Goofy grin

Today I have a goofy grin plastered on my face. I never could have imagined that I would have such an amazing Valentine's day this year! I have a date with a super-cool girl, I've gotten several Valentine's from friends, and I served as a muse. I love eating off campus. I'm really looking forward to the chicken noodle soup and turkey sandwich with lettuce only, which was what I get every time I go to Panera. I also have a lot of catching up to do with my super-cool friend. We may be occupying our table for quite a while.
I've been getting a lot of work done this afternoon, as I do most Tuesday afternoons in the office. I'm really worried that I'm going to start neglecting my school work. I still want school to come first. I am an A student and I plan to keep it that way. I definitely need to devote more time to homework than I have been. I don't have many assignments that I turn in. I really only have reading to do so it feels like I don't have much to do, but then I have tests. I don't retain reading well so tests can be tough. It's been quite a while since I've taken a class that has tests so I need to get out of paper-writing mode and into test-taking mode. I keep wondering if I've forgotten how to study. I have gotten sub-par (by my standards) grades. Granted I didn't study half as much as I normally would have for both of them because of the weekend in Michigan. I still feel bad about them. I'm trying to look at the bright side by saying that if I can get a B+ with minimal study-time, then think of what I could get if I really buckled down and studied hard. I am determined to get back to my A+ standard. I have a test on Monday and I will begin studying Thursday for this exam. I will get an A. I cannot allow any more B's. Wow, I'm a dictator. I know this sounds neurotic...but it's just me. I must excel.
The roommate and I are making plans to live together again next year. We want a campus apartment, but I'm nervous about actually being able to get one. I'll have a junior draw-card, but it will be a low number since I'm just barely a junior. In case we don't get an apartment, we have a back-up dorm in mind. We belong together. I can't imagine not coming home to her. We have so much fun in our room. We're very silly girls. I have been really sad the last few weeks at the thought of not living with her. We made Klein Hall an acceptable living environment for each other....I don't know how I would have survived it without her. The only thing that could make living with her better is having a kitchen. I dream of the day that we live in a place with a kitchen. I love food.
