A Great Day!

Man, I don't even know where to start. Well... from the beginning I suppose :)

First off, this morning I was supposed to have a test in History that I was a little stressed about, but I was preparing as much as I could. For some reason, when I take tests I usually end up feeling like I could have studied more or something, so I'm not a big fan of tests. But! My class got CANCELLED!! It definitely made my day, and it was only 9am! Sweet!

I got to read the book I've been wanting to read basically since the semester started. (I love to read, but I love reading the things I want to read so it's been somewhat frustrating because this semester there's just no time to curl up with a GOOD book...and I'm used to reading a few books at once, so I just haven't felt all that stimulated by multiple text books, ...sometimes.... but rarely ha).

The book I'm reading is called The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, its the second book to The Name of the Wind. If you haven't heard of Patrick Rothfuss or his books, they are most certainly worth looking into. If you like fiction adventure types, or know anyone who does, this is a GREAT book to read and Christmas is coming! I often end up liking books because of the author's style of writing. Rothfuss provides a good mix of clever intellectual humor, climactic story lines, and moves at a good pace. That's one of the problems for me this semester, I don't want to put the book down which only contributes to putting off more homework ha. Not to mention, the main character, Kvothe (sounds like Quwothe) was raised in a traveling "theatre" group (the Edema Ruh) and is constantly referring to it as a basis of character. It really is remarkable because I've never identified so much with a writer because of this reason and its freaking awesome! The overall plot is about Kvothe's story, his adventures at the University while he studies sympathy (a type of "magical" science...but its science so it's not magic..ya) and the whole book is him telling his own story so you don't know how he got to where he is now....just read it..i've already said too much..but clearly im excited about it)

Overall, my day at school today felt productive. I had a presentation in my health class on acupuncture. I felt pretty confident researching this subject mainly because when I went to massage school, my mentor/teacher was an acupuncturist so I wasn't completely dull to the subject.  And I'm pretty comfortable with talking in front of people, it feels like I'm on stage or something...so I had fun.

Then I had a cup of tea with my roomate later and we talked about Chinese Medicine which was a very interesting conversation. I'm excited because he's allowing me to borrow the book about it when he's done reading it. YAY!

I biked to the SLO Farmer's Market and brought my homework. Stopped by Kreuitzberg for a few hours and worked on my homework for a while, until the market started. I bought a bunch of veggies and the farmer hooked me up! Seriously! $4.00 for a huge thing of bok choy, 1lb of green beans, two huge tomatoes, three squash, four zucchini..and I think that's it. I also ended up getting some apples and onion from a different stand, but I only paid like $7.00 for ALL of them....it was sweet!

And now, I just got back, threw on some warm clothes (its freezing here right now! ). I wrote my amazing boyfriend Kyle Gaunt. If you don't already know, I haven't seen Kyle (in person) since September 22nd-ish and I won't see him until about December 15th. I love him so much and I'm happy to say that it's going great!  I cannot WAIT to see him again soon. ...SOON! :)

Right now I'm wrapped up in a blanket my Grandma made for me ( I love it ), listening to Christmas music, gonna read some more and brainstorm Christmas ideas.

This is how I basically feel right now.. :D  Gonna go make a cup o'tea!
