Sugar and cinammon. They're quite good, a nice change. Mine were not so good, I mean, they're average I guess. I wasn't overly thrilled with them...they can't all be winners though.
In other news, I finally got my history done...yay for being productive!
Arg, this is the least productive I've been in weeks.

Ha, Chloe, just saw your post. Too funny!
Let's hope no one ever has to email Adam in an emergency.

Good Morning!

Good morning!
There is no way I'm going to be able to concentrate and sit still long enough to get through my two classes today...and then drive home....
I'm a little anxious, could ya tell?
I'm almost postitive I didn't do all my homework yesterday.
Home stretch til break!
I think that you all got me sick. I have a bad sore throat.
In 2 and a half hours I will officially be on Spring Break! Hooray! Then I have to do my laundry and pack and go home where I will eat some fabulous food!
I'm not going home til tomorrow. At least I have time to pack.

I have the feeling that I'll never want to go home during breaks in college.
It's a lot more of a pain for people living across the country. My friend lives in San Francisco and our Thanksgiving break was so short that she decided to go home for Election Day weekend instead and ended up being home for 4 days.
Lexi, I only spent half of winter break home this year, and none of Spring break home last year. I see my parents a lot, so I'm only going this year because my grandma was visiting. Otherwise it would just be easier for me to meet my mom at the airport next week. I never want to go home. My mom hates it.

Heh. I'm only going home for like 2 and a half days this spring break and that's way more than enough for me. Sometimes I feel guilty about not going home more often because my family lives so close to where I go to school, but once you've experienced the freedom of living on your own, it's so hard to go back under your parents' roof and live by all of their rules and deal with all of the family drama (which I got enough of in Florida last week to last a while). The only reason I went home as much as I did last semester was that my parents couldn't come into the city to see me as much as they usually do because of my dad's broken ankle.

Exactly. Obviously, my opinion could change by the time my first break rolls around, but as it is now, I avoid my mom as much as possible. I can't imagine wanting to leave NYC in order to spend more time with her in the middle of nowhere.
I love my mother, but our relationship is at the point where we can barely say anything to each other without arguing about something.
ETA: I sound like I'm in a down about all of this... I'm not! I've very much accepted my relationship with my mother. Heh.

That's how it was with my mom and I for most of my senior year. It sucks. I think the was offended that I truly COULD NOT WAIT to go away to college.
Random announcement:
Exactly one year ago today, I saw Rent filming, and met Anthony for the first time.
.... how weird is that?
/end random announcement.
Just wait until this summer, Lexi. Although I didn't personally experience this, I know a lot of people think parents are so distraught about their children leaving, and vice versa, that the summer before freshman year, people unconsciously deal with it by making the summer really uncomfortable and argumentative so it's easier to leave.
Wow. That was a long sentence. Ehhh.
That definitely happened to me. And sometimes I think it's why we fight even when I'm home; if you're mad, it's easier to leave.

That was me in my senior year of high school, and even now if we spend more than a certain amount of time together, my mom and I will get into a huge fight over something ridiculous.

Definitely true in my case, only it started pretty early in my senior year of high school.

Thanks for the... warning, girls. I feel like every single time I'm around her, she tries to sneak in some sort of life advice. I tell her that I already know what she's telling me, she gets defensive and tells me not to interrupt, and a silly argument breaks out over nothing. By the end, I've told her that she's irritating me and she's told me not to disrespect her like that and stormed out.
And Em, that's pretty cool. Like I've said before, even though I wasn't really a part of the huge anticipation for the film's release, it seems weird that everything is just... over.
I had realized it was coming up at the beginning of the week, and then today totally forgot until my friend was like "do you know what today is?" I tend to be big on dates in general, 'cause I'm a memory whore. It's weird. 'cause that was like... square one. I think like we were saying before when we were talking about Rent "changing lives," it's not so much even that one moment or that one night, as much fun as it was, but everything that's come out of it.
My mom did the advice thing, too. It was so, so awkward. Like "don't drink! Don't... be stupid!" oy.
A lot of my fights with my mom hinge on her tendency to repeat herself to the point of annoyance (especially on issues I'd rather not dwell upon) and my tendency to stop listening in anticipation of the repetition. She's also somewhat easily offended, and I definitely inherited my dad's loud, brash, take-no-prisoners sense of humor, and as you can imagine that causes a bit of tension.

I remember about a week before move-in day, I was in the car with my mom and she started giving me "the talk." So awkward. Even now, every time she calls me I get a lecture about not walking or taking the subway by myself, especially at night.

Well... here's to many more Rent-related adventures.
The advice of the day yesterday was not to use MySpace and not to post on message boards because potential employers are going to find my posts. Ooookay.
