less than perfect day. some parts were good.

that little bird is a barrows goldeneye (picture credit is something from google. i'm getting really lazy with these things, and one of these days i'll get in trouble. that's all i need right now. haha my stupid camera sucks. not an excuse. whatever.) anywho i saw a bunch of these guys (like 3) and a few buffleheads, oodles of gulls, a greater blackback, common eiders, and a really cute dog. all this morning before 10. pretty good way to start a monday. the wind was bitterly cold, but we had fun. i can't wait till the spring so i can go sea kayaking/birding at the same time!

after that little adventure i spent a good few hours running around trying to put my life in order. spring break is fast approaching, i don't have a passport and i'm freaked out about work. lots of library time, a scary email from a professor, a nice email from another professor, a lack of email from the one person who consistently makes me happy haha today sort of sucked. i came home around 5 and made dinner (it was probably the highlight of my day - other than the birds. marinated portobella mushroom stirfry and rice. sweet sweet. sadly then i fell asleep and woke up absolutely terrified that i'd slept all the way till 8am (it was 8pm) and not finished my work/not studied for my es quiz/ written my response paper. i'm not in the best place nerve-wise right now. just not on top of things. i keep having really terrifying dreams/ really odd, not fun dreams. also the general lack of sleep is getting to me.

i got an email from mr gamgee today (holy crap, that's a first in about...oooh...A YEAR!) and apparently we're having tea on thursday. i'll believe it when we're there. i don't understand how you can go from being such good friends to essentially nothing. but whatever. we like the same music so we can talk about that. and beowulf. sweet. freshman year feels like so long ago. again, whatever.

i guess i'm in a pretty bleh mood, although i'm listening to the battle so that's inspiring. everything feels like a big whatever right now, and that's not fun. yesterday, on the other hand, was fun. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge.
