Back to the Grind!

The lamb Dom won for Julian from a crane
machine over break, with the help of my
friends Morgan, Alejandro,
and Carrie :) We bought it a blue ribbon
to make it more masculine!

I returned to school yesterday afternoon, and went to classes today, both of which have completely bummed me out! It sucks being back at school after having such a great week at home, but I'm really looking forward to just getting it over with and finishing strongly.

I feel like my belly has really popped in the last week or so! I have also started to be able to distinguish between baby and gas, which is really cool, and it makes me so happy whenever I am sitting quietly and feel a couple jabs. Each time I feel something, I say in my head "Baby" or "Gas", just to reassure myself of the differences. I can't wait until there's really no mistaking the two! (A statement which I know I will regret later.)

It's been beautiful out for the past week! I do love being able to open my curtains and let the sunshine in, and see everyone out in the residential quad, laying on blankets or tossing a ball or frisbee around. It lightens my mood considerably when there are so many people out and about! Hannah and I even lied outside for a little while before dinner today. I just wish my legs weren't so pasty and the backs of my thighs weren't so dimply, so I could put on some sorts... *sigh*.

My laptop broke over break! One day it just didn't turn on! I'm completely devastated over it, because that thing is my life, and I've had it for so long. I saved my measly $50 paychecks until I had enough for it! I just hope I can bring it somewhere that will be able to retrieve things thats are on the hard drive so all my pictures and things aren't gone forever. Luckily enough, Dom was kind enough to let me borrow his laptop. It's newer than mine though, so it's actually hard to get used to. Come back to life laptop, please!

Well, this post is mostly catch-up blather, so I won't bore anyone else. Bye for now!!
