update
many things have happened in my life recently. namely...
i cut my bangs.
well in actuality, my sister cut them. thats right, the sister that is in no way a hairstylist and in every way impulsive and fantastic. nutshell version: we got bored. we saw scissors. we chopped off five inches. welcome to life in our apartment!
i discovered toffee nut cookies.
if you are in the vicinity of a panera bread right now, i command you as king of the britains (monty python holy grail, come on get with it..) to drop what youre holding even if its expensive and walk, nay, sprint to that bakery and buy seven toffee nut cookies. you will not regret it even though your thighs might. its a buttery, sweet, crunchy, nutty preview of the cookie jesus serves in heaven. hooohh mhyy ghoooohd...
ive become engrossed in politically-charged books.
this all started when mary beth and i watched an three-part interview that showcased bill clinton stomping on fox news correspondent chris wallace's face to which chris then repeatedly thanked him and begged for more. in this interview, will j fought back when chris accused him of not doing enough in the fight against osama while thoroughly endorsing a book by richard a. clarke entitled against all enemies: inside americas war on terror. so of course being the political junkie that i am and informed citizen that i strive to be, i immediately went to the norman library and got the book. but just like a morbidly obese child in a store full of chocolate, i got more than i originally wanted. except i didnt get diabetes, i got more books. they include hubris: the inside story of spin, scandal and the selling of the iraq war and speechless: tales of a white house survivor. the aftermath of the aforementioned library visit has resulted in a nose-in-book phenomenon reminiscent of belle in the opening scene of BATB. these books are amazing, eye-opening and full of inside secrets and knowledge about the wars that we are currently funneling trillions of dollars into. if you want to know more about the backstory of this pivotal moment in history that were currently involved in, i highly suggest that after you make your toffee-nut run, you book it to the library. (see what i did there?)
i also bought a new flavor of coffee. it tastes like columbian feet.

midterms
its here.
the dreaded exams that make every college student quiver in their sweatpants and cry into their coffee.
midterms.
in preparation for the tests, ive embodied hermione this entire week. instead of reading my john grisham on work breaks, ive studied notecards. instead of taking my daily naps, ive been hunched over the dining room table reading textbooks and listening to npr. (even though the npr wont help me with my geography test, i just think its nice to be informed about the world..)
thankfully, one is done. i stomped my geography test to the ground in ten minutes. now i just have to kick my modern western civ tests ass back into the 1500s and the glorious week of spring break will commence. (cue singing angels.) one week of relaxing, reading, hiking and living like a homeless person (camping) sounds like better than heaven, nirvana and chocolate combined..
only three more hours of quivering and crying until...
"freeedooooooomm!"
thanks william wallace.

power of the positive
heres a list of reasons why today freaking rocks already.
i actually woke up on time. this might not sound awesome, but sightings of sober leprechauns happen more often than this.
i woke up to the sweet sweet sound of billy joels voice. thanks cd alarm clock.
i had a breakfast of irish tea and pomegranate jelly toast. both delicacies in the coughlin household. and if you havent had either, i cry for you.
im listening to national public radio. i know this makes me sound like a 60 year old, but thats because i am. ive grown to accept that.
i dont have any tests today. that i know of.
my hair looks remarkably good for the morning. again with the sober leprechaun sightings..
the bachelor is on tonight. i give you full permission to judge me. .
the daily show is on tonight. if you judge me on this, dont talk to me
the colbert report is on tonight. ^ applies on this one too.
and the number one reason why today freaking rocks is....
because i said it does.
POWER OF THE POSITIVE BABYYY!
