Scary Wind and finished essay

So I have not even changed out of my pjs today. I was really regretting not going for a run when I saw that the sun was out. But, at a second glance and more attentive listen, I realize it was sunny but actually raining hard, on and off, and that noise I heard wasn't just the buzzing of my laptop adapter but of the wind.

As I sit here alone in my room, sorry, that wasn't meant to sound as sad as I think it does now, I hear the wind beating away furiously at all obstacles in its path. I'm really glad to be inside, in my sweats, away from the cold and wet.

Although I have done a lot of unproductive nothingness today, I am quite proud to announce that I have indeed finished my Ivory Trade paper! So what if I meant to finish it yesterday and have already started on paper two by today. I still got one thing done and am content with that. Oy, it took a lot longer to do all my fact/reference checking, but it's done.

I've managed to check facebook and email more today than usual, if you can believe it, waiting to hear from possible couch surfer hosts. So far nothing, so, please continue to wish me luck.

Is it weird that as soon as I finished and started my "I finished my pa-per" song and dance I was kind of saddened not to have anyone to celebrate with? Irene is at the library, she's been working so hard and long all week! But I was kind of really wanting my Wendilla, Jen, Kevin and Justin to go to. I just wanted to walk away from my computer, hop on Kevin's bed and let my brain breathe (of course with all of the procrastination I've done I don't need quite an unwind as I normally do) and be entertained by silly antics in room 1509. The weather even kept Mandy and I from getting together tonight, grrr. Ok, random nostalgia, just gotta shake it off I guess and send those loves happy thoughts. I could really go for a skype chat now, this damn time difference can be quite the pain in the butt, oh well I guess.

Ok, I didn't mean to leave that sounding all sad. I'm not sad or homesick. I don't really get homesick, however I do miss people and right now was just one of those, wish you were here, moments. All is well, especially now that that paper is done!
I'm done, ttfn
