Today’s picture goes out to C and E, who claim I don’t give them enough lovin’ on my blog. They’re my two closest friends from my new members class at AOII, and I can’t imagine my life without them.

Things to look forward to this week:

• It’s October. I’ve vowed to be happy this entire month and to not let anything get me down. I’m stressed? I’m sick? I miss my friends who don’t go to State? My new remedy for mid-semester blues is simple: Take a walk outside. Breathe deeply. Enjoy fall.
• I’m going home on Tuesday. I don’t have classes on Wednesday, so I’m going home Tuesday evening to collect everything I forgot. I’m counting the hours until I have a cup of my mom’s coffee in my hand.
• I’m seeing some random kid whose name begins with a J this weekend. I guess that’s something I’m a little bit excited about. But you can’t tell him, because I don’t want him to think I like him or something. It’ll be our little secret, okay?
