Recently...

I have been feeling very happy lately and that is probably due to the fact that I am BACK IN SCHOOL! It is a fabulous feeling to be hitting the books and studying all night and reading books and taking tests...I could go on, but I will stop. I am taking PD Bio 220 which = ANATOMY! I have the incredible opportunity to work on cadavers (which I treat with the utmost respect, by the way). Cadavers are so fascinating, but they have a terrible smell which sometimes get to me when I have not eaten. I have an obsession with the human body and find it very useful that I am my own personal cheat sheet in the testing center...so good.
My garden was in full bloom and I harvested the delectable veggies. Sadly I am almost out of onions, which is weird because I never thought I liked onions. Tomatoes are growing on me, but never beets. I HATE beets. It was a fun process and now I am back in my hole...although the one I live in now is QUITE a bit bigger than my Hawaiian hole.
SPEAKING of Hawaii...I miss it...a lot. I miss the sand and the beach and the humidity and the small-ness and the palm trees and the people. I love Hawaii so much and it is truly Heaven on Earth. Hawaii was a wonderful experience that will forever hold a dear place in my heart. As for now, I must move on and accept the mainland as it is.And it is wonderful.
I have been thinking a lot lately....actually I think all the time, but now I am voicing my thoughts.
FIRST: I think it would be extremely romantic to marry a soldier. Gotta love a man in uniform. I have been day dreaming about seeing my make-believe soldier after he returns from months over seas. It was so romantic, but I don't think I could ever REALLY marry a soldier. I do not like to be alone.
SECOND:I am soooooooo excited for HALLOWEEN. It is a fabulous holiday that should be celebrated to it's fullest. I am going to decorate my apartment and get a costume and watch scary movies and have a party. What could be better?
THIRD: I know what could be better than Halloween...THANKSGIVING! I am obsessed with Thanksgiving. Maybe because we get to give thanks and eat around a giant table...but maybe because we just get to eat lots of good food. I have been researching recipes for the past month and I will share those recipes as soon as I narrow down the list. It is like Santa's list...but nothing on my list is bad, maybe fattening, but NEVER bad.
Because I mentioned Santa, I had better mention my preparations for CHRISTMAS! I have been singing and listening to Christmas songs for the past month as well. It is sooooooooooooo exciting I can hardly contain myself. But I cannot be too excited.

Everything outside is beautiful, the trees, the buildings and the sidewalks. I love this season, but I could never get married during the fall. I would be forced to choose either a gross orange color for bridesmaid, a boring brown or a red...and I do NOT look good with red anywhere near my body.
