"And these are the moments, I know heaven must exist...

...and these are the moments I know all I need is this. I have all I've waited for, and I could not ask for more." -Edwin McCain

I come home this week! Tomorrow for me is December 1st.


Took it look enough....

See you kids soon <3

"Can't you see that it's just raining? Ain't no need to go outside...

...baby, you hardly even notice, when I try to show you this song is meant to keep you from doin' what your s'pposed too. Wakin' up too early, maybe we can sleep in - make you banana pancakes, pretend like it's the weekend now, we could pretend it all the time. Can't you see that it's just rainin', ain't no need to go outside." -Jack Johnson


As an independent note from my tomorrow post:


I've decided to re-read every Harry Potter book, as well as get "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Quidditch Through the Ages" and "Tales of the Beedle Bard" - all by J.K. Rowling.


I'd also like to invest in hard copy versions of the Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets.

Now I'll go to bed and make a real post tomorrow. Maybe with pictures?

"Well I heard there was a sacred chord that David played to please Lord....

..but you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the metaphor, and the major lift - the baffled King composing hallelujah. hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah." --Kate Voegele

I love that song. It's slightly religious, but I can't get enough of it - it's calming and angry all at the same time - almost so breathtakingly disappointing and uplifting that it's hypnotizing. I mostly just love Kate Voegele in general, her voice is seriously so...raw and edgy. It's intense. And thank god I started watching One Tree Hill with Caitlin, or I would have never discovered her! (She played Mia, who was K-Fed's keyboardist wheh P. Sawyer opened up her label, who then went solo.)
Anyway!

Exciting news: this is how much time I have left in Oz:
That's 13 days, since it's after midnight. THIRTEEN DAYS! EEK! I am seriously pumped. I'm hoping the days go fast - I'm assuming they will with finals and stuff - I'll put my schedule down a bit further.








I took out my other suitcase today (one is already full of shoes and souviners and some winter clothes), so I can air it out....
It smells delightfully like feet from spring break. I sprayed my lavender air freshener in it, hoping that with that and airing out it will smell less like lavender scented feet and more like..well, not feet at all. Instead of the space bags, I'm going to attempt to roll all my clothes, I heard it gives you more room...let's hope so! I mean, I am getting rid of a lot of stuff anyway (4 months of wear and tear on an item + weirdo water makes things...gross.) so hopefully everything will fit. Otherwise I'm screwed. Seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY screwed.

Oh! Right! I forgot - this is how I feel about the above pictures:
I am super excited, as you can obviously tell. Also please note my "Catch the Reading Bug!" shirt that my Nana got me from the Lebanon Community Library. It's kick ass. I wear it to sleep a lot, because really, it's cool. Also note how long my hair got since 1) my hair cut in July and 2) my hair cut in September. Seriously, I've decided to just trim it and grow it out til...Alicia's wedding in September. She can tell me what she wants me to do with it for her wedding, and I will plan accordingly. I doubt that idea will hold up, but we'll pretend that I have paitence with my hair and am talented enough to do...anything with it other then put it in a ponytail. Which, I am freaking fabulous at.

So, my schedule for the next thirteen days? Okay, note that as it is after midnight it's Sunday, so we'll start with Sunday as seen from my viewpoint when I wake up in the morning:

Sunday 11/23: Study all stupid day.
Monday 11/24: Study all stupid day some more.
Tuesday 11/25: History final! Hang out with Kait and Alexis
Wednesday 11/26: Kait leaves! Study all stupid day for another test, pack a little, One Tree Hill w/ Alexis.
Thursday 11/27: Study all stupid day for the other test some more, pack a bit more, Sushi for "Thanksgiving" dinner. Arg!
Friday 11/28: Sociology final!
Saturday 11/29: Pool if it's nice with Alexis - please note: 7 DAYS TIL I COME HOME!
Sunday 11/30: Pack more.
Monday 12/1-Thursday 12/4: Pack a lot, go to the pool as often as possible, help Alexis pack, pray that all of our shit fits into our suitcases, finalize transportation to the airport, etc..Also, last One Tree Hill in Australia w/ Alexis.
Friday 12/5: Run up and down the hallway screaming bloody murder about going home the next day, piss people off, tell off a couple people, be a serious bitch to everyone I don't like and finish packing.
Saturday 12/6: Peace out Australia, Sayanara, Adios, and please, don't write.


So, we watched our LAST Grey's in Australia today - next weeks is a rerun from 9-11 of the season premier...meaning: I GET TO WATCH THE NEXT GREY'S FO' FREE ONLINE AT ABC.COM IN LEBANON, PENNSYLVANIA, USA!!! WOOOOOO!

Annnnd that's my story. ♥ everyone.

There's no gravity up here - it's kind of hard to explain...

....it's like backwards rain...


I have a boring life. I have nothing to update about.



Okay, well. I finished my internship, finally. I've been working on my paper and power point presentation for next week and the following week. Then all I have to do is study for finals and pack. Then I can come home. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


The only thing of measurable excitement I've done is help Alicia with the wedding some more. That always makes me happy. And I've talked to her on skype, along with Errrkka and Becky...that was glorious. I miss those kids. I talk to Mike and Nana and Pappy all the time, so while quite exciting, it's not surprising.


Moral of the story: I'm ready to come home.
