i'm a big girl now!

i take a multi-vitamin,

spend hours doing homework,

cook meals for one,

drink cups of ginger tea when there's a tingle in my throat,

sew my own curtains,

and have even found myself using the phrase, "back when i was your age..." TWICE.

i feel like a real grown-up.

in other news...

i'm attempting to cover this jimmy eat world song.

my very first sewing project will [hopefully] be done tomorrow.

it lightly snowed all day today and i enjoyed it [???!!!!!???].

i learned how to draw perspective today in my art history class and it BLEW MY MIND.

i'm growing more and more nervous about whether or not byu-idaho will let me change my major. a guy from my ward came over last night and he said he petitioned to change his major and it was no big deal.

but he had only 70 credits.

i have 104.

[eek!]

he said that it's not the end of the world if you're majoring in something you don't like.

he obviously doesn't know me

at

all.

the other day, i walked into my house and my roommate said, "wow! you're wearing pants! is this the first time you've ever worn pants to school?"

it wasn't.

but what can i say?

i love dresses.

i talked to plaid-shirt yesterday.

he's kind of forgetful [which is all the more endearing[.

i missed one opportunity to talk to said boy last week when he left his binder in class and the girl next to me grabbed it before i could and gave it to the teacher instead of trying to catch up to him to return it [which was my plan].

but yesterday, i was in luck.

because yesterday he left his jacket in class.

i watched him leave as i put my own coat on and looked forlornly behind me where he usually sits and thought to myself, "self, you will never muster up the courage to talk to plaid-shirt."

and then i saw it.

a navy blue quilted jacket.

i nervously zipped up my coat, and briskly walked out of the classroom, caught up to coatless plaid-shirt, and said,

"hey, i think you left your coat in the classroom."

and he, looking confused, replied,

"....i did?"

and i felt stupid.

but then he realized that he didn't have his jacket on and said,

"oh my goodness, i did. thank you so much for telling me!"

mission:accomplished.
