Significant moment of the day: I survived without coffee for more than 24 hours
So... for those who know me well, you know that coffee is pretty much oxygen to me. I came to the realization i was an addict when I realized that at night, I was excited to drink my coffee for the morning. Anyways, my name is Laura and I made it more than 24 hours without a cup of coffee. I honestly couldn't tell you why I did it? Maybe proving I wasn't an addict. I don't think thats the case but i did drink about 4 cups of cinnamon tea today. For the record? Delicious. I smell something new for my breakfast drink of choice.... and it smells like cinnamon.

Day 46: I present my foot in my mouth
Significant moment of the day: Anatomy presentations
Much less fun than the name implies...my group and I presented the hand/wrist joints. while the presentation was overall pretty good, I did not do so well. I don't know what it is about class presentations, but I manage to speak so fast that light (as in speed of light) asks me to slow down. Oh well, I rocked the carpal tunnel syndrome slides. *sigh. I guess we figured out why Laura isn't a teacher.

Day 45: I take a stand
Significant moment of the day: Taking a stand against Valentine's day.
How? I didn't go to my 3:00 writing class. Why? Because we were going to make Valentines. So take that Hallmark. I won't play your games. Instead, I watched Big Bang Theory, ate pierogies and leisurely made my way to French Revolution class. A much better way to spend my time.

Day 44: F*ck You, 5th floor....my apologies
Significant moment of the day: Accidentally blasting Cee Lo Green on the 5th floor of the library
For those who go to IC and have been to the fifth floor of the library, you know that to even sneeze up there guarantees you dirty looks. Well, blasting the song Fuck You by Cee Lo Green by accident...doesn't earn you ANY brownie points. Here's the thing. I left my phone on the table i was working on when i went to the bathroom. I also forgot to put it on silent..and turn off the alarm i had set to make sure i was staying on task. My alarm? Is the lovely Cee Lo song. Needless to say, returning from the bathroom i heard a familiar sound, found my phone and turned a lovely shade of red out of embarrassment. Once again residents of the fifth floor...I am sorry.

Day 43: I high fived a clown!
Significant moment of the day: Dance for Courage marathon!
This past saturday night, I spent 10 pm to 3:30 pm dancing in the Fitness Center to raide money for kids with cancer to go to Camp Good Days in New York. To be fair, I was supposed to be a volunteer..but they didn't need me after an hour so I joined in the party. I had an amazing time dancing like a fool, starting dance trends (we made a bridge) and the best part was it was for an amazing cause. It was a great night.

Day 42: The sweetest thing

Day 41: The un-sugary side of the Necco conversation heart.
Significant moment of the day: A Non-Valentines Day Valentines day package from home
Today, I received a package from home from my mom. It was very lovely containing brownies with cookie dough in them (fantastic btw), a lovely card, twenty bucks and.....necco conversation hearts. Aka, it must have been a Valentines day package. However, since I do not celebrate holidays sponsored by Hallmark, I made an effort not to look at any of the sugar dipped messages that proclaim phrases like "text me!". Therefore, the sweetheart candies would remain little candy hearts and nothing more than a sugary snack.
Sorry, Mom. But I did love the package!
The top 10 worst Necco heart messages.
Don't worry... there will be a rant about Valentines day. Just wait for Monday.
10. Nature Lover.
Well... that's nice. But did you really need to print that on a heart?
9. Bite me.
So apparently there are twilight Necco's now. This is a particularly worrisome one. But actually the most fitting considering it IS candy.
8. Fax me
Oh hey 1982... haven't seen you in a while...
7. Get my drift
First of all it's 'catch my drift'. Second...no.
6. Chill out.
Why is this a romantic conversation heart? If only my man would tell me chill out via candy heart on V-Day. swoon.
5. Homesick.
Once again... why is this one?
4. I hope.
For what?
3. And.
umm.........
2. Blank
because 'AND' took so much effort to come up with....
1. Do good.
No. This grammatically incorrect. I do not approve of candy that fails basic grammar. No wonder people think good and well are interchangeable words. Stupid Necco.
Useless...simply useless.

| If I ate every sugary candy that proposed to me..I'd be diabetic by now. Also if you think it's romantic to propose via candy, you best propose to Betty Crocker |
