I love my babicka.
Convo with my gramma: “Niky, a ses nejak zalaskovana?” No, trosku, jo. “No to trosku nebud.  Bud hodne zalaskovana!” [laughs] “A nemuzes o tom moc myslet protoze pak to je za nic.” [and the wheels start turning in my head..] No, mas pravdu. “Ja jsem se taky zamilovala z blbosti.  Musis do toho skocit … a vsechno se samo povede.” Her...

Roaaaadtrip.
Finally touched down.  Some points and interesting/random tidbits from the drive: Day 1 Whitestown & Brownsburg, IN -> ”WITE POWER” written on the toilet paper cover in my bathroom stall :(  Bah. First time at Cracker Barrel — Yum! Everything so far looks remarkably similar to IL.  Don’t feel like we’re going anywhere. Spent the night in TN right next door...

Down and Up
Had one of the saddest conversations of my life earlier.. I couldn’t get a hold of my aunt while I was still at school, but I finally spoke with her today.  Broke my heart to bits.  We just cried and cried, well, me more than her - she’s so incredibly strong, I don’t know how she does it.. but every time I heard her choke up a little I started bawling.  Horrible..  I wish I could...

A Note
Life is the only way to get covered in leaves, catch your breath on sand, rise on wings; to be a dog, or stroke its warm fur; to tell pain from everything it’s not; to squeeze inside events, dawdle in views, to seek the least of all possible mistakes; An extraordinary chance  to remember for a moment a conversation held with the lamp switched off; and if only once  to stumble on a stone, end...

Yay!
Just spent a couple hours at Starbucks with my friend.  We’ve been trying to get together for weeks haha, finally succeeded!  Back to packing/studying/slicing and dicing fruits and veggies.  So close!

YESSSSSSSSS
My lens sold!!! And for more than it originally sold for. Thank you thank you thank you thank you lens-buyer. Absolutely made my morning. That pays for well over 2/3 of my ski pass. I can breathe a little easier (: Off to study in a coffee-scented, Christmas-music-playing place. The bucks of star. Yummm

Success
I have now super-glued every broken thing I own.. Moon Boots, goggles, and my beloved Zion NP necklace.  The boots will probably need additional reinforcement.. trying to decide what I’m going to do about that.  Anyway, as of now, I’m all patched up! :D

Wished for a text, and for once it came.  Amazing.  I wish this happened more often.

Baaaaah
Desperately trying to find a sick Nikita hoodie online that I saw in a store earlier.  I’ve found everything BUT that hoodie!  Gah! In the meantime, these are pretty sweet, too.. That reminds me.. I also spotted someone in an amazing Coogi hoodie last week that I can’t find if my life depended on it.  It looked a lot like the black Volcom one, except it had neon squares all...
