Xena

One of the most beautiful things that has happened in my life happened the other day. For the first time in a very long time (in fact I can't remember the last time) I woke up at a reasonable hour to the sound of thunder and rain on my window. It was -the best- way to wake up -ever-. Since then, the weather has been all over the place, and I can't wait for it to just be warm, breezy, and summer-like again, but I felt like I needed to record that experience. I don't think I'll ever forget squinting my eyes open up towards the dimly lit window and watching the huge raindrop press up against my window and streak its way down with the others.

This past week has been very relaxing for me and hectic at the same time. I started my summer class the other day, and I got my first car on Friday ^_^. It's an adorable 2003 Toyota Corolla LE, and since getting it I cannot tell you how many people have asked me if it has a name! I am still in the deliberation process about a name, but I am leaning towards Xena the Warrior Princess because of how non-warrior like the little thing is. Having this new freedom is an incredible blessing, and I am so happy to be able to provide things for others with this vehicle. I love to drive, and with a good CD blasting and my voice hurting from singing, I know that it is love.

I took some allergy medicine today, and I haven't sneezed since. Unfortunately, though, drowsiness is a serious side effect for me, I think, and with it comes a bit of emotional uncertainty. I know that I'm going to end up passing out for a looooong time, so hopefully I can muster up some motivation to get up and head over to the gym.
