waiting for my real life to begin

i did not go outside today. i spent an entire day in doors, being productive: i woke up at 10:30, i did four loads of laundry, i watched five personal wellness lectures, i practiced my three speeches three times each, i emptied my garbage basket, and i set up my schedule for next fall. i did not, however, make my bed nor did i shower, but i think that can be excused because i showered last night. point is, i haven't been this productive during the daytime all semester. i feel accomplished and that is one of my favorite feelings.
i think i am seeing the light and the end of the tunnel that is my freshman year of college and that makes the work i do have more purpose. it's like, if i get this done then i get summer and i will do most anything to get summer right about now. i've cultivated a false sense of summer here on the windiest, coldest campus in iowa- i wear shorts & flip-flops, i go tanning, and i even work out (weird, since i'm so good at sitting in one spot...) but i'm that desperate for my summer routine that involves not doing laundry, spending hours watching really weird movies with some of the best people in the world, running/taking naps/eating/shopping/working/drinking/living with my two best friends. & waking up happy. i never woke up feeling sad until i got to school- i blame casey, jess, & my family. not seeing them everyday is the hardest part of all of this.
that's one thing that i learned from my personal wellness lectures today: i am so codependent. but according to c.shima, that's "actually a good thing!"

9 days till nfa.
33 days till happy mornings.

looking forward,
