I'm thankful for ...

It's not Thanksgiving or anything. But I've just been having the most blessed days of my life that I can't help but stop to reflect on all of the wonderful and amazing parents, boyfriend, brother, puppy, and friends that fill me up with so much love and support in everything I do.

So, Thank you. I can only hope that my future days will be lived to emulate what you've shown me, given me.

from the deepest place in my heart,

mj

p.s. I love you, mommy! Happy belated mother's day <3

Early Birthday, Early Thanksgiving, Early Christmas

=)

Wonderful times were to be had this past weekend with family and friends. Love them all with all of my heart. <3

I am the luckiest girl alive,

Air in my lungs .

The weather has been so superb these days. My friend and I were just talking about how gorgeous the days have been recently, and how good weather always puts her in a great mood. And I totally believe it too; it's hard to let anything get in the way or make you frown when the sky is as blue as can be and the autumn breeze never ceases.

I had a really, really awful exam for one of my classes today. I've never been so upset at the exam itself. I couldn't believe it when the professor called for time. My friends and I walked out of the room, cursing at the world, totally infuriated by what I can safely call *the worst testing experience*, evvver. It totally bummed me out because I've been keeping up with the class material pretty diligently, and to have just blown away all that effort for what seemed to me like the most ridonkulous, the most unfair exam ever was just discouraging.

But this weather, man. It was so lovely today, plus I sure as hell didn't want to sit through another lecture, so it was hard to keep being miserable and mad at the world. So I played hookie and grabbed the biggest slice of pizza and sat around outside with the girls, hehe. It's got to be one of my favorite guilty pleasures; skipping class and porking out, major time.

My boyfriend came into town today! We grabbed our longboards and our puppies and drove to school. It was nice and cool, just perfect for an easy night of riding our boards around campus and working up our poor pups. What a stress reliever that was. A brief stop in front of my school's very much under-appreciated fountain was the peak of the night, I'd say. There weren't any stars out tonight, though it brought some really fond memories back from my freshman and sophomore years :')

Ahh, and there's the sweet end to my long day. TGIF tomorrow <3

Woot woot,

Sunshine Child,

Nyam nyam - my afternoon nap today was soOoo lovely :) Waking up at 5:30am every other day for a dang 7:30am philosophy class is definitely taking a toll on my body. And I've fallen into the vicious cycle of driving home like a speed racer everyday (most of the times, I don't even remember the drive home), throwing my 30lb nerdpack at the foot of my desk, swooping my puppy off the ground, and plunging us into the uber softness of my comforters -- ahh, dear bed, I've missed you. [sigh]

Hmmm. We've been having some fine weather; plenty of sunshine and just as plenty of rain. I never get too far with my studying (after an excellent napping session, of course), only to find myself changing into a T-shirt and shorts and make my way out the door with Shinjie. She enjoys my random spurts of outdoorsy-ness as much as I love it. We'd walk to the nearest field of soft grass and run around chasing each other until we tire ourselves  and collapse underneath a patch of shade somewhere, out of breath 

from laughing and running. People walking by us probably scratch their heads at our oddity and debate whether or not we should be reported. [shrug]

Mm, I really wish I had some popsicles in the fridge right now. This craving will bother me for the rest of the night, arg :B

With all the sillyness of my life aside, it seems I'm pulling through this semester. I've stayed on top of all my classes and managed to get As on every exam so far. It's still early into the semester to tell, but I'd like to keep the promise to myself and work my way towards 4.0 gpa. It's possible, and I know I have a chance at it. So... I'd better get off my lazy bum bum and get to it :p

Tomorrow @ 9pm, catch David Blaine on ABC!

Good day,
