who doesn't like getting mail?

especially unexpected packages.

my mom and dad sent me a box of valentine's day goodies: a cute card, ghirardelli chocolates, cherry cordial kisses, and some unorthodox valentine's candy (fruit snacks and some gum).

i wasn't expecting it at all and it is such a coincidence that i even checked my mail today since it was the first time i've gone near my mailbox and the mail room since last semester's finals week. it definitely made my monday much better.

and a busy monday it was. it wasn't a whole lot different than any other MWF, but it felt so rushed. we had practice this morning, then i came back to my room and slept for about half an hour before getting ready for class and then i hurried over to becker to get my grab and go bagel before physics. the quiz in latin wasn't great, but the test in theology was ok (i think i missed two after having looked at the key online). after biology, i came back here to change and get my stuff for work, weights, and the bio review. i ended up getting stuck at work until 4:20 (even though i get off at 4 and needed to leave then to lift early) and then had to run over to the old gym. i did all my lifting in about 25 minutes, then headed back to rigge for the bio review from 5-6. i was planning on picking up my usual meal from the student center, but the line was outrageous. i bumped into nate there and we got quick, easy, and not-so-good pizza from the convenience store instead of waiting. we ate dinner and then i went up to his room to get my new bracelet (yay). and now i'm back here finally. wasting time as usual.

so, now it's time to give my parents a quick call to say hi and thank you and all that, and then it'll be time to do physics lab, english lit, and hopefully i'll have time for some biology.

my goal tonight is to stay away from watching the olympics. luckily they already started, so maybe i'll be able to...
