coffee and bricks

I was going to start with introductions, but that feels way too much like the first day of school (yes, we still do that in college) and whoever is reading this probably knows me (hopefully), which makes introductions sort of pointless. Unless! I do them in Spanish! By utilizing everything I've learned in the first two weeks of my Spanish 101 class I might be able to tell you something you never knew before...



Here goes:



Vivo en Pullman con cuarto chicas y uno chico.

And on to bigger and better things...like lists!



Just in case anyone wasn't already aware, I have an obsession with lists; I make them for everything. Colors, textures, disgusting words, multi-syllable words describing grass, sunflowers, different kinds of bouncy balls, breakfast foods, bridges, homework, things I can do, things I would like to do, things I shouldn't do, things I should do, things I will do, things I shouldn't have done...there are about a million more but today's list doesn't have to do with any of those.

The title is: banana

My procrastination has been pretty successful so far (the banana split looks really good), but I have a Spanish test tomorrow to study for and creative writing pieces to critique as well as one of my own to write (which will be posted when it's done, critiques always welcome).

I'm thinking about just bringing a sleeping bag to the Daily Grind with me next time since I am here so often. I like being at my house but when I try and study there I either fall asleep or get distracted talking to people. It's fun, but not a good way to ace a Spanish test.

Oh! I almost forgot my most exciting news of all. My snow boots from Urban Outfitters arrived yesterday and now I am invincible. I could scale a vertical ice wall with these things, its completely exhilarating.
I purposely walked over all the icy spots where I've had altercations in the last two weeks and gave the ground a dirty look, 'take that sucka'.
