would you take in the event of a fire? I would probably grab:
- my favorite jewelry, namely my Swedish pearls, my mom's engagement ring, and my necklace from Tiffany's.
- all my notebooks from over the years, they're a part of me and I could never let them go.
- my leopard print hatbox and my beautiful vintage hat that my cousin Patrick gave me - it used to belong to a wife of a former mayor of St. John's back in the day.
- my dip pen that Dave gave me for my 20th birthday.
- my laptop.
- three of my favorite books. I don't even know what those would be right now, I guess I'd have to actually risk losing them to really find out!
- and of course, Dave himself. I'd probably let everything else on the list burn if it meant saving him, because he's pretty and I like him.
Now its exam time, kids. Wish me luck!

can I go back to bed now?
Despite only having one class today at 2pm, I am more tired than I was yesterday when I had two classes at 10am and 12pm respectively. My body is a strange little place. Contemplating going home and reading in the bathtub and maybe taking a nap, but I think what I really need is to WAKE UP. Can't wait until Daniel & co return tonight, its going to be lovely times. If anything will wake me up, it will be them!
My one class today though was pretty good. I was disappointed that both my anthropology and chemistry classes are in room 2010 of the chemistry building. If you've never been, let me paint you a picture - its a tiny lecture hall, with fold-down WOODEN seats that make my back ache, and its always way, way too hot. I can't even imagine how bad this is going to be come August.
Aside from the classroom, anthropology seems like it will be a most enjoyable time - my prof is HOT. Not only is he hot, he's also young, hails from Russia, and seems like a very competent and sweet person. I'm pretty excited. He has lots of movies in store for us on the syllabus, including HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH towards the end of the summer. You can imagine my glee when I read that. Also, in sympathy of the fact that our classroom will probably moreso resemble an oven by the middle of the semester, he's offered the option of having outside classes to us on particular hot days. Now that sounds just darling.
Time for some more 30 day movie challenge now. Yay, I have school and hence internet again, do you love it?
DAY 24: YOUR FAVORITE ACTRESS/ACTOR
Cate Blanchett
Naturally, there are thousands upon thousands of amazing actors out there in the world of film. But darling Cate takes the cake for me. She's a stunningly beautiful woman, and I've seen her in the most diverse roles I've seen any actor in. She played Queen Elizabeth in Elizabeth. She played Galadriel in The Lord of The Rings Triology. She played Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator. She was even BOB DYLAN in I'm Not There, and in my opinion was the best Bob Dylan in the movie. If I see her name attached to a movie, I have high hopes that it'll be great. I don't think I've actually seen her in a bad movie, honestly. She is a princess.
Now I must go study some chemistry (already, you say? 'tis intersession, friends) and read over some notes for health ethics. I am already trying my best to do the good student thing. Wonder how long that'll last? Probably until TacomiSmit arrives back on the East Coast. Hehe. I hope everybody is outside enjoying this gorgeous, gorgeous day! Love.
