i am just really happy.  it's really just not that hard. you just have to do it right.

So, today I am sick in bed.  Not really sick, more like continuously uncomfortable and in pain becasue of a silly long chain of events that leads back to good ole' Factor V Leiden.  None the less, I missed my classes this morning.  Anyhow, some pretty exciting news is beginning to surface, it looks like I may end up speanding about a month in Berlin, Germany this summer.  I am going to do it the cheapest way possible, but it will still end up costing me a pretty penny.  April 17th is my birthday and the best present ever would be cash for the trip... haha. 

Well, currently I am trying to get a job.  This is was more difficult than I originally remember.  Making a resume was a pain, but hopefully all of that will end up paying off, literally.  I need about $4,000 for this summer (that is over estimating for saftey) for flight, renting a flat, groceries, euro train pass, hostel for a weekend in Amsterdam, and entertainment (including the Radiohead ticket I already purchased). 

Shelley and Brandon are coming for a visit this weekend, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm behind in my school work and reading.

I'd rather be reading The Looming Tower by Wright for RSSC book club, and I think I will.
