Woopsies. I meant to finish this last night; distractions. By the time I was ready to blog again, it was already "today" anyway, so I figured I'd go to bed. :P

I've decided that I need to legitimately start writing in this again. Also, my days are exponentially less busy--more on that later. I really feel like my life is starting to piece together, even though some days are more complicated than others for sure. Anyway, I'll just cut to the chase and update any readers I may have on what's going on in my life at the moment. :)

-- I made the Dean's List! Yay me.
-- If everything works out as far as finding a place, I'll have my own apartment next year. With three other girls, more than likely, but I'm finally going to be living on my own in a way. I'll be able to cook and bake all I want, and have a dog or cat inside the house. And I don't know why that excites me so much, but it does.
---In fact, I may be living in Nebraska by the end of May.
-- I've ultimately decided that I'm not going to be a music major like I thought. I want to possibly take the theory and the history and the conducting... but nothing else. No 7 semesters of recital attendance (though I don't mind the motivation to culture myself a bit more), no two-credit hour voice lessons, no keyboard skills/piano proficiency. I'll just be that weird person who takes theory for funzies. And I'm more than okay with that.
-- I love psychology. Love, love, love it. It never gets old. I'm glad bio and pre-calc made me realize that clinical lab science was not for me. I love this major! :)
-- I finally went to A Novel Idea, the used bookstore downtown here. It's absolutely wonderful. The lady who owns it, Cinnamon (love!), is celebrating her 30th (29th?) birthday this weekend so she's having a sweet sale. I'm going back hopefully today to purchase a cookbook for less than $4... and that's without the discount. Also, she has two cats that walk around the store. I told Ben that I wanted to do this when I own my own coffee place. It dawned on me, however, that having cats in a coffee house is a lot more hazardous to health than a bookstore. Hmm.
-- Ben absolutely succeeded at Valentine's Day. A necklace with the treble/bass clef heart and one dozen orange roses, plus driving me around shopping, Panera, and Hy-Vee Chinese. Maybe not the classiest V-Day, but definitely the best one I've had so far.

Well, I'm out of things to say. Besides, my laptop is on about 25% power now because HP battery life sucks. All for now.

PS Everyone should read Margaret Cho's weblog. It's great.
