As I predicted things have been speeding up a bit and today has been very productive. Had I not been two minutes late to the bank then the day would have been perfect. I had two classes today and they both seem pretty cool, hopefully there'll be no serious trouble getting through them. I might even enjoy it.
The tickets to Washington DC are booked and the airplane company has confirmed that I can fly with them without a passport. Phew! I lost my passport a while ago and now I have to go to DC to get a new one. It is expensive, time consuming, tricky, and requires me to fly for 20 hours. The only slightly positive aspect is that Jordan managed to get me an airplane ticket, a 4-star hotel, and a rental car for cheaper than the regular price of just an airplane ticket. So I might even have some time to take a look around when I'm there.
I'll let you know how it goes with photo documentation.

My Happy Place
Do you have a happy place that you go to when you need some positive energy?
I do, although mine is mental. If I'm stressed out, sad, anxious, or just need a little boost I collect eergy from a Happy Place fantasy. It's sounds all corny and new-age, I know. But I wonder if I'm the only weird one or if you guys have a Happy Place too. If you're religious it migh be praying, if not it might be... anything.
My Happy Place is walking on a beach in Maui. The beach is several miles long and completely empty except for me and my two dogs (that I don't have yet). It is early morning, right before sunrise so the air is clear and not too hot, and I don't have to worry about getting sunburnt. The sea is calm and the waves that washes up on the beach are slow and regular, like tranquil heart beats. My dogs are unleashed, see they are well trained. I walk there, sometimes I run, and it is... soothing.
So tell me, what is your Happy Place?

Last Day of Winter Break
Today is the last day of my winter break. It's been everything a break is supposed to be. I've done very little and therefore I am eager to go back to rutines and having things to do. It seems like a paradox that the more time I have, the less I accomplish. Maybe when school starts and I'll have way too much to do and no time to do it I might acctually manage to get other things done.
During the break I spent some time with friends, more time with Jordan, and a lot of time with myself, which is of course the best company of all. Just kidding, the cats are even better company since they always silently agree with all that I say. Yes i do talk to my cats and no I'm not worried about it. Although they don't understand me they like hearing my voice.
Our cats are fine, thank you for asking. I know that they are a huge subject of interest for all of you, as other people's pets always are. I also know that you're dying to hear all about their last deworming and other health related issues but I have to politely ask you not to ask, I am way too tired of having to explain it all of the time.*
From pets to boyfriend. This is how I know that he loves me: he has trouble sleeping if I'm not there, which is adorable but problematic since he works night shifts and I don't. I've never slept as much in my life as I have the past four weeks.
Anyways, new semester means new obstacles, new opportunities, new experiences, new failures, and most of all new achievements. I passed all my classes last semester which means that if all goes well I will graduate in May. There really is no alternative to "all goes well" and no reason that it wouldn't. The scary part comes after graduation. Either I get a job or I leave the country.
I don't mind going back to Europe but there's a job that I really want and it's not on the European continent. It's not on any continent at all but an Island called Maui. That's all I'll say about it for now. In my head, there's really only one option but reality might be a little different. It is scary and exciting at the same time.
And the most important news is that my father is coming to visit in May for my graduation! If anyone went to Hawaii to visit and did something that they really liked, please let me know.
Aloha and take care!
* To people who dont' know me, this is me being sarcastic. As with children, noone ever cares about pets as much as their owners (parents) think they do.
