Koala

When I die, I better come back as an actual koala. After dealing with insomnia for the last 20-something years, I freaking DESERVE to spend my life sleeping for an average of 18 hours a day. In a tree. That would be awesome.

In other news, the Tylenol PM I just took means that I'll probably sleep in until noon. Merry Christmas.



My parents, playing with FaceTime on their iPhones while sitting in the living room together:

Dad: I'm going to hang up now!
Mom: Okay, I can't wait!

It's definitely Christmas hahaha

Late Night Thoughts



This is going to sound over the top, but whatever: I'm so lucky to have found someone who is not only the kindest and most thoughtful boyfriend but also the best friend I could ever ask for.

You really can't beat someone who makes you laugh every day, especially if he also happens to be super handsome and romantic - really, I won the boyfriend lottery over here. I am so lucky.

Also: I'm exhausted. I cannot sleep and I haven't even been napping lately (I wish I had!) so it's 3:30 in the morning & instead of curled up asleep I am writing a blog post from my iPhone and reading mindy kaling's book, trying to figure out when I got so old.

(ANSWER: last week, when I turned 26.)

Anyway, there is a point to all of this. I've spent 90% of my life focusing on the future instead of living in the present. I was never really, truly happy with my life & was always imagining the ways it would be better in a few years. But right now, in this moment - even with my super bad hair day and the fact that I want to cry from exhaustion - I wouldn't trade it.

For the first time ever, I feel like I'm exactly where I am supposed to be - I'm finally getting it right.


Although let's be honest, I still think about the future in a romanticized way - I can't wait to live in a land with no homework - I don't want to fast-forward through this, not anymore, and I think that's a pretty cool thing.

Everything's Better With a W

Woody on the creepy hostess at breakfast this morning: "I think she's an animatronic"


I smile more with him in my life than I ever did before

Vague



This is the kind of night I should blog about, because it has been so outrageous, but the story is not appropriate to share with the Internet. Or my mother.

But between the broken chair, And the blood from impaling my leg on one of its pointy pieces - it looks like a freaking crime scene in here. Plus I think my boyfriend's back is broken, I know the dogs think we are crazy, and I could really use some sleep.

Christmas break, right?

right.

I turn 26 on Friday - yikes.

I just finished up the hardest semester of college I've ever had - and preparing for next one to be worse.

I need about 3 months of rest and not the one I am getting - but I will take it gladly.

The plumbing in the house has been broken for like 6 weeks now and it has only added to the frustration of the end of the semester.

That's about it, really.

This is the "tree" on the great lawn in the middle of campus. YAY CHRISTMAS!
