break!

i slept in on saturday, then curled up on the couch with twilight for a few hours. i finished it in one sitting and felt like i had consumed a gallon of ice cream haha. the cool thing about it for me though, is that it is situated in washington state, just north of oregon, so i could identify and was familiar with the landscape and weather described in the book. usually i read about faraway places that i can only imagine or wish i'd visit one day. so yeah, after gorging myself on 400+ pages of mindlessness, i went for a run, dropped my key without realizing it, had a shower, went back to the track to look for it, found it, went over to sean's parents' for dinner, and then called it a day.

on sunday i went to church, had brunch, had a looong nap, then organized my room somewhat. i watched the office online, had dinner with my housemates to celebrate ney ney's baptism, packed, and headed to bed.

monday i woke up to a white eugene. i had a shower, started laundry, headed to the post office in sub-zero temperatures (but i was warm in my warm thick coat and bearpaws!) snapping pictures on the way there and back, had breakfast, packed some last minute things, and headed for the bus. i planned on reading and doing stuff on my laptop on what was supposed to be a three-hour trip to portland, but about halfway through i really, really needed to pee so i couldn't concentrate on either. and there was an accident along the way, so the bus had to make a detour and the trip ended up taking more than four hours. but it was a pleasant trip. jamie picked me up at the station, and we had to drive really slowly to her house because of the ice on the roads, to it took another hour or so. but we got there, had dinner, and then watched three movies in a row: the notebook, forgetting sarah marshall, and just friends. then we went to sleep. =)

this morning i woke up, had a shower, had pancakes and eggs for breakfast, put up pictures on facebook, and after this i have to go re-pack and head to the airport to catch my flight to los angeles.

i'm excited. =D
