There is light at the end of this tunnel.

This week has been good. Oh-so busy and occasionally disappointing, but good. 

There was the blizzard that soaked my hair.

There was the chance to meet Mitt Romney I missed because there was a mix-up with rides.

There were the cool names I found while indexing.

There were all the adventures I had with my roommates (most of them without leaving the house), including leaving my milk and eggs at WalMart and watching Saturday Night Live on Hulu until 4 in the morning.

There were the 6 hours I spent in the library on Tuesday preparing for my SuperLit mid-term.

There was the photoshoot/vegetarian stir-fry/movie night with my neighbors.

There was the fact that I'm caught up on my homework now! The end of the semester is in sight! My hair is cooperative! Life really is good.

Things that are making me happy.

The realization that I can register for Fall classes on Thursday. I planned out all my classes a month ago, I'm just excited to make it official.

The fact that my sweatshirt smells like the beach--salt and sand and smoke. (Thanks, Maddie.)

The phone call that meant I start at City Hall on Wednesday.

This picture.

So much music: We the Kings, Carla Bruni, Adele, Eric Whitacre, and Voices in Your Head especially.

Today's adventure that started with "I don't know, what do you want to do?"

Smarties.

Learning to play one of the best songs to ever be taught in Primary. 

You Have An Adopted Liver, Honey.*

I went incognito today with some pink lipstick. I like how it looked. 

It's been a crazy, semi-nocturnal, but still somehow wonderful and productive week. 

And then it started raining tonight. Pouring down catch-a-cold, melt-the-snow, pretty-sounding rain. Did I start jumping up and down and screaming with joy? Did immediately look for an excuse to leave the apartment?

*This was actually said in a real conversation I had this week.

Long Live the "Vote for Change" shirt worn ironically.

Because of the awful weather, I didn't drive back to Rexburg. I flew! The flight was fine, but the shuttle from SLC broke down. It was awful. I pulled out the only time-passer in my bag whose batteries wouldn't die--my scriptures. I laughed when I got to D&C 121:10-- "Thou art not yet as Job." I felt better then. I did skip my morning class, though.

My tripod and camera remote are here! So despite how I looked today, I HAD to test it out. Chelsea's in this picture giving me a weird look, but I cropped her out on her request.
