i'm too excited to study!

I'M GOING HOME TO NEWWWW YAWK TOMORROW!!!!!

and i can't wait. legit. i haven't been home yet and i've seen my parents once...and while i'm excited to see them i have a laundry list of people i have to see. at this time last year i already went home once and probably saw my parents twice.

i do have a stupid earth science test tomorrow...i poured out my troubles in that class to Sr. Marta, who might be the most understanding and sympathetic professor ever. i also told Dr. Lawber, who just laughed and said how much he would like to say on the subject. i HEART Dr. Lawber and Sr. Marta. actually, i heart every professor except one. Dr. Sylvia is interesting and really knows her stuff. Dr. Lawber goes without saying. Sr. Marta appreciates how hard i work and how much i have to do! and Dr. Hersh is so, so funny, so entertaining, so knowledgable, and also appreciates how interested i am in the material.

but it's been quite the busy week. Kaoru had to go back to Japan for a death in her family and we (me, her, Greg, Glynnis, and Glynnis' roomate Erin) were up at 4:30 am to get her to the airport in Providence...and last night i had to help set up for the campus min BBQ, have three hours of chorus, and go to my first SGA meeting which was actually really cool and interesting...I HAVE A PLAQUE THAT I RAISE WHEN I HAVE A QUESTION! we get to vote on everything and i have to get used to being called "Senator Donaldson." but don't get me wrong, it's AWESOME. it runs like a real senate. we took this crazy personality test to show our leadership skills and mine came out so accurate that it was scary. then today i had to go to Newport Police to get fingerprinted for Positive Role Models, and Terin and i managed to go to Dunkin afterward, and before our 10:30 classes. had class/lunch/more class, had a meeting with Anna Mae about retreat music (I'M CANTORING THE RETREAT...YAYYYY) and then promptly threw in Anchorman and slept through most of it...for 2 1/2 hours. way to go, Gracie.

i still have to pack...and study...but I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO SEE EVERYONE and to go to NEW YORK CITY!!!!! *squee*
