i’m in a lewis carroll sort of mood.

Which is a good thing, if you’re wondering. I’m not really sure how to describe it. I think it all started when I found out Chi Phi is going to have a Disney-themed party in two weeks.

My first thought was to dress up as the Dormouse from Alice in Wonderland (because when I think of Disney my mind doesn’t automatically revert to the princesses), so I did the usual Google search to find out what I would need to get to make a costume.

Instead, this is what I found:

 

 

 

and this:

which are both a far cry from what I was originally looking for:

 

I ended up deciding to be a card instead. But I have found myself a new adorable ball of fluff to squeal over, and that is always a very good thing.

But enough of my random ramblings.

I find myself at the end of a very exhausting, very enjoyable long weekend filled with friends, fraternity parties, rehearsal, a date, a Matisse exhibit, laser tag, and movie marathons. Sleep was minimal. But I don’t really mind. A 5 Day Weekend like this only occurs so often, so you have to make the most of it. And for those who would dispute it, the weekend starts on Thursday even if there is French class at 9:00 on Friday. Plus, it’s the first weekend of the new semester – what better way to celebrate it?

Time has passed so quickly. I feel like I should be in February already, things have progressed so much since I last wrote. Nothing is as I left it, I’ve learned from my month of absence. I’ve also learned that I like it. I don’t have to dwell on the questions of what could have been. I don’t have to care anymore about what did and didn’t happen last semester. There’s nothing to weigh heavy on my mind except the pressing need to read Don Quixote and Remains of the Day for class tomorrow. Carefree contentment is such a nice feeling.

Which is why I am currently sitting on Joscelyn’s bed in my favorite shirt from Will Smith’s Fresh Prince era and going through my OU Radio playlist and procrastinating until dinnertime. I personally think it’s a wonderful way to end the weekend.
