it's nothing really

*big yawn*

i can't sleep anymore. i was just staring at my ceiling until 3ish just thinking and then when i did fall asleep i kept waking up every 30 minutes it seemed. this isn't good, because i have my 2k test later today and i need all the energy i can get. it's been like this for a week or so. i'm going to blame it on the stress because (for once) it's the logical thing to do.

the john hunter regatta went semi-well. got 2 first place medals and lost all feeling in my hands and feet. i've never been so cold in my life. sunday i finally got to fly my kite, which was really fun. makes me miss my old kite. i think i still have it, but it's probably ripped to shreds. and before you ask, it had teenage mutant ninja turtles on it.

caitlin and i bought all the stuff for rocky horror. i'm going as magenta (of course) and she as columbia. we've got some others coming along and overall it's going to be a really fun time. probably one of the best birthdays i've had in a while. i'll definitely miss the joint-celebrations i had with rachel though. those were always great even though our birthdays are a month apart.

43 more days till italy. i still have so much to plan. i almost want the orientation to be this weekend just so i know the details, but i'll have to wait. it'll be the first weekend that i've been home in a long time either way. i miss home i think. i miss movie hopping with my dad and talking about life with mom. i'm really glad they're visiting on sunday. i'm definitely going to have to see agon while i'm there. i haven't seen him since may and i'm always meaning to call him but i never get around to it.

bryan, simon, and (hopefully) tom are supposed to come to athens this weekend. i'm really excited about this because i haven't seen any of them since winter break-- we've got lots of stuff to catch up on. school is starting to get to me and seeing friends from elsewhere will be very refreshing. sometimes you need to get away from it all, but seeing as how i can't do that i need people to come here instead.


i think that's it for now. it's my grandma's birthday today. she's 85? yea. either that or 86. whatever the age she's definitely got some years on her. when i look at everything she's done with her life i can only hope i'll make an impact like she did. i know my life would be very different had she not been in it. happy birthday.






2 more days. i can't stop thinking about her. this always happens.
