Ryan just made us the most amazing hot chocolate ever =D
This week has been really good, minus the few down falls, but that's life after all.
Ryan and I had the chance to talk to our English teacher the other day in her little cute cozy office. She was helping editing our papers, but then we got off topic with the the whole wedding planning and traveling. She is such a cool teacher. She went to Berkeley, an awesome school, and traveled abroad in England for an entire year! Ahhh, so exciting... ry and I told her of what we want to and she was like "DO ALL OF IT, DO IT ALL". haha.
I'm going to take that advice to heart, I mean we only live once.
movie/snuggle/cocoa time now

18 Random Rules of Life worth posting on your mirror by Michael Josephson:
1. Find the lesson in every failure, and you'll never fail.
2. The likelihood you're right is not increased by the intensity of your conviction.
3. Real friends help you feel worthy and make you want to be better.
4. When you're in a hole, stop digging.
5. Don't confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.
6. Refusing to let go of a grudge is refusing to use the key that will set you free.
7. Hating hurts you more than the person you hate.
8. Counting on luck is counting on random chance; your odds are much better when you plan and work.
9. It's better to be kind than clever.
10. Don't underestimate the power of persistence.
11. The easy way is rarely the best way.
12. It's much easier to burst someone else's bubble than blow up your own.
13. You can't avoid pain, but you can avoid suffering.
14. Self-pity is a losing strategy; it repels others and weakens you.
15. Short cuts usually produce short success.
16. Control your attitude or it will control you.
17. It's more important to be significant than successful.
18. The world is waiting for you to heal it.
These are all so good and wise that I felt it worth the time to type them all out individually, implanting them in my head so that I can live by them.
For my Brit Lit class we just finished the lovely 1818 edition of Frankenstein. I loved it, even more than the last time I read it in High School. The gothic elements are genius for her time. Now I just have to write an essay, which will actually be fun to write.
