I have an unnatural affection for natural peanut butter.

And I see the friendly neighborhood police at least once a week.
Just a couple of tidbits about La Haley.

I am:

Active: My hands are still unthawing. I spent two hours on the steps of the capital building and then marched to the federal building in a wind chill of 3 degrees Fahrenheit while snow began to fall. A couple hundred people and I were out protesting the war and bush. It was absolutely wonderful to see all the people there and see all the support from those driving by and honking or flashing us the peace sign. :) My hands turned, not exaggerating, pure white with purple streaks - but standing in front of the federal building, looking out over the people and banners while the snow fell, listening to some pretty awesome speakers, I found myself so fulfilled at getting out and doing something that matters so much to me.

Stocked: I burned over 10 CDs from my dear friend Schy last night, only to find on my doorstep today the 4 new CDs I ordered from Amazon waiting for me this morning. I love the inventor of the CD burner and the postal service (both the band and the actual parcel delivery service). New Music Binge at my place.

Bendy: Seriously. At the gym today, I surprised myself at how flexible I'm getting even after only a couple weeks. Long live the butterfly and hurdler.

Thrifty: I learned how to knit last night! I have wanted to know how for years, and Schy finally taught me. Sweater, anyone? Perhaps a stylish potholder?

Contemplative: I have a lot to sort through in the next few months. Grad School? A very interesting job that I'm looking into? Move to California with my bestie (one of)? The Peace Corps? A Volunteer Project? Teaching English in another country?

Received: I got a letter from SFSU today. They received my application. I could barely hold in the excitement that the letter brought to me . . .

Honored: Dean's List, baby! Woohoo.

Booked: Spring Break 07 - The AZ, baby! :) I get to see my fabulous sister and spend a few days in a climate not containing the words "wind chill" in its daily forecast. Thank you Kristen, you are wonderful. :)

Frightened: This week is going to kick my ass. Must: work, read two poetry journals, write a 1000 word poetry paper, post another poem on blackboard, 500 word poetry essay, read poli sci book that goes *woosh* (that was the info going striaght over my head), write a 7-page poli sci paper, make "good" comments in poli sci class, revise 2 essays for grad apps, write 3 new essays for grad apps, complete 2 grad apps and mail, start voice with a new teacher (mine had to go and have a baby . . . sheesh), write a letter to a potential employer in China . . . the list goes on and on.
