Mid-Morning Thoughts

• I wish I had breakfast foods in my room.
• I actually do have some food in my room, I'm just going to have to be resourceful.
• I love that my curtains block out the sun so fervently.
• I have been sleeping until 9 or 9:30 and I hate it. I am excited for the day I can live in an apartment and have a kitchen and wake up at seven and make tea and eggs on toast, then go for a run around the neighborhood, or to the nearby hot yoga studio. I ride my bike there, a really cool bike that's like a gorgeous kelly green color.
• Okay, let me tell you about what I would consider to be an ideal weekend day in a happy life for me: After my hot yoga class, I come home to my small but bright-with-natural-light apartment. I feed my adorable cat, and then I go to a farmer's market, because hopefully they have that peanut butter goat's milk fudge that they always have at farmer's markets near Minerva. If not, I'll settle with some basil and cherry tomatoes and avocados and homemade salsa and beets and bell peppers. Then I get lunch with my friend, hopefully Erin or Gabrielle or Leanna or Jonathan (even though they probably don't live where I live, but wouldn't that be nice?), or I guess I could have lunch with a new friend. We get tacos. Then, we go see that new movie that will be coming out with all of my favorite actors, a happy romantic comedy starring John Krasinski and like Mindy Kaling, Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, the cop from Bridesmaids and Tina Fey. After that, I go back to my bright apartment and go swimming, because we have a pool in our apartment complex, and I make small talk with the nice new neighbors, but not too much small talk because that's the worst. Finally, it's like seven p.m. so I go back to my apartment and my really nice roommate and I have a light dinner of salad (spring mix, beets, corn, chickpeas, onions, feta, cilantro vinaigrette like I get at school). We have a  show that's on at 8, so we make some tea and do our nails and what the show, that's probably a dating show, a talent show, or something really funny like the Office (even though nothing can really compare). I end the night by calling my mom, then reading a new Jhumpa Lahiri book and going to sleep.
• I'm probably going to go make ramen in a second.
• Beer has SO MANY calories in it, and it tastes awful. What is the point?
• Alcohol in general: What is the point? I think I quit.
• I wish I liked the Higher Ed program at UT Austin better, because that would be really fun.
• The school I think I'll apply to so far are UT Austin, University of Michigan (booo), Ohio State (True love), Vanderbilt and UPenn. That seems like plenty for me. Do I have to keep researching? :(
• I played Battleship last night and it was a BLAST. Teams of four sit in canoes and try to capsize the other teams.
• I wish my room weren't a mess.
• Is it going to be warm ever again?
