here comes the sun...

or, at least, it was here, for a couple of hours, at least. woke up this morning when i heard the roommate stumbling out to the shower; looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:45. like... what?! i haven't seen 7:45 in, uh, a few weeks, actually. but i got up and peeked out of the curtain and -- lo! -- there was sun! and blue skies! seeing as i got caught in the rain yesterday, this was a very exciting thing, and so i was dressed (before val, too; amazing) in record time, and ran off to breakfast, and then ran off for my walk. i rocked the big sunglasses and everything; quite, quite exciting. unfortunately, the fog began to roll in and the day became slightly overcast and grey, but it's okay, as i got my dose of sun and blue skies. there's nothing like strolling down woodstock, cars streaming past, sun shining, and big and rich blaring on the headphones. sigh. after that, i came back, changed my bed linens, and got dressed and actually looked cute for once -- my new black trousers and my black puffed-sleeve turtleneck, all accessorized with my pretty jewelry and such. dunno why i'm making such a big deal of it, but maybe because i feel like i am dressing the way, well, i would back home, which makes me really, really happy. and as it is my birthday week, i feel as though it is absolutely necessary and essential that i make myself cute everyday. and so after i dressed and such, i ventured out to cafe nero on high street and worked on my emma essay over a cup of chai, which, though over-loaded with too much milk, was pretty darn good. and so now i am back in my room, attempting to work, though i think a nap is in order, as i got myself up really early and exerted myself a lot. sigh. but today is going well, though it is the day before valentine's day, but i shall ignore that. tomorrow i plan (in addition to going to seminar) to go out, buy myself roses and chocolate, and maybe making a good dinner. something involving spinach and baby shrimp or something. anyway, i am off for a nap; sunshine, however, was far too fantastic to pass up sharing. chorus is tonight, so i need to (attempt) to do some work so i don't feel like the past two days were an entire waste of time....
