it's that weird time of (school) year where the days are going by so quickly you almost can't keep track of the days, and the tests and expectations start piling up but finals still seem so far away. it's a weird sensation, but it always happens.
but as the day goes by, one day also continues to get closer. (yes my 23rd birthday shudder) but more IMPORTANTLY, the arrival of one Antoinette Day. Ahhhh I cannot wait! We're going to have so much fun i can hardly stand it. And pretty much all the work will have been turned in right before she gets here so i won't even be stressing about school (for the most part). we'll be road tripping, which means spirit journey and hopefully finding amazing wolf shirts or indian jewelry or some such treasure. maybe a trashy shot glass or something, one that harkens back to the kelsey and julia days (an i caught crabs in california shot glass was, indeed, purchased once upon a time).
we will also be having a pit stop in las vegas where perhaps we will eat at the delicious restaurant me, antoinette, tina, and alexa went to in october when i was in vegas last. that mexican food was delicious. we will also be stopping at any/ all "world's largest" monuments. maybe even a ghost town, depends on the time. and then we will get to LA where the beaches and weather are great. we'll go dancing, to beverly hills, santa monica, the works. anto has never been to los angeles (somehow) so it should be a good time. and then we'll hang around provo until she leaves.
my whole family (other than margaret) is in new york right now. bummer.

happy saint patricks day from j dawgs

today i spent seven hours working on two stupid sculptures for my sculpture class. i love the class, i do not love my inability to make actually cool things. hopefully my bronze sculpture will turn out well. that one i intend to gift to my father. i made it with him in mind. 

holy smokes in a little over a month i'll be on a plane to hawaii with my entire family. the thought just blew my mind with excitement.

alright. i'm going to go read vogue and pretend like i'm actually thin enough to look good in the outfits. 

and yes, i know what you're thinking, but the hot dog was cheap-as-free and i can only eat that way until antoinette visits because i'm trying to budget here. priorities, gotta have priorities. 

and YES i ate dinner at home tonight golly.
