Bedtime...

I promised myself last week that if it was kinda warm one day this week, I'd totally give myself a skirt day. So that's what I did today, and it was awesome cause I haven't had a real skirt day since like...May? (Church doesn't count...neither does important functions.) To a girly-girl like me, the swishy and the floaty gives me a happy that absolutely nothing can take away.

And then it rained. I've said it before, but I love the rain. And I didn't really care since I had my plastic jacket too. I'm sure the girls walking in front of me to class this afternoon thought I was insane cause I was laughing... But I didn't care. The wind was at my back, the raindrops were falling on my face, and my skirt was swishing.

...But all that humidity gave me a fantastic 'fro. I mean, seriously, you guys would've been amazed. I could literally feel my hair shrinking and expanding in real time.

When I speak up in class, it feels like a little victory. I had two little victories in my IB class today.

Tonight I will dispel a myth. I, in fact, do not like everyone...but let me explain. I did a marketing study for extra credit this morning, which was kinda interesting. But at one point, I was reading the instructions. "There is a bucket in front of you. Remove the bucket and look at what's under it." So I remove the bucket, and there's this piece of chocolate cake sitting there. Now I haven't eaten yet today, and the smell of cocoa is filling my nostrils. "Please do not touch or eat the snack. Look at the snack for 2-3 minutes and imagine deliberating on whether or not to eat it."

Imagine? I was deliberating for real. I swear, if I had been just a little bit hungrier, those research people would've been out of luck. But I just sat there, staring at the cake, my wrath burning against the hateful people in Marketing Research.

Afterwards, I was understandably a little tired, but it was okay cause I had chai. I was staring out into space, slumped over a bit, with my paper cup in a deathgrip...and my professor laughed at me. He said it looked like I was in possession of life-giving nectar. I was like, "This is life-giving nectar."

I was only half-joking.
