Mac & cheese time!

My mommy sent macaroni and cheese so we took full advantage of it!

Those are not my glasses by the way--some taxi driver came and dropped them off because he thought they were ours but they were definitely not. We took one of the lenses out (they're super duper strong) and so I see because it's just about the perfect prescription for my left eye. Definitely don't think they do anything for me :P

Crystal light!

Mac & cheese & hot dogs. Yummmm..

Our choice of music.

We like to go crazy when we have the house to ourselves.

Our 'making dinner snack'

The finished product!

Sooo good!

The house was super duper cold that night if you're wondering why we're so bundled up.

A break from winter

Apparently there's a specific every winter that's abnormally warm. It didn't fail this year and we enjoyed it like crazy. It was a nice break from winter.\

Going on a walk

Seriously if you haven't read these before they're the funniest things ever. It keeps me laughing for EVER!

10) Drinking tons of tea

Rain

It's literally raining sideways. Looks like I won't be able to go outside and do all the things I planned to do today. Ha no that's a joke I had no plans. Who are we kidding I would be sitting inside on my computer if it was super nice outside too probably. I have nothing to do! I finished classes today...I have no money to spend...The only thing to do is pack (bleh) which I don't really want to start because most of my clothes are in the laundry. Also I'm lazy. But mostly the laundry thing. Get me out of this place! I need to go home to the summertime!

Swim

"Swim"

Jack's Mannequin

You've gotta swim

Swim for your life

Swim for the music

That saves you

When you're not so sure you'll survive

You gotta swim

And swim when it hurts

The whole world is watching

You haven't come this far

To fall off the earth

The currents will pull you

Away from your love

Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave

Begging to tear down the dawn

Memories like bullets

They fired at me from a gun

A crack in the armor

I swim to brighter days

Despite the absence of sun

Choking on salt water

I'm not giving in

I swim

You gotta swim

Through nights that won't end

Swim for your families

Your lovers your sisters

And brothers and friends

Yeah you've gotta swim

Through wars without cause

Swim for the lost politicians

Who don't see their greed as a flaw

The currents will pull us

Away from our love

Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave

Begging to tear down the dawn

Memories like bullets

They fired at me from a gun

Cracking me open now

I swim for brighter days

Despite the absence of sun

Choking on salt water

I'm not giving in

Well I'm not giving in

I swim

You gotta swim

Swim in the dark

There's no shame in drifting

Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark

Yeah you've gotta swim

Don't let yourself sink

Just find the horizon

I promise you it's not as far as you think

The currents will drag us away from our love

Just keep your head above

Just keep your head above

Swim

Just keep your head above

Swim, swim

Just keep your head above

Swim
