Why Study When The Skies Are Blue?

I am in the library right now.

I just can't seem to focus, and it might be due to the fact that it is relatively warm (you know, 45 degrees) and gorgeous outside. I'm hoping this shift in weather means that the snow will avoid us until next winter. I also think I'm hitting that extremely apathetic stage regarding school again. It happened when I was a senior in highschool and it's happening now in my senior year of college. Sometimes I just don't know how I will survive grad school, and my plan to go to grad school seems to change depending on the day. I need a break!

Luckily I will get my break in a few weeks when Mark and I go to Chicago for our makeshift spring break. Thank you Nate for getting married!! Which reminds me, I need to go shopping for some new outfits. It's really not a good thing that I am so compelled to go shopping every time I go on a trip somewhere. It really hit an all time low when I bought a whole new wardrobe to build houses in El Salvador last summer. Matching shirts and bandanas. Who does that?

We had our Oscars party last weekend and I was proud of Mark for attending and not being too intimidated by a room of gossipy girls drinking virgin cosmopolitans. The Oscar results weren't too surprising. I, of course, wanted Juno to win for everything, but knew that was a long shot. Why oh why does the Academy hate indie films so much? Why!? Daniel Day-Lewis won the Oscar for best actor, in There Will Be Blood, which really wasn't a surprise to anyone. He was a lunatic in that film -- really absurd. I can't wait until Shawn is home from his mission to watch this movie. He will love that character. I was thrown for a loop when the "foreign chick" won for best actress. I haven't even heard of the film -- or her for that matter. Couldn't we have given the award to Ellen Page or Cate Blanchett?
