PHONE CALL

i just talked to my sister, yes julie, for 1:01:51 over the phone. a 200% improvement for her. ;)

GRADE

not to brag or anything, but i got the highest grade (45) on my forensic anthro presentation (on kennewick man) and the highest grade in the class. i'm not even an anthro major. :P but hey, i did spend quite a bit of time working on my presentation, and i also went to go talk to her about it a couple of times (one time being about an hour). so either one of three things took place; the presentation wasn't all that bad and actually quite good, she saw that i put in the effort, or it was my stunning charm. ;)

ANOTHER ONE DOWN. ONE TO GO.

yep, i just got out of my final for my night class. i missed a handful t/f and matching, but i'm not too worried seeing as she said last night's class had about an average of 47.5 out of a total of 50.

welp, that's three down and one more to go. my goal is to hug all my profs. ;) i mean, who said you couldn't hug your professors?? what were they thinking... i think she liked that i made cookies, but she had to share them with her 5 TAs.

ALAS...

i gave her a hug. then i ran out...


two down with two more to go still and yet i feel accomplished.

THE VERDICT IS IN...

scott peterson gets the death penalty.

LATKES AND KUGEL

so, wendy and i went over to yael's and we had salad, latkes that yael made, and kugel that wendy made the other day. it was a really yummy chanukah meal. now i get to eat leftovers!

now yael and wendy are on their way to synagogue...

my love is at work...

and so i guess i'll study for my tuesday night final...

HOLIDAY PARTIES

so, i think the parties went well today. that is, after the first 10 or so minutes that i was sitting alone at the anthro club party. but yeah, there was lots of pizza and cookies and then cookie came by. the usual club members were all there as well as the anthro staff (even though they had the dean's party as well), and i went photo crazy and took pictures until everyone was tired of having their picture taken. we had our white elephant gift exchange. i took a duct tape wallet and received a 5" black and white television that also serves as an am/fm radio. then, the group party went well. wendy brought the plate of cookies i made up and the pumpkin and egg nog ice cream and laura brought lemonade and then they had fruit salad that was pretty good. it was the last group of the semester and i won't be able to go next semester since i'll have karin's class (one of the two i'm taking).

got my jar of sauce today. karin said that her mom really liked it and that her brother liked it too, even though he only likes homemade foods? she said she hasn't tried it, but to let her know if it's good.

today was a sad day in my life and will always hold a special place in my heart. yes, it was the final day of victor's class. i took him the book he had let me borrow at the beginning of the semester and some snickerdoodles. i gave him a hug and we embraced for several seconds. we had our "moment" and it shall be nevermore. goodbye victor. i shall never forget you or sitting through your classes.

COOKIE MAKING AND CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

so, this morning i got up and had to clean the kitchen, which was a stinking mess. it was absolutely disgusting. last night before i went to bed, i was angry and hated everyone for contributing to such a big nasty unclean mess. i was hoping to wake up this morning and see that the kitchen fairy came during the night, but it was just as bad as when i went to bed. so, after cleaning, i made snickerdoodles and moon rock cookies. i was going to make peanut butter cookies too, but then decided that i probably made enough cookies for both anthro club and group with some left over for us to eat. plus, i need to make some cookies for next week for a pot luck for one of my classes.

wendy had to sew a couple of buttons back on her jacket. i never thought that i would be showing someone else how to knot thread or finish off some hand sewing. she got mad at me because i sewed on one of the buttons. she did the other one though.

i walked over to the bookstore to pick up a few christmas gifts. i found stuff for several people. i won't mention here what they are or who they are for. you'll have to all wait for christmas... ;)


yesterday was my grandma's birthday, so happy birthday grandma! sunday was shar's birthday, so happy birthday shar!

last night in class our professor took us through the dying experience. boy was that powerful. and sad. whoa. it made us all realize what the most important things are in our lives...the people we love.


welp (borrowed that from the back of several of my love's photos from "friends"), that's the latest of what's been going on around here.

THANK GOD THAT'S OVER!

i am so thankful that those 12 minutes, not to mention all that time waiting (my presentation was the last one today, 7 total) are over and history now. well, it did help that afterward she told me that i did a good job.

but now i'm exhausted and i'm ditching my 10am class.

PRESENTATION

i am ready... i think.

MORE ICE CREAM

so, we went to this ice cream shop last night with yael and ron in sebastopol called screaming mimi's. boy was it expensive, but i got a cool little spoon. ;)

I WISHED UPON A FALLING STAR...

today wendy and i went out in search of something to eat. we went by north light and then ended up getting sandwiches and salads at oliver's. a bit later, we both felt like egg nog ice cream and so we walked over to coldstone, but they still didn't have any there. so we decided to go to safeway and found it on sale, so we ended up getting egg nog ice cream and another ice cream as well. then, since wendy didn't have her card with her, i applied for one so we could get the discount. now i have a safeway card.

when we got back, i got a call from nicole and so i went over to help her put the flyers back up on the bulletin board. it looks nice and colorful now. all we need is to replace the poster with the definitions of the four anthropology categories. archaeology was spelled wrong. someone spelled it archeology. i'll have to pick me up a jar of sauce. the lacrosse team is selling it. then i can have some spaghetti.

as i was walking back afterward, i saw a shooting/falling star. it was pretty large and fell about a third across the sky. i made sure to make a good long wish on that one. i wasn't going to miss out on a wish coming from a shooting star as great as that one... if only my wish will come true. ;)

A BOY WHO LOOKS KINDA LIKE MY LOVE...

i found a picture online of a boy who looks kinda like my love, and guess what? his name is kevin too! don't believe me? go here. well, maybe he doesn't look that much like my love... my love doesn't have a shirt like that and he doesn't have spiky hair like that boy.


15 14 more days till my love comes and rescues me from the mean castle.
