I found this dress... on the David Bridal's website... and I had passed it several times... but decided to click on it to see if any girls had posted pictures of them in the dress because it often looks different on a real person... and a few girls had done that... and I absolutely love this dress. It is the first one I've seen a picture of that I can afford and that I can picture myself wearing. So I will definitely be trying that one on in a few weekend's time. I got really excited when I saw it. We'll see!!!

I'm trying to decipher why I'm feeling nervous right now, but I've been having trouble pinpointing it. I've been wondering if it's because the time is getting nearer, but I really don't think that's it. I'm more excited than anything. Prior to today, I think I was nervous because I'm not 100% sure what the work I'll be doing at Cambridge will be like. However, this morning I talked to John, my supervisor, on the phone and essentially we just chatted again about things I already knew, but it was good to actually hear them from a human, rather from an email. I feel good about it now. About going to England, I was also wondering if my nervousness was because of the flight--but up until I was wondering that, I had never before considered that I was nervous about it. Again, I get more excited than nervous about such things. I've also considered that it might be because I have this paper due tomorrow, but that can't possibly be it because it...

Grandma lived upstairs at our house with us, which was a full apartment. We were very close to her, especially my brother. She cared for us when our parents were working (we never had a babysitter), dropped us off at and picked us up from school (we never rode a school bus), and took us on adventures during the summer. She loved reading and gardening and birds. She was a very active grandma and we were lucky to have her. I have lots of...

Today's List (Day 2): Things I'm Good At I don't know why, but I've always been good at spelling. It just came natural for me. My mom always said it was because I sat and listened to my brother practice his spelling words when I was younger, but I'm just good at remembering how to spell anything after I've seen it once, including people's names. I think I've also always been decently talented at writing. I won a contest in 5th grade for some poems that I wrote (uh, yeah... pretty awesome!) and I've been encouraged by professors to pursue getting some work published. I also just enjoy it. :) Unfortunately I'm not creative enough to write my own poems or stories nowadays, though I wish I had a really good idea for a series of books so that I could make the big bucks off of writing like J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer. Mostly anything that requires coordination or athletic ability has always come natural for me, as wel...
