DINNER {date}

So its been simply forever since I have written a word on this strange and creative thing called a "blog". I really hate that word by the way. It sounds like "blob" and reminds me of boogers, so I will call it something else (to be determined at a later date when a stroke of creative genius strikes).

I will not give a whole rundown of last quarter because it is simply too long to begin to even think about. Let's just say we both got good grades, had a wonderful thanksgiving in Oregon with my family, a relaxing Christmas with John's family, and were able to squeeze in an amazing getaway to the snow-covered Grand Canyon for two nights.

Note: There will probably be a future post on this "booger" about the grand time we had at the Grand Canyon, so stay tuned.

So John and I are going on a date night tonight to Cheesecake Factory (compliments of Christmas gifts) for a yummy dessert... err... I mean dinner, and then headed out to watch To Save a Life (also compliments of Christmas gifts).

Can I just say how much I LOVE date night? I mean, really who doesn't enjoy spending time with their sweetie? And trust me, John is such a sweetie, proof being that I get a scowl and a grumpy face if I let myself out of the car or open a door for myself. Where has chivalry gone these days?

John is currently trimming/shaving his manly beard right now, and will soon head off to the gym to get his lift on for the weekend before we head out to Fashion Valley at 8:00. While he is gone I am supposed to be working on my personal statement for graduate school, which really seems to have it in for me. Gosh, every time I sit down to write it I seem to be instantly tired, hungry, or interested in the news. The news? Yes, when it comes down to it, I am truly and irrevocably a procrastinator if I am interested in the news. I am fine when it comes to completing a History essay, but I really don't like writing a formal letter telling the Education Studies Department at UCSD why I am so amazing and deserve to be a part of of their program. It just seems so...self-centered? Egotistical? Whatever it is, I am finding it difficult to muster up the hubris to complete the darn thing. Ew, enough of school stuff. I want to concentrate on happy things like date night.


Hmmm, I wonder what type of cheesecake I will get? I might even look up the menu online before departing for our date (further proving my point that I will do anything to avoid writing my personal statement). Darn.
