things i've learned this semester so far:

1. i can fit 8 full grown guys in my car only using the front and back seats and not the very back. this can be demonstrated by the guys on my team if anyone would like to see. i'm sure we could fit at least three more in the very back if needed.

2. just because you have your lightest credit load of any semester so far doesn't mean you have more free time and doesn't mean you should have 3 jobs.

3. there are a lot of movies i haven't seen. a lot.

4. cooking for one person really isn't all that fun. so if you ever want me to make you dinner, i'm so game.

5. jason bongiovanni is possibly one of the coolest people i know, and he and devin and mitch aren't allowed to go to tanzania next semester, cause i know i'll cry when they do.

6. putting a fishhook type object through your lip doesn't really hurt as much as you would think.

7. his smile is one of the best parts of my day

8. i miss shawn marples a whole lot..he is probably one person that though i haven't seen on a consistent basis since freshman year, i know is genuinely one of my best friends and who i know cares about me and my life. i honestly miss him more than i think he knows, and i can't wait to go visit him this semester. his random messages brighten my day like none other.

9. thursday is still transfer meal day, no matter what. i've eaten a transfer meal every thursday of my college career and this year is no different.

10. everyone is getting married and having babies. and i've learned that i'm happy i'm not.

11. making dinner for 20+ people is actually harder that one might think, but i can now say i successfully pulled it off. even if it was just ziti and not filet mignon.

12. riding 6 days a week does wonders for tendonitis. and by that i am being sarcastic. i have yet to learn why the one thing i love doing the most is the one thing that hurts me the most.

that is all for now. i am sitting listening to the sweet beats of a new song, talking to shawn, drinking a pepsi, and smiling because it's been a fabulous day, all in all. even if it was a monday. i'm starting to think that maybe mondays might be pretty good.
