plentiful redemption

O Israel, hope in the Lord!
     For with the Lord there is steadfast
            love,
     and with him is plentiful redemption.

And he will redeem Israel
     from all his iniquities.

I want to go home.
::
I want my mom to hold me tight and tell me I'm ok.
::
I want my sisters to be my only friends because they are never flaky and never ditch me.
::
I want to hug my dad and tell him I'm sorry I missed his birthday and I love him so very much.

how I am.

Sometimes I hurt people I love. Unintentionally.

Then I spend the rest of the day hating myself for it.

marry me juliet you'll never have to be alone...

"HE KNELT TO THE GROUND AND PULLED OUT A RING! AND SAID MY TITLE."

Shann and I listened to TSwift together this afternoon.  She studied Latin and I piddled around putting bobby pins back on their little cardboard dock and thought of greater aspirations.  My spirits soared.  TSwift?  Horrible voice, but, after voice-enhancement, her songs make me smile.  I'm all about smiling.  I mean, Speak Now?! Solid stuff.

Yesterday, Hillsdale College buckled and allowed its first snow day since 1997.  It was a ginormous occasion, ushered in with screaming from all corners of the campus.  I spent the night at my home away from home - The Treehouse, where the coolest seniors live.  Lauren makes fantastic monkey bread and Nathan gives solid advice on how to avoid stupid freshman moments.  It was a good day.

My english professor is a hoot.  She loves baseball and rock music and quotes The Princess Bride in class.  She is one of those rare people who can pull off negativity - she makes it funny.  And here is the kicker: she has let us out between five and fifteen minutes early every single class period this far.  I am far from complaining.

I am taking indoor cycling!  The instructor always skips Ke$ha's Tik Tok but plays Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. I truly don't get it.

Apparently Steve Forbes was on campus earlier this week lecturing...I think perhaps I should have attended.  Badly done, Erica.

Tomorrow is Friday.  Then comes Saturday.  Then Sunday.  Exciting. :)
