sometimes when i wake up (especially after a night of great sleep) it's very easy to forget where i am. i was looking t the window and realized that the top of the fire escape that seems so far down from my room is the same ladder that seems so high up when i'm walking down the alley to park my bike. i'm living on the 9th floor of a high-rise in the heart of chicago, and it seems so amazing to me.
last night i went to a party & all of my friends dressed up. we had rosewater cupcakes and red wine and danced to a 50's love song playlist one of my friends had made. it was probably the most adorable and genuine moments i've had at school. it was such a great time. i'll post pictures when i get them, because i can't put most of them on facebook. (i can't wait until i'm 21 so all of my cute pictures can actually be seen by people who don't come into my room & look at the pictures by my desk.
anyways, today is a relaxation & production day. i have to make a presentation for my research class on tuesday, edit some typography for my type tech on tuesday & my typography class on wednesday, do some reading for fibers, typography, and art history, and get a head start on my art history essay that's due the first of march. i really think i'll be able to get most of it done today, and that's exciting to me. i also need to mail some stuff to my momma for valentine's day, so i've got to think of something to make her. maybe i'll bind her a book today.
i'm finding a way to be single here. did i wish that maybe something would develop between me & a friend who was at the party? yes. do i think it will happen? no. unfortunately there are a lot of people here who are incredibly difficult to read, and everyone is a little lonely. so it's hard to have expectations for anything. but i hope for new people to walk into my life every day, and for now i'm working on me.
