- editing nonstop for the first day of the year
- sending James the first 20k of my manuscript
- "you did it. you shipped."
- waking up, looking out the window, and seeing snow everywhere
- coffee & Dutch baby smothered with powdered sugar and maple syrup
- running outside to play in the snow, snowball fight with Z
- rolling down a tiny but very snowy hill
- fireside, hot coffee, preparing for class tomorrow
- going to Powell's with Z
- homework for daaays
- Portland with Heather & Z
- hiking up a half-frozen Multnomah Falls, slipping around on ice-covered bridges & paths
- Powell's again, this time with Heather
- rock climbing gym, trying the auto belay and loving the sensation of suddenly falling 30 ft down
- 2-day math bender
- getting a ridiculous amount of online class work and tests done in 12 hours
- exhaustion, spending the day taking it easy with Z
- math all day with the Arctic Monkeys discography
- talking to James, being infinitely thankful for our friendship & candidness
- writing more of my novel
- getting a giant care package from my mother: a sweater, socks, hot cocoa, 2 boxes of tea, post-it notes, a campy robot papercraft kit, mac & cheese
- feeling my heart pulling toward you always
- "i have 50 drafts of unfinished poems about how much i miss you"
- immersing myself in homework to avoid dwelling on this constant longing
- baking cinnamon raisin bread on a whim
- and making French toast with it the next morning
- staying out until 3am talking to fascinating people I'd just met
- seeing the rocket club's room for the first time, rocket parts being scattered everywhere
- more homework
- even more homework
- watching 30 Rock with Z all night
- getting all of my economics work done
