Catching Up

Thank goodness for three day weekends.  Even though I had to work today, it has been a fabulous day.  I just got to chill, which was wonderful.  I even got a chance to contemplate about what I was going to write in this blog post.  How crazy is that?!

Out of boredom, I drove myself to Wal-Mart just to look around and see if there we're any good movies in the $5 bin (there were; I got Hellboy II and Yes Man.  Score!)  And while I was driving to Wal-Mart, it was the perfect night to crank up the music, roll the window down, and sing along while cruising around.  It was pretty awesome, and dare I say, very stress relieving.  (Not that I have a lot of stress right now, but still sometimes you just need to unwind.)  After I got home, I still wanted to enjoy what was left of the beautiful day, so I went outside and read my book until it was too dark to see the words on the page.  It was so sublime!

What else has been going on in Aleesha-land, you may ask?  Nothing really, to be honest.  I've been hooked on this show (shut up, I don't want to hear it.  It's actually really good, and nothing like Twilight, like I thought it was going to be.)

Also, I'm going to be taking an adolescent literature class online, which should be so much fun.  I get to read like 50 book (Which I can totally do.  The adolescent books are the ones I can read in 2-3 days each, anyway), and I only have like 3 papers and 1 project.  Easy.

And after some intense calculations, I figured that I can be done with school by the end of next summer.  Crazy, right?  I have very mixed feelings about it.  One one hand, I can't wait to graduate and get a REAL job. But, on the other hand, I'm so scared.  I've going to school for most of my life, and that's probably all going to end when I graduate.  I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself.  It's so exciting, but it's just freaking me out a little bit ;)

That should be all for today.  I'm dying to watch the next episode of my show.

So, bye!

Hey, it's me

Hey, it's me.  (I'm still alive.)  I've just been, you know, busy. I started work at ProPay again, just for the summer.  And I've been running, too.  Training for the Running with Angels 5k next Saturday.

See, this is so sad.  I don't even have anything to write about.  Not today anyway.

Here's one of my favorite YouTube videos that will keep you entertained, hopefully.

Study Break

I'm taking a small study break right now.  Don't judge.  I've only got two more finals - one is a take-home final that is almost done, and the other is a really easy religion test.  So, I'm good. I think.  I hate days where I have to stay on campus all day.  Yeah 8 am to 11 pm.  Fun, right?

Oh, and in case you were wondering, my creative writing stuff is up.  Check it out right here - there is a poem and a link to my short story.  Read it, or don't.  Either one is fine with me.  Just know that I'm a very different writer than I was a few years ago.  Not sure if that's good or bad...

Enjoy.  Happy Hump Day!  Time to get back to work.

Crunch Time

Finals next week = crunch time.  Bad news - One week of class but that's also the good news.  Lots to do, and it doesn't help that I've now become addicted to Lost.  Really? Really.  Why am I even typing this? I don't have time to write in full sentences!  See you in two weeks, people. 

Unless I want to continue to procrastinate studying or completing project.  Which is very likely. 

I carry your heart with me

I love this poem.  Like, a lot.  It's been running through my head the last few days.

by E. E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                                                      i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
