Never Saw Blue Like That
And even now
I'm so amazed,
It's like a dream,
It's like a rainbow,
It's like the rain.
And some things are the way they are
And words just can't explain.
It wouldn't be a break without me catching some sort of illness. Thankfully it wasn't anything too deathly this time around. Just a common cold. Just enough to make you sound like shit so the people around you run away with their little surgical masks and personal cans of lysol even though you don't feel half as bad as you sound. Such is life. And do you honestly think a cold would stop me? Hellllllll no! I don't think I was home much at all this entire break, and that's the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it! My punishment for doing such is having a shitload of homework to finish plus a lot of running around to do before I go back to school, not to mention the lack of proper rest has resulted in me not shaking the cold off before I return. Oh well, it's getting better.
I have the most random shit-to-do list (minus the homework):
-Figure out a gift for White Elephant. Yes, my floor is doing that. For those of you who don't know what that is, a "White Elephant" is a very screwy way of playing polyana. The rules are identical to that of a polyana with the exception of the guidelines for the gift. You cannot buy your person something. Instead, you must give them something of yours you don't want. Oh, the possibilities!!! Any suggestions? Oh, my person is Michal W! So at least I have someone with a sense of humor!
-Find my conformation robe to use in a history presentation about The Knights of Hospitalier. Don't ask.
-Buy decorations to decorate my RA's door with. Well, not my RA persay. I have a Basil RA who's door I must decorate for RA Appreciation Week. YAY RA'S!!!!!!!!
-Figure out what baking untensils I have to drag back to school with me. Everything I could possibly need in order to bake as many desserts as possible in 5 1/2 hours (with the help of some awesome Masque freshmen). WOOT!
-And then there is the basic grocery shopping and packing still do to. Plus homework. Maybe I should prioritize my homework some time soon. Something tells me it would be beneficial for me to do so!
Although I really wanted to get some work done today and did not, I probably could not have asked for a better ending to a break. Honestly, if I had to pick my favorite day then it would be today. I spent a little over an hour with my dance teacher (who is really more like my friend who happens to teach me tap) Nina. We worked on a little tap combination just for shits an giggles. I was going through serious tap withdrawls, and she hadn't choreographed for anyone over the age of nine in quite some time. Fun all around!
Later on in the night I met up with my sister, Amy, and Doug at Cheeseburger in Paradise for some dinner before we went to go see Happy Feet. I love Cheeseburger in Paradise! And props to Amy for being the only person not to order mini-cheeseburgers.
HAPPY FEET. That's about all I can say. Words cannot describe my enthusiasm! Holy lord! Not only were the animated moves of the one and only Savion Glover surprisingly realistic, the movie itself was irresistably adorable! Half the time I didn't know if Doug was laughing at the movie or at me going "AWWWW!" every five seconds. All I really have to say is that I think I found my new favorite movie!
After the movie, since it was still relatively early, Amy and Doug came back to our house to watch Nightmare Before Christmas (since Amy never saw it). That pretty much consisted of Doug and I sitting there saying every line, humming every tune, and singing every lyric along with the movie. Oh come on! We're not losers...most of the time. After that we watched some SNL. Good show, good show.
And here I am, ending this wonderful day with all of you. All I have to say is there were so many times tonight where I couldn't help but smile and am still smiling. Some things in life have that effect on you and you just can't help it. And for someone who hasn't felt that in a very long time, I have to say it's good to be reaquaited with such a feeling.
And it feels like now,
And it feels always,
And it feels like coming home.
