"and i'm free...

...free fallin" -tom petty

so a really strange thing happened today. it was such a lovely day that after my roommates and i had lunch we sat outside to enjoy some sunshine. honestly the past couple of days have felt like summer. i wore shorts and a t-shirt all day and was not once cold! :) but today, the strange thing that happened...my keys and phone were sitting on the table and out of no where a flying object comes down onto the table and lands right in front of us. it startled all of us that we jumped and maybe even squealed. a pine cone had fallen out of the tree branches above the table we were sitting on and actually hit my cell phone causing it to fly off the table and slide across the ground. i had to stand up and walk over to pick up my phone which was half covered in sap and now has a crack on the plastic covering(nothing too major but quite a funny story). haha

so i didn't get into the oxford program at my school which is a little disappointing. because think about it...how cool would that be to study for a semester at oxford?! but oh well. what happens happens. i did all i could. i'm on a wait list now if anyone drops out i could go in the fall but it doesn't look too promising. i could reapply and try again for the spring but i don't think the classes would actually help me graduate when i would like to(which will hopefully be a semester early!).
but i'm excited for all the art classes i have been academically advised to take in the fall. now i just need to figure out where i will live since my roommates will be in south africa...

i'm getting excited about my mexico trip swiftly coming up in the next few weeks! there was a fundraiser at a local frozen yogurt place which each team member received $6 off the total price of the trip which was nice. AND i had forgotten about these 2 checks i had which i deposited the other day which coincidentally will basically pay for the entire cost! such a blessing! $100 from my aunt from Christmas(?...if that's true i realize how much a slacker i am) and $209 from a rebate from an apple product which was purchased in october of last year(wow, yes i am a slacker when it comes to depositing checks). this means $309 i forgot i had will now go towards the $312 i owe for my mexico trip! how awesome is that??!!! SO awesome. that's how awesome. :D

all of the music on my iPod was accidentally deleted. poo. i left the pod plugged into my laptop and i closed it without ejecting it(can you match each "it" with it's proper(as in appropriate) noun?...haha english is such a crazy language with weird grammar). so don't do that to yours. it erases all the music.

also, since we are still supporting the scraps initiative at my school and try to use as little electricity as possible i was eating a bowl of cereal tonight while watching a movie in the dark and spilled some milk on my pants. nice, i know.

looking forward to a filled weekend. in the best sense.
