I randomly clicked the “surf tags” feature here on WordPress, and two separate entries that came up were dedicated solely to the description of a visit from a sister. I’m so sad.

I MISS MY SISTER!!!!! :(

Four more days.

It would be three, except I have to go to an ASL silent social on Friday night, which doesn’t put me in Dayton until midnight. It should be fun, but I’m angry just the same.

Also, I found out today that the signs for “work” and “sex” are alarmingly similar. Woops.

I just finished talking with my mom for over an hour about random nothingness. We talked about my family, and she listened to me ramble on about my friends. And I am just thinking how lucky I am to have the people that I have in my life.

I just wrote an entire post about how many great friends I have, but I erased it because I think I missed the mark somewhere. I do currently have more people I can depend on in my life than ever before, but numbers is not the point. It’s the people that are the point. And the people are really special, and way more than I deserve, and I just feel really lucky. And that’s not even counting my ever-present unconditionally loving family, immediate and extended.  

This is kind of a cheesy post, but I’m really happy, so I’m going to hit ‘publish’ anyway.

(I just couldn’t narrow it down to ten.)

11. Schoooool’s out for summer!

10. I’m almost positive I earned a 4.0 this semester. Still waiting on one exam grade, but I felt pretty good about it. (ETA: Just heard back on the exam! Got it!)

9. I start at Primrose on Tuesday. I’m co-teaching in the Explorer’s club, which is the school-age kids. It’s just about the easiest and best job in the world. The kids are so sweet, and we go on field trips. Lots of ‘em.

8. I just downloaded the new version of iTunes, and darn if there isn’t a converter on it! That’s what I get for refusing to change all these months.

7. I get to see Wicked this summer! Twice!

6. My meal plan dollars can buy Starbucks merchandise!

5. I get to see my family in a few hours! And my kitty!

4. Battlestar Galactica season 2 is FINALLY being released in one package. T-minus four days.

3. I am LOVING this song right now. Live Glen Phillips cover of Neutral Milk Hotel’s Two Headed Boy Part 2. (Current favorite part: “And in my dreams you’re alive and you’re crying, as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet. Rings of flowers around your eyes and I’ll love you for the rest of your life (when you’re ready)”)

2. Nickel Creek’s final tour this summer! I’ll be going to a show in KY…with special guest Glen Phillips. I’ve never seen Nickel Creek live, and I’ve only seen Glen once during the Toad reunion tour in…’03, I think. Suuuuper excited!

1. As of this time next year I will be Studying abroad at Keele University in England! About halfway between Birmingham and Manchester. (Home of Dominic Monaghan, btw. Let the stalking begin.) The entire month of April is spring break, so I’ll be traveling around Europe! Yay for new experiences! Yay for traveling! (And yay for British boys!)

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever used so many exclamation points in one entry.
