Let's Make Some Money, Make Some Music

It is official:  I have been at the library for 4 slow and painful hours.  This might be a record for me.  Longest time spent at the library in four years of college.  I am the model student.  Of course, I have been in and out of facebook the entire time as well.

Today was the first official snowfall of the year.  It is so peaceful to me to look at the snow.  I could spend a lot of time absorbed with window watching during this time of the year.  Luckily, I don't have that time right now with finals coming up.

For some reason I have been so spacey this week, and having a lot of trouble concentrating on school.  It could partially be because next week is finals and then its home for a month! A month filled with commutes back and forth into the city for work.  At least I have the view to enjoy of the lights on Michigan Avenue.  Just about the only thing that makes me smile when I go into the city these days..

That and of course hanging out with my lovely friends, or rather soul mates.  It is only when you don't get to spend everyday with friends that you really begin to cherish the friendships you have built with certain people.  When we all get together now, it brightens up my day and I can't stop laughing or smiling.  I can be myself completely and reminisce and build new memories with these loved ones.

It is nice to have those friends that can brighten up your day and make you forget that you just had a mental breakdown about absolutely nothing.  Ah, the perks of being a woman.

The only concern other than finals I have these days are my new years plans.  At this moment I have three potential dresses.  One absolute drop dead gorgeous one, as long as I have somewhere to wear it too, and two backup dresses, just in case.  While making plans, I was teased a little bit about not having a date.  Now keep in mind, I am 21 years old and recently out of a relationship.  Why is it that I am expected to have a date? Have we suddenly entered the out of college dating realm where we go on endless dates, Sex and The City Style until we find "the one"? I was unaware of this sudden shift.  It doesn't make me feel vulnerable or sad that I don't have a date though because why should I be attached to someone all night on New Years Eve at a huge party when I could be dancing and having the time of my life without the attachment to my hip? That is exactly what I plan on doing.  Having the time of my life, and I owe it all to me.
