not your typical friday night.

i literally cannot remember the last time that i did absolutely nothing on a friday night. i've been so consumed with upcoming finals, projects, and a lovely little 8 page paper for a certain history class, that what was happening this friday night was the last thing on my mind. tonight ive sat in my bedroom by myself and i have had quite a lovely time, if i do say so myself. sometimes i forget how necessary it is for me to have a little alone time every once in a while. tonight ive been able to collect my thoughts and in a way, regroup. my mind had finally caught up to the place my heart has been trying to take me these past couple weeks. now that my heart and my head are on the same page i am ready to take on the last couple weeks of 2009.

ive even had a few unexpected surprises this evening

tonight i

-finished quite a bit of homework, can you say childrens theatre reading reviews, i can, but id rather not

-finally wrote out my finals schedule for next week, yikes

-nearly starved to death, but then after my only hope, also know as my mother, informed me she was just leaving a long day at work and was exhausted, for good reason, i made some toast, which id forgotten could be so tasty

-had three visitors at my bedroom window

the first i was somewhat convinced was the 'up burglar' right outside my window, goodness gracious aaron scott

the second and third were my parents!! surprising me with presents in the form of dinner, and treats from starbucks =]] seriously what parents take the time to do that, freaking great ones, to be more specific, mine.

-laughed at my dad when he managed to step in two fairly deep puddles, in his slippers mind you, on the short walk out to the car

-listened to the giggling and loud music from the lovely ladies at the bachelorette party in the apartment above mine, who later so generously presented me with a delightfully shaped gender specific cupcake. tasty.

-found an online luganda phrase book, my heart did a little dance. gotta keep all the things i learned this summer fresh, im convinced my minimal knowledge of the language of uganda will come in handy someday

-got accquainted with carrie underwood and justin bieber, thank you kayla

also...

someday in the future i'll be able to sing this song to my mom, and i love that.

mama's song
