Wearing Nothing But a Towel

Some like to shower in the morning when they wake up, some like to shower sometime during the day, and some (like myself) like to shower at night right before they go to bed.

A few minutes after midnight I thought it was time to get ready for bed so I thought to myself, 'Shower time!' Unfortunately, one of my roommates beat me to it as I was about to step out of my room! This is probably the first time it has ever happened since I'm usually the only one who ever showers this late. Therefore, as I type this I am wearing nothing but my turquoise-coloured towel... Irritated and wanting nothing more than to go to bed.

Why don't I just go to bed already? Well, I physically can't bring myself to do it. I need to shower before I crawl into bed; I've gotten so used to this routine that deviating would be uncomfortable. In the few rare times that I've done it the past I just felt dirty, literally and figuratively speaking. Besides, I'll never get up early enough to shower and make it to class on time. That's something I can't risk when I have to look presentable to meet with the powers that be at my college (read: the Board of Trustees) right after my morning class.

Ooh.

I don't hear the shower anymore, which means that person is done!

A Cup of Mocha and a Slice of Nutty, Choc Chip Banana Bread

That's basically what I'm munching on and sipping away as I have a go at productivity this afternoon.

I'm actually staying on task and the same can be said for last night because I managed to cross off everything on my to-do list. Yes, I spent my Friday night studying! It came at the expense of my social life but it needed to be done. For the past couple weekends hanging out took priority over studying leaving me scrambling to get things done on Sunday, but, not this weekend!

I suppose another reason for my sudden surge in productivity is that I know I'm not doing any studying tonight ;). However, I'll update you all on that tomorrow (or in a few days) with some pictures. Well, here's a hint:

MEXICAN PARTY!!! Costumes! Tequila! Margaritas!

I Would Like a Lovely Bouquet of Pink and White Tulips

With Valentine's Day right around the corner and no one to spend it with... Actually, I'll be spending the evening with my books. So never mind! Haha.

I've always been impartial about Valentine's Day; the day's intentions are cute but commercialized. There are countless ads trying to reel you in to the commercial and materialistic side of the day but is it really that different from any other day in that respect? Not really.

I digress.

I received an e-mail from NWA saying they'll give me 25 miles for every dollar I spend at FTD.com, which got me to wondering what FTD.com is but as it turns out it's just an online flower shop. Surprise, surprise. But then my eyes landed on that beautiful bouquet and my heart just melts because I'm a sucker for flowers, pretty things, romantic gestures, and the whole deal. It's just something so lovely that would be appreciated regardless of whether or not it's Valentine's Day.

Sigh.

My books definitely won't be buying me that...

Warm, Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Mug of Cold Milk

Tonight was one of those extremely rare nights when I didn't do any homework not because I was procrastinating but because there was just nothing due tomorrow. I don't know when I'll have another night like this again so I tried to relish it. 'Tried' because I do feel a bit lost when I don't have any work to do; instead of breathing a sigh of relief after finishing an ungodly amount of work ahead of schedule you panick because you don't know what to do next. Of course, maybe that only happens to me...

So what did I do with my lovely day off from homework? Well, I helped set up and participated in the Chinese New Year celebration at my college, watched a bit of 'Aviator' that I ended up not liking, and then baked some wonderful crispy chocolate chip cookies. Mmm. They are absolutely delicious, especially when you have a mug of milk to enjoy it with.

I did some "serious" thinking tonight though about something that's been nagging at me. I'm deliberating on whether or not I should participate in Lu'au. It's a huge committment, and I feel like I've already committed myself to one too many things, although it's something I've been wanting to do. I think Auana is one of the easiest dances to perform but... I still need to do a bit more thinking. I don't like committing myself unless I know I can put my heart and soul into it (seriously) and I'm just worried that taking on an extra task will take away from my passion.

Anyway, it's four minutes past 11 and I'm planning on doing some reviewing for tomorrow's classes and finishing the rest of 'Male Bodies, Women's Souls' before calling it a night. (I need to do some studying). Maybe I'll help myself to another cookie. ;)

A.S.A.P., Please
