I have to go back to studying really soon, but I decided to post quickly first. So this morning Alex and I went over to the Co-op and bought lunch. No need to suffer food poisoning during finals week again. I had soup, and it was amazing; we ate underneath the lilac bush, and it was so wonderful. I love living here, and I love all the flowers right now.

Last night was a lot of fun as well. Anne, Erin and I went out and got dirt for our poor corn and bean plants from Bio lab that have been living in paper towels. We found really good dirt too... in the flower bed near Middlebrook. Ooops, we may have borrowed some. And then we went to smell the flowering crab tree between Jimmy Johns and the Co-op. We each picked a flower off of it, and then picked Lilacs off of the bush on the way back. We decided we were flower children for the night, and even took pictures with our newly happy plants. Mine have actually grown an amazing amount since last night. They look really good.

Erin, me and Anne.

FYI I'm going to complain now, so if you wan to stop reading now is a good time. I don't want to go home. I love living in a place that more than 8,000 people live in. There is a reason more people live here. When I was eating with Alex today, I realized how much happier I've been since I came to college. The big difference is that in high school when I'd walk by someone, and they'd laugh I assumed they were laughing at me, and you know what, many times I was right. Here, if I'm in the same situation, I assume that the people are happy, and it makes me happy as well, instead of making me want to curl up in a ball and die a little bit. Ok, that's a little over-dramatic, but it's the same sentiment. I'm just really happy that I don't have to be labeled a prude, or ackward though that one is true, or anything else here. I love being label free. Alright, my chemistry is calling. I'll talk to you all later. I do miss my cats though, Crox has that going for it.
