Before this quarter I lived on a strict schedule that people who have to shove me off a cliff to try and change, but I've realized that I've become much more go-with-the-flow since I got back after break. I don't know if it's a mind thing or if it's just a natural progression of my character, but I have to say that I'm really starting to like it. It's really nice not to feel so uptight all the time, and I've found that people are more willing to want to do stuff with me when I'm more willing to go in the first place. Go figure.
On a different note, I stayed up until 4 AM to finish The Hunger Games trilogy last night and it was probably one of the more significant moments in my life. It was the first time since Deathly Hallows that I've cried myself to sleep with a book wrapped in my arms. I honestly feel like my best friend has left me because I don't have another one to sink my teeth into. I thought Harry Potter withdrawal was bad, but this is worse because I've already gone through and gotten over Harry Potter syndrome a long time ago.
If you've never read The Hunger Games and you're of a mature reading level, I highly suggest it. It's post-apocalypse and it's sort of like an Olympic games where the goal is for 24 kids to go into an arena with intent to be the last one standing... but it's so much more beautiful than I could even account for. And before anyone asks, I'm totally Team Peeta (though I was Team Gale for a majority of the first book, and I hate calling them Teams because it makes me think of Twilight and there isn't even a way to put those two books anywhere near the same category on any level).
Why today was awesome: I bought two new dresses, and I like them. I also ordered Chinese take-out for the first time this year.
