I know you will forgive me for my honesty.

Today was nice and quiet.

Woke up at 9am.

Dressed a bagel, made some coffee and watched the Today show. 

Got dressed, walked around campus and checked out some class locations.

Established that the weather was making the day seem like fall and not at all a January kind of morning.

And that the fall quarter felt like summer, at least in the beginning.

This is typical for CA, right?

Went into the bookstore which was a madhouse.

Eavesdropped on girls talking about other girls, "Like... that was so funny running into her. Does she really think we're all hanging out tonight? Maybe she shouldn't dress like such a ... (out of earshot)"

Yikes.

Bought 9 books and lugged them all back.

My arm was shaking for 20 minutes when I came home.

There were so many bees everywhere!

I don't like bees.

This is a new development (not that I don't like them, but that they emerged in abundance).

They'd lazily land on whatever they felt like.

Twice, I darted out of the way.

Anyways, I looked through my texts, which is something I tend to always do before classes begin.

With all the reading I'm going to have to do, it's likely that I'm going to be cross eyed by the end of the quarter.

I'm taking this Cultural English class and it's got some interesting materials.

One that caught my eye is called Safe Area Gorazde by Joe Sacco.

I flipped through it in the bookstore and noticed that it was a comic book type of novel, much like the Persepolis series which I love.

Basically, it completely sucked me in. Skimming this took an hour and a half and suddenly I finished it.

It's about the conversations between a journalist and Bosnians who endured the Bosnian War. 

Honestly, my knowledge on this war was very slim so I was really interested and mostly disturbed the whole time I was reading it. I probably set the book down 4 or 5 times and was taken aback. 

Upon its finish, I made myself a pasta dinner and talked to Nicole for some hours.

Decided that I will take a cycling class on Monday/Weds mornings.

Which sounds so intense and ridiculous.

I just have to try it.

Talked to Mandana about what I want to do when I graduate.

Graduate schools, their locations, what my heart is set on.

Drank a glass of wine, talked to Dan for half a second. 

Dan, are you ever alone? 

I think you poop with one of your friends right there with you in the bathroom, hanging out.

I'm joking, of course.

And now I'm here. 

I'll be going to bed in an hour or so.

Such a long day tomorrow and then dinner making with Leanna as my reward.

I'm anxious.

But see here,

What's the point in being anxious? I will just be positive. Optimistic. Tell myself, I got this! 

And just go for it.
