miss emma.

(this picture has absolutely no relevance to today, i just think it's really funny. call us super models if you will.)

today i was in class for about 5 hours. i would say it was a ton of fun, but that would be a lie. it sucked. but i did get to chat with my boyfriend for a bit during mythology, which made it all bearable.

after dinner we saw les miserables. everyone kept telling me about how incredible it was and how i would cry and all that jazz, and i don't want to rain on anyone's parade here but i wasn't all that impressed. maybe it's because it was the first time i've ever seen it, or maybe i'm just cold hearted. and some members of the cast were mediocre at best. it was beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't a life changing experience, which is what i was expecting from les mis. 

i don't really have much else to say about today other than i have two tests to take by saturday and a big paper to write and i am very unprepared. good thing i work well under pressure. 

i wrote a paper i am really proud of today. you know those moments when you do something and then look back at it and think "ohhh yeah this is good. i am smart"? i had one of those moments today. don't worry it doesn't happen to me too often. i wrote about the spring after my freshmen year at byu and how alone i felt and how the fog at tintern abbey brought me back to that phase of my life. it was really interesting to visit those past emotions and to kind of relive it from a different perspective. life takes you on some unplanned courses sometimes, that's for sure. 

i'm exhausted, as usual. but i've decided that being exhausted at the end of the day is the way it should be. i'm glad that i am maximizing my time here, even if i never get the amount of sleep i desire.
