no longer a teenage dream

1. talked with my boyfriend for part of the day. it was good to catch up and talk. i miss talking with him face-to-face, so computer talking will have to suffice for now. 
2. make pancakes for breakfast (!), cleaned the apartment living room/kitchen, did laundry, organized my room, did homework, made a red and green bell pepper and provolone quiche for dinner. um, can you say domestic?! 
3. read about premodern and early genocide allllll day. such a depressing topic! and not really helpful in my quest to remain upbeat and cheerful. but, i finally finished the 205 pages of reading and am getting to bed relatively early in prep for classes/homework/boxing club tomorrow. 

it*s a beautiful day. today has been a better day. an even better day will come in 104 day! that's not so long...right? i'm taking all of this a day at a time. just...life in general. my eyes are currently having trouble focusing since essentially i've looked in the same place all day today (two feet in front of me). but i am optimistic again and excited for the winding down of september and the starting up of october. i just had a thought that it will be very interesting for me to read through all these posts once the year is over. i've done it before, in may or somwhere in there, but reading the entire year from start to finish will be so gratifying. i'm glad that i kept note of three things from each day simply so i can be reminded of how things went on a daily basis. i want this year to finish out quickly, but that also means that another year is gone! 2010 has been so good to me so far, quite a bit better than 2009, that i'm nervous for it to end. 2011 will be a stressful year! okay, okay i've got to stop looking so far into the future! i think reading all this history is what makes me think long term (like two years is long term). my plan for the next time i have some downtime is to go back through and read the hunger games series. can't wait for that downtime to roll around! my bucket list item for tonight is rather mundane, but important to me and it needs to be set in stone: pick classes for the remaining three semesters that really are interesting to me and fit into a schedule that i am totally happy with.
