Sun is shining.. It's gonna be a good day.

Today is a lovely sunny day! Getting up to around 56 degrees I'd say.. Spring is well on its way here in Ellensburg. :) The sun always puts me in a good mood, makes me want to be productive, and healthy. It is good motivation. Summer is my favorite season, so the closer it gets, the happier I become.

I just found out that I totally whooped my anthropology exam! I tied with one other person for the highest grade in both my professor's classes, I'm pretty happy with that achievement right now. It feels nice knowing I can accomplish something I want to. There's always a difference between doing well without working hard (which still feels great), and doing well as the result of good work. I fell somewhere in the middle for this one, I barely studied at all, but I'm satisfied nonetheless.

This past week I spent at school of course and then Alex and I went out to Yakima and visited with his Aunt and cousins and immediate family (as they came up to do business). It was nice getting away from the school and spending time with friends and family; as well as eating some non-school food. David, Alex's dad, knows how I loooove mac n' cheese. And, as per usual, he pulled through on making a super delicious batch of it. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. When we go to Europe next fall, that is definitely going to be one of the little things I will miss.. homemade mac n' cheese, courtesy of David.

Also, wednesday the 24th was my youngest brothers 10th birthday. It's hard to believe he is getting so big already, and right now I'm twice his age.. that's a slap in the face of age if I ever heard of such a thing. When I was little I used to think it was strange that some of my peers had older siblings in Jr. High, let alone high school or college. Oh how the tables have turned. I'm the eldest, so the perspective is definitely one-sided.

My moms birthday was also this saturday the 27th. Normally I would have taken her out to dinner, if I weren't on the other side of the mountains. I spent the whole weekend trying to get ahold of her, but she was at work, and I had been using other peoples phones since mine has decided to off itself. And I don't even want to get into the topic of my phone right now. That'll have to be an entire blog unto itself.

Other than that I cannot really think of any news to share with the world. I am simply trying to keep up my blogging. I need to turn this into a habit. Not only because of my reason for wanting to blog my life in Europe next school year (I'm SO excited), but because it's healthy to have an outlet for my words. That way I don't just dump them on every person I talk to. Heaven forbid.

Have a happy day!
