Thoughts on a Friday the 13th

1. As I write, I am currently holding my chemistry notebook in my hands for the studying I should be doing. Considering I have a test in 59 minutes, I would rather write. Hmmm, does that say much for my feelings about science? Oh Chemistry, How do I loathe thee... Let me count the ways...

2. Well, one for I don't understand it. Numbers swarm in my head and then when we have to figure out charges I still don't understand how if Flouride loses an electron it becomes positive?????

3. I'm going to quit counting, there's no reason to waste prefectly goof writing space on Chemistry.

4. It's raining again this morning. Quite appropriate for the day but I really wish it would stop. The flooding is getting ridiculous. Luckily, Terre Haute hasn't been quite as effected as say, Iowa, but we had some horrible flooding earlier in the

week. A good friend of mine got married on Saturday only to realize they lost their apartment that afternoon. I'm almost ready to start digging a hole in the ground so the water has somewhere to go.

5. Only 49 days, 16 hours, and 25 minutes until Breaking Dawn. I'm still dreaming about Edward but that could be because I'm starting to reread the series. This really is a love affair. I should probably tell Wayne. Sometimes I feel like I am Bella though. I'm clumsy, just like her, only I don't put myself in the hospital. I don't know how she is going to make the choice between Edward and Jacob. Granted she already did choose, but I just have this feeling... All I know is I'm having a hard time choosing. I mean, I am in love with Edward. He's a wonderful character and Jacob really got on my nerves through the first book, I didn't give him the time of day( which he deserved) in book two because I was so busy waiting for Edward to come back, but in book three, I fell in love. He got to me. Maybe it's because he never wears a shirt?? (And I vividly picture everything I read.) I can't wait though for the release, until then, I'll keep dreaming.

6. I'm finally getting back into my yoga practice. It's been on and off for the past two years but I've been reading about it a lot lately for my health class and I've decided it's definitely something I need to practice and dedicate myself to everyday. Considering how easily I stress alone I need to make the time for it. After a solid week of doing it, I'm feeling wonderful.

7. I suppose I should get back to my studying. Blah.
