So it's been awhile... my life was chock full of reading, studying, and taking exams for a few weeks. Right now I'm on spring break and things aren't looking too much different. This spring break isn't like most 24-year-olds' spring breaks, it's been full of reading, organizing old family photos, patching holes in walls and then painting them, and interior design. No booze or sex unfortunately, but would Martha Stewart sacrifice finding the perfect warm tone for an office wall by trying to get laid and take great Facebook photos in Florida? I think not.

I've been having these really weird clairvoyant-like dreams this past week. One was sort of a nightmare, in which I was trapped in my bathtub with four centipedes... I managed to kill one of them, but then the largest one started to run towards me (they weren't real centipede sized, they were like squirrel-sized but longer). As I was panicking, the centipede suddenly had my cat's face and it attacked me, it felt as if something had bitten into my hand. I woke up at about 3:30 AM with my heart pounding, and I immediately started looking for my cat b/c I felt like something was wrong. Turns out someone let him out around dinner-time and never let him back in. He was just sitting by the side door waiting for me to come get him. It's as if he was contacting me from outside of the house in my dreams... what a freak!

In other news, I had a really nice day today. I went out for lunch with my brother the businessman, something we haven't done together in awhile without the rest of the family. We looked through a family album that I put together from scrap pictures that I have found during the past week, we laughed at our teenage awkwardness and my mom's ever-changing hair, oh, and my dad's seventies mustache. For dinner, I got carryout sushi with Julie and we ate while watching Superbad. Basically I got to relax and hang out with two people I hardly ever get to hang out with anymore (plus eat some tasty food), as well as see a movie that everyone kept denying me to see! So in Ice Cube's words, 'today was a good day'.
