well....

today has been rather pleasant.
i didn't have to stay at tennis today- she said it was too cold so we could leave if we wanted to. that was nice.
german wasn't too painful.
i went to the slc to do my english work for my midterm conference, and got it all done.
met lauren and kristen at the tate bus stop (nice surprise to see lauren there!). i was happy that kristen could come to folk dancing today. she's so sweet and really a lot of fun. she seemed to have a good time too.

we did some of my favorite dances in folk dancing today. we did the birdie in the cage contra dance, AND the german lumberjack dance.

then i ate lunch with kristen, lisa, flynn, and some other girl. it was good. and i was stuffed.

i had my midterm english conference after that. i was a little upset to hear that my participation grade was only a B+, but if that's what i have, then seriously... what's he giving everyone else?

but it was pretty easy. we went over my last paper and i think he was just a little too picky on my paper. some things that he counted off for...well...

but he did ask me if i was an english major. we talked a little about double majoring or comparative lit. but i really don't like to read french. i like to speak french. i'm so excited about conversational french class- i can't wait to take that!

since then i've just been doing homework or reading or doing nothing. it's been nice. i have that linguistics test tomorrow, but i'm not too concerned with it. i've kind of shut down, now that i've realized spring break is VERY soon!

i need a week away from my roommate. things aren't going well (do they ever?) and i'm just getting sick of her. she's not very nice. and certainly not personable. and she's just very immature.

for example
yesterday i was taking a nap when her very loud friend came in. they had an entire conversation in normal-loud tones while i was asleep. they woke me up. i huffed a little, ahemed a little, and flounced around. and they did nothing. so afterwards i said something to her. she said, "well, remember there are 2 people in this room. you do it too!"

frankly, no, i don't.
i did have a phone conversation in here once while she was asleep, but i used low tones and tried to keep quiet. she never does that. she also refuses to turn the doorknob all the way so that it closes quietly. she burst into the room at 7:15 monday morning like that. i was very upset with her. i now have no qualms about drying my hair in the morning or hitting the snooze button. she's a sophomore, she can live in an apartment. i can't. she can deal.

also, i'm cold.

i'm coming home this weekend for anna's birthday! i'm so excited. i have so many wonderful plans i just can't wait. and yes, playing rook is one of them! ginna and i are riding home together, and i'm very excited about that. the drive goes so much faster with someone else in the car with you. we'll have to leave friday around noon and have to come back early sunday, but i'm excited.

and then spring break is just the weekend after this one! ooh lovely!

last night i had a monopoly on the tv. so i got gilmore girls/american idol, one tree hill/sex and the city, and then whatever else i wanted to watch. it was wonderful. it's so nice to get to watch gilmore girls again. it's a great show. and i always love sex and the city.

but i need to finish up my french paper. i found a great website on french culture, especially french education for it (www.understandfrance.org)

yall should check it out. it's neato.

love
