not the best entry ever but we've gotta publish.

there's a certain kind of pain that can numb you
there's a type of freedom that can tie you down
sometimes the unexplained can define you
sometimes silence is the only sound
(nickel creek)

i waited until february 14, 2006 to check the grade i got in my poli sci capstone class. i was scared. i wanted an A-, expected a B+, wouldn't have been surprised over a B, and feared something lower. well let's just say that i got what i wanted. yay.

i don't think i have bought anything that has made me happier than my iPod. music just does something. i'm listening to nickel creek right now. hence above lyrics. i didn't write those this time. i want to sing along but that means more people staring at the american.

i want to go to russia. italy's that much closer, right?

feeling unfocused. does that mean i'm hungry?

i'm going to carnevale next week in venezia. i've never seen venice. i'm going with a friend from BYU. we took italian 101 and 102 together. will be fun to see him. except i need a costume.

new favorite quote from shawna: "i'm not mocking you. i love you."

i got my first "stipendio" or paycheck yesterday. paying rent and phone is not fun. € 500 and about a fourth of it left.

i'm bored. more later.
