BRRRR!!!

WOW...Logan is so freaking cold. Seriously. And even though it is like 3 degress outside (no joke), I have to sleep with my window open every night because the roomies insist on having the heater on ALL THE TIME. That's ok, I love them anyway.

School has started...once again. And besides having to get up ridiculously early every morning (ok, it's really not THAT early), and having to walk to school in the FRIGID winter, I am actually enjoying the semester. Weird, right? I sure am glad that I didn't change my major from Marketing...I actually like it now. My classes are fun, for the most part anyway. I do have a crap load of group projects, which I don't love. On the + side...I got a 91% on my first test. GO ME!

Random thoughts of mine...

*Mamma Mia...never gets old. I could seriously watch it everyday and not get sick of it. And my love for Colin Firth grows everytime I see it.

*Retainers are overrated...I hate wearing mine. And yet, I do. Like three times a week. I am basically awesome.

*Walking in this dang inversion is the WORST. By the time I get to school, I am practically wheezing. People probably think I am so out of shape...but I'm not.

*Welcome back to The Bachelor AND American Idol...I love reality TV!

*And for the most important of all...I have the CUTEST nephew and niece in the whole world. There is just no competition. Sorry if you thought that you did...but you're wrong.

Aren't they freaking adorable?!

Well...that is all. Unless someone can help me find a job in Logan. Seriously...I am getting desperate. And I don't like it.

PRIDE and PREJUDICE

I have been absolutely OBSESSED with Pride and Prejudice this last month. Jane Austen is a GENIUS. Seriously. There has never bee a book that has tugged on my heart strings more (well, except maybe Twilight). Mr. Darcy has got to be the most loving character ever. The love that he feels for Elizabeth Bennett is so beautiful and real and deep...AAH, I just can't get enough of it! Yes, I am aware that it is just a book. Elizabeth's character and wit makes the book SO enjoyable to read. Oh, I just LOVE IT!

For your enjoyment, here are some of my favorite quotes from the book...

*It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

*Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance...it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.

*I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow.

*Those who do not complain are never pitied.

*Stupid men are the only ones oth knowing after all.

*In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings for you will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

*She was convinced that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they should meet.

*...but to her own more extensive information, he was the person to whom the whole family were indebted for the first of benefits, and whom she regarded herself with an interest, if not quite so tender, at least as reasonable and just, as what Jane felt for Bingley.

*If you will thank me, let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to other inducements which led me on, I shall not tempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you.

*You must learn some of my philosophy. Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.

*I do, I do like him. I love him. Indeed he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. You do not know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in such terms.

I honestly cannot get enough of this story...the book and the A&E Pride and Prejudice television movie. Oh, it is AMAZING! I have never seen a movie that is based on a book that sticks so well to the story. Yes, it is 5 hours long (and yes, I did watch it twice in one weekend), but i would recommend it to anyone and everyone! If you want someone to watch it with, you know who it call! =)
