Happiness

A happy Saturday to be sure! I am super excited and basically have decided to take over Al's wedding and plan it for her... haha, a little too eager beaver!

I've already told her I'd sing the first dance song for her... More by Bobby Darin, which is quite an amazing song:

"More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love that I give to you, alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day..."

Or maybe I should just save my suggestion for my wedding day, if I ever find someone insane enough to want to spend the rest of his life with me... Let's be real here, I'm a bit on the crazy side of quirky... And I have stupidly high standards. So, I am content with being the cat lady, the cool aunt who doesn't marry, and adopting children from far-off countries and going where the wind takes me. Which will most probably be France. I hope.

But if I do end up getting married, I'd love to wear this on my head:

Twigs & Honey headbands

My cousin, Anna, blogged about this website and company the other month, and since then I've gone back periodically to check it out! Anna, by the by, is super cool. She is quirky, stylish, fashionable, and artsy. I've always wanted to be like her (now you know!) even though I'm older. If you know her, you understand. You wonder: HOW DID SHE GET TO BE SO FREAKING AWESOME?!

On another note, I wrote a 6 page paper last night. It was due at midnight and I started at 4:30, taking some breaks along the way. I got my grade back just now, and I got a 95. Which is a bit unreasonable because I did not think I did a spectacular job at expressing my opinion... Berini would have given me an 84, a low B. Because she is Berini and an A from Berini requires too much effort and work than I could ever have done my junior year of high school... Ah, the IB days. Pure hell.

At least it is over :) I get to see my family in 7 days and 23 hours! I am so excited, ecstatic, and overwhelmed to see them again. It's been so hard being away but I know it is just a fact of life and I will be stronger at the end of this summer for it.
Plus, I'm preparing for... FRANCE!

In other news, I finally know what it feels like to be relaxed, stress-free, and happy. Although I live alone and have little time to cultivate friendships with the few people I know, I like what I am doing. Working is the highlight of my day. I come home and I read books, which is the second highlight. And nobody at home tells me to clean my room (sorry Mom), so I usually don't.

"She walks, looks, and drives like an ace now!"
Does anyone remember when music used to be good? Beach Boys always remind me :)
