In the sun I feel as one

1. Technically, this all happened yesterday, but I’m carrying it over to today. So apparently, our sorority is going back to the self-defense academy next semester. Which I’m honestly shocked about because we don’t usually repeat going back to the same venue for an event, especially if it’s within the next semester. And I swear to God, I had no influence on this decision whatsoever, hahaha. ;) Seriously. o_0 Well, either way, it provided a catalyst to talking to a certain someone and I learned some dark details about his family (in which I kinda reciprocated).
2. IT WAS THIS CUTEST CHUBBY-CHEEKED LITTLE BABY’S 1ST BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! UGH STOP BEING SO CUTEEEEE. <3
   
3. Free 7-Eleven slurpees!
4. Hello Kitty froyo!
5. My first experience with Shakespeare in the Park with good food and good people!

FUN FACT: This is my 9,000th post! :OOO

1. Sooooo, I dyed my hair red like I wanted to. It’s definitely a subtle red, but beautiful in the sunlight, as noticed by the people I had dinner with. They all said it looked nice too and NOT azn lol. Besides, the only parts of my hair that are obviously red are the parts of my hair that were highlighted before.
2. I finally got my authentic pho craving fixed!
3. As well as some eggrolls, mmmmm. :3
4. And boba! You can never drink enough boba.
5. And now I’m just relaxing in my room, ending an already satisfying week. :)

Sorry for putting this off; I was busy!

1. THANKS TO PINTEREST, HELLO KITTY, AND SEPHORA, I WAS ONE OF TEN BOARDS CHOSEN OUT OF HUNDREDS TO WIN A $103 VALUE PRIZE PACKAGE OF SEPHORA’S NEW HELLO KITTY PINK BOW COSMETIC LINE AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
2. A good phone convo in about a month!:
   “I’ve been getting A’s on my exams.”
   “Of course! It’s not like it’s physics or anything…”
   
   “It has a plot line!”
   “Yeah, I’m still not gonna see Magic Mike…. Sara says the next time you come to San Antonio, she’ll take you to Hard Bodies.”
   “What’s that?”
   “A strip club. So that way you truly relive Magic Mike!… Zoe’s laughing. *to Zoe* YOU’RE NOT GOING.”
3. In child development, we watched a video of babies falling down while sitting lol! “It’s the cutest thing in the world!” My professor thinks everything a baby does is the cutest thing in the world…
4. I got to see a different perspective of downtown D-town from the rooftop of the Hyatt hotel! I took so many gorgeous pictures! And we saw three fireworks shows!!! It was also really good getting to know the people that I went with. :)
5. I honestly cannot think of the fifth one so I guess this will be replaced with one bad thing…

1 thing bad about technically two days ago

1. I ended the day with, not a headache, but a migraine, and it was still slightly painful when I woke up the next day and affected my energy for that day, too. :///

1. I got a 92 on my all blue book/mostly essay exam!
2. Ate much more than the money I spent at the Cici’s Pizza buffet and had a long, great chat with a greater friend. :)
3. I got a lot of reorganizing my apartment stuff done!
4. It is such an accomplishment that our chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, Zeta Upsilon, a relatively small chapter, has received the biggest honors at our grand convention. :’)
5. A new thing I’ve been doing to brighten my day: looking at pictures of this cutie! <3 She doesn’t care about my political agenda… UGH STOP BEING SO CUTE!!!
   

Ugh, so after reading more into what the Affordable Care Act does, I am more favored toward it now, but I think it’s still not perfect. I do believe good health is a human right, but I also believe in the freedom of life–not just simply existing and in “good health,” but freedom of lifestyle choices and making and spending money. I wish I was more of an expert on the economics of this whole thing. And this leads to my main point: another human right I believe in is freedom of education. I am certainly baffled at how the Texas Republican Platform opposes children learning how to critically think for themselves. Maybe because they’ll notice the many contradictories in this platform like I did… But don’t get me wrong, there are good solid points to it, too.

Tl;dr: I don’t like aligning myself to only one of these two parties of this system. I believe in freedom of choice, so I guess my views are libertarian?

1. I told myself I wouldn’t have anything to do with any of my extra-curriculars over the summer. I guess that I was wrong. (Not that I’m complaining!)
2. I sometimes forget that I go to a school that cares less about sports, especially watching them! And I’m not even that into sports either! I just wanna watch the fight, but I’m not that desperate (in more ways than one) to go to a sports bar by myself lololol.
3. I still don’t know what I want to do with my life, but I think I’m getting close…

1. The collective “awwwwwwwww” from EVERYONE, including Snow White the waitress, when I told her I would be paying for his meal.
2. That awkward moment when the guy who you currently have a thing for has seen the last guy you had a thing for/now want to punch in the face before. No, seriously, it was mind-boggling him the entire night where he has seen him.
3. I now have a free private self-defense lesson in compensation for paying for his meal!
4. GNO WAS SO MUCH FUN. AND EXHAUSTING. IDK WHY I’M STILL UP TYPING THIS NOW INSTEAD OF WAITING TILL THE MORNING.
5. Some of the girls definitely had too much fun bahaha. ;)

1. I hope I can hang out with you tomorrow.
2. I hope I can hang out with you every Friday night.
3. I hope I can ask you to formal.
4. I hope you can find time for training and hanging out with me.
5. I hope you’re not too good to be true…
6. Why am I attracted to unavailable men…?
7. #foreveralone
8. Why can’t I have this good thing in my life?
9. This is what I get for telling everyone about you and me.
10. I wish I could tell everyone that I’ve already talked to our whole story in one single swoop.
11. PLEASE.
12. PLEASE.
13. PLEASE.
14. LET ME.
15. LET ME.
16. LET ME.
17. LET ME GET WHAT I WANT.
18. THIS TIME.
19. Dammit.
20. This sucks.

1. I can still smell whatever cologne you were wearing today.
2. Maybe it’s because you gave me two hugs before we left. :)
3. God, I could just listen to you talk all day. Intelligence has never turned me on so much.
4. I can’t stop smiling again. :))) Or rather, “daydreaming.”
5. Totally unrelated to the first four, but I also hung out with my good friend I’ve known for years that I haven’t seen in a long time! Can’t neglect that good thing either!!

I’ve been meaning to change this to “things good about today” for a while, but I’ve forgotten. It comes from a quote a wise person said to me: “Try to find the good in each day,” and I’d rather have this be reflected onto that.

1. I had a really deep conversation with you today. I really hope I can hang out with you irl soon. You’re truly an interesting person.
2. I finally got a chance to work out today! Not only that, it was an intense one and an hour long!
3. I’ve also eaten healthy (except for my little treats at the end of the day) for the whole day, too!
4. I hung out with some good people.
5. I found a great online and iPhone flashcard app and I’ve entered a lot of them!
6. (A sixth one because I can.) I’ve also managed to have time to organize my room a bit.

Not a bad Monday, either. ;)
