It’s called Noah’s Ark ’cause it has all the meats

 Yesterday was my mom’s birthday, so I drove home for the evening to have dinner and hang out some. I think Mom was disappointed I didn’t bring Isabell or spend the night. She had a bag of Isabell’s food sitting on the counter and a wind up toy bunny to give to her. I brought the toy home and took video of Isabell playing with it so that Mom could see how much her present was appreciated! =) I got mom that dog breed DNA test to use on Baxter. Dad got her ballroom dancing lessons! He’s such a secret cheeseball… We went to an artsy pizza place for dinner with Mom’s sister and my cousin Adam. 

I caught a cold somewhere along the line this week. After biking to class Wednesday I realized I was screwed. I took some sudafed and that helped a little, but instead of resting I had to go work on a group project that was due Thursday. After that I had to go home and study for two midterms. I didn’t end up going to sleep until around 1AM and then I forced myself to get up at 4:30 so that I could read an entire chapter on Georg Simmel. My professor always pronounces his name like the American "George" and it’s obnoxious. He also pronounces "verstehen" really weird (ver-STAHN). I’m pretty sure that a good rule for German is to pronounce every letter. 

Anyway. Still sick. I have another midterm in a few hours. I need to finish my homework for that class and I guess study a little bit. I have work from 4:15 to 8:15. At least its only a four hour shift… I’ll probably hype myself up on sudafed and ibuprophen before hand just to make it through. 

I also need a hair cut. Badly. I’ve got those dumb little ‘wings’ that form at the nape of the neck for short hair cuts. I’m tempted to get my hair cropped a LOT closer this time just so I don’t have to deal with it. Also, I think it’d be nice for when I bike so that my hair doesn’t look like I step into a wind tunnel each morning. The only problem is that I have a gigantic forehead. BLEH. 

Got some stuff to write about with Meghan and Hannah later, but right now I need a shower and to do some homework.
