contagious smiles are cyclical onto myself

i'm trying to find a good photo uploading program to use to upload some of my photos from work. i'm also waiting to find a moment to sit down and read the manual on my new camera, so i can learn to take to best pictures possible with all its gagillion settings and options... someday soon, hopefully. i think i'm just tired and not wanting to do anything right now. i have a huge test on friday morning, but the book for the class is soul sucking and i don't want to read it. (its one of those ridiculously huge texts with fine print and ginormous chapters...oh, and sentences a paragraph long with words i swear don't exist in the english language. the landscape historian that wrote the thing has no life...i stick my tongue out to you, Elizabeth Barlow Rogers!) so, yes. I can't get myself to read to damn thing. plus i'm trying to read Blink for a group project we have to do, and study for my midterm on monday for the internet class that i haven't even looked at the notes for yet. gulp. i'm a terrible student.

but on a side note, i feel happy today. i walked around smiling most of the day and found myself giggling over nothing a lot as well. i'm not really sure what the reason for this is; maybe i got sprinkled with fairy dust or something; though i didn't achieve lift off or anything. neverland is still just out of my reach. everyone i know in the world is busy. all my arch friends, (in both countries, mind you) have projects due tomorrow and are being temporarily eaten alive. my heart goes out to all of them tonight, and has been for the past week. we will party this weekend to revive you! everyone else i know i cant get a hold of because they are swamped too. i feel alone, but i'm still content. i look forward to this weekend. i want to do something fun and social. i also need to catch up on financial crap; interesting how much i feel like an adult lately.

anyways, weather will soon be perfect. i expect around the 15th everything will be just right. it usually happens around that date. winter clothes are sounding so good to me right now. soft, warm sweaters and coats, socks, and scarves. (though people look at me like i'm nuts for wearing a scarf in arizona, but i won't give it up). anyways, off to sleep. pictures are soon to come. take care to all of those suffering homework burdens tonight!
