It's about time

Hot cocoa, marshmellows, a warm blanket, a good movie, good friends and a hot guy. Those are all the things I could use right now. I just feel like cuddling up and watching a good ol' flick. But there is always a millions things to do and usually no time to do it. Yet today is that time where I need to do all of those things I've been putting off all week. And I feel pretty productive, I must say. Here are the things I have done:
-Dishes
-Clean my bathroom sink and counter
-Clean off my desk and dresser
-Laundry (towels, sheets, dishtowels, slip cover, clothes)
-Vaccum everything
-Pick up my room
-Clean kitchen
-Call my parents
-Sleep in

The last one is key since I've been sick. I opted (sp?) out on swim practice this morning in hopes that getting a good night's rest would once again make me strong and invinsible. I do feel much better, but I think a nap might be in order for later. Although that is doubtful since I'm not too big on napping. We shall see.

Other news in the fablous life of Jessica: IT'S FALL BREAK! Finally. And even though I have homework that will take me all week if I wanted to do it, it's nice not to have to worry about school. But there is a downfall to this wonderful news, I have to stay in the Fort until Wednesday because of the dreadful sport we like to call swimming. We have a meet in Wyoming on Tuesday so we have to stay here and practice until then. The whole situtaion annoys me greatly. But at least I am home for turkey day! Mmmm. Other good news is that Lauren's parents are bringing her car up here so we can have transportation for the four extra days we are here (since our roommates with the cars have long since flown off to their homelands).

I don't have any big plans for the break. Tonight Lauren and I have to volunteer to hand out programs at the basketball or volleyball game or whatever sport it is. I would rather read Shakespeare and eat worms. But it must be done I guess. For the good of that wonderful team I love so very much. The team that I think I will be leaving after this year. I'm sure they will hold a giant retirement party for me and bid me good luck in all my endevors. I know I will be missed and they probably won't win anymore meets without their star swimmer. What a terrible shame. Ha.

Besides that I am just sitting here feeling jealous of all the people who are in tropical climates soaking up the rays and living it up. BOO.

Last week was the weirdest week ever. I went home on Tuesday to observe my mom in her classroom for a class I have, and that was interesting. I thought the kids were cute, but I got tired. I admire my mom so much for doing that everyday. It looks like a lot of work, and now I know why she got teacher of the year. After that I hung out with my brothers and we went to the cousin's for Hill's birthday and had a feast of Chinese food! It was most excellent. And of course we were our goofy selves and had a grand old time consiting of raves, freeze with the lights, wreasling, reading people's text messages to the whole family, and the utter chaos all around. The usual. It was good to see everyone again, it's been a while. And of course I get to see them again next week for our even more wonderful feast!

Other than that, school was death like always and swimming was a lighter version of hell since we're on taper. But still no fun. Thursday night at midnight we went to go see HARRY POTTER! It was a jolly good show, I really liked it and I think they did a pretty good job of getting the main jist of the overall plot. Last night my good buddy Kristin came over and we watched "Butterfly Effect", which was weird and made me feel mental, but pretty good. It sparked a pretty intense conversation afterwards, which I can always count on with Kristin. She always keeps me on my toes! Ok, well I'm going to go do some more laundry and find something to eat. Happy fall break!

Count down:
Days until Wyoming: 3
Days until I get to go home: 4
Days until turkey day: 5
Days until haircut: 7

That's all for now! Hasta.
