today started out so intensely shitty it's not even funny. getting bitched out by your sister, getting accused for plagiarism, and oversleeping are not the best way to spend the first hour of the day. but, it progressively got better, slowly, hour by hour. the professor apologized, i got my ass in gear and started the day,had 2 dinner dates with my joy at 2 of our favorite eats, got to catch up with a friend and laugh alot, and discovered an energy drink better than red bull (hard to believe). in a little more than a week i will have the key to my new apartment, have completed the last class of my undergrad, and be sitting in my family room curled up with a blanket, cup of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows, hopefully watching snow fall outside, with christmas music on. it is these blessed treasures i must look forward to in order to get through the monstrous heap of work i am slowly wading through.
