It is my mother's birthday. I hope you have a lovely day mom. As for things going on here I have a virus :( I've been coughing with a fever and just gross for a few days now. Hopefully it gets better soon. The doctor thinks I should still go to class "if I can." What does that even mean? I am physically capable of walking to class. Definitely not capable of keeping a train of thought going for too long. My brain has checked out. Let's just say thank goodness for spell check becauses checked was definitely "ckeck ed" just a second ago.
In case you haven't heard, (which I don't think I told anyone at home anyway), I got honors! I'm not sure which level yet. I won't know until the end of the month. But I will be graduating with honors. Oh that reminds me, that kinda-date-maybe-thing I went on Wednesday was apparently a date. He's really sweet, and do not fear, there was at least a foot between us the whole time. He is a total gentlmen. Not really sure where this is goin, but it's nice to have aguy express interest in you in such a repectable fashion. Pistachio's good too. He's just chillin in his aquarium right now trying to walk through glass like he always does. Well, I think I'm going to go get some breakfast. I'm feeling applesauce right now. Then I'll try to study for my chem quiz, and we'll see if I get to class.

Wow. It's been a while.
Since it's been so long, I'll just go with the highlights. (Not that all of them are great, but you get what I mean.) If you don't already know, Alex and I broke up while he was visiting in February. That's a lot of the reason why I haven't been on here in a while. I just needed to get my life back together. Basically, the long distance just wasn't healthy for either of us. Unfortunately, I was the only one who thought this was a good enough reason to end things, but we will both move on and remember each other fondly. Last term ended well, I got about what I expected in grades, not great, but certainly not shabby either. Spring break was fun, but tooooo short. Driving took up so much time, but it was worth it to have something to haul everything back in. That reminds me, I have officially decided to go the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. It's in Tuscon, and will be so much warmer than here. (It is currently overcast with a very large chance of rain.)
This term has been a bit hectic. I'm taking classes that I don't really have the background for. So, I'm having to learn a lot of things on my own. I absolutely adore my Shakespeare class. The professor is understanding, laid back, engaging, and really knowledgable about Shakespeare and others interpretations of him. My Chemistry class is a piece of work though. I tested into the class below this one, but it conflicted with my schedule and I got an exception. I currently have an A- or B+ in it though. So fear not, my grades are not suffering. I also turned in my honors thesis last Monday. I'm defending it this Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, just fyi, I did not pass my Japanese exit exam. It was quite ridiculous. I have an A- average in all of my Japanese classes, but our test was to give a formal presentation, which we've never done before. And he made me teach physics in Japanese. Do you have any idea how difficult that is? They teach it in English in Japan most of the time! Also "what do you find interesting about velocity?" is not a fair question. I have a nasty suspiction that he's trying to get back at me for dropping his class. Oh well, as my advisor said, I don't need that minor, and no grad school will care if I didn't pass one stupid little test. Besides, I may get to work for a research group in Arizona that builds lasers for Tokyo!!
On a more fun note. We had All Greek formal on Friday. I went with my friend Sarah. It was quite lovely. Unfortunately, that afternoon I fell down an entire flight of stairs and landed on my left hand. It is quite bruised and swollen. I went to the nurse, and she thought my wrist was sprained. My wrist isn't even swollen. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go the clinic if it keeps bothering me as much as it is, and get a more educated opinion. Also, yesterday was our Gamelan concert. For those of you that don't know what that is, I am in an Indoseian band called Gamelan Cahayan Asri. It's a traditional Balinese band, that is basically a lot of different gong-like and xylophone-like instruments. I play the Jublag, Penechya and Cantilan. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how you spell them.
As on the boy front, (because I know my father at least will ask) there is really nothing terribly exciting going on. I may have a date on Wednesday, but I'm actually not all that certain if it is a date or just two friends going out to dinner. I guess we will just have to see. I doubt anything serious will actually come of it. He is a really great guy, but not really my type. Oh well. Plenty of fish in the sea... or should I say Arizona? Just kidding. I'm not on a man hunt at grad school. I'm there to work, learn how to live on my own, and grow into whatever person the lord decides I should be.
