january!

happy new years! this is my third year of sleeping right through it. sorry i just don't like fireworks

i did actually have a really peaceful december 31st, my gummy made me really crave rereading my year of rest & relaxation but like many of my favorite novels i have lent them to friends that i no longer know and therefore i had to find a free audiobook. this led me to an incomplete soundcloud recording that was seemingly a teenage girl practicing reading aloud. it was awesome and then i woke up and it was 2026. i spent some time thinking about really good resolutions and this year is going to be awesome just like last year and the year before that. the first of my new year accomplishments was becoming a hairdresser. as pictured, i first braided zach's hair and we realized how long it had gotten and then he entered the salon and i made it even more beautiful! i really have a future here guys.

the rest of break was pretty great, props to the people who break up college like this because i really needed it. as you will read it kinda didn't end here but we did say goodbye to lucas. we watched some great movies & it was so much epic jenkintown time but then i was back at school for training. hello #martysupreme second viewing with my awesome rha friends.

then the semester began, and that was a fun five days, we had our trivia night which was actually really epic and then after such a fun intro week i decided to pour myself a glass of wine and perhaps i got a little tipsy on my friday evening. this made me all the more excited for zach to come over, but he had said he had a stomach ache so with caution he arrived and slowly an innocent night turned into the appendicitis saga. at roughly 3am we entered an uber to the nearest ER which i did not know carried such a poor reputation but we quickly found out it was well earned. it was cold and we were so so tired and we still had no idea what was wrong then but by the morning after his parents picked us up and let us sleep we were back at another hospital with an official diagnosis.

the rest of that week was a blur since we had crazy snow strom that week which further delayed me from taking the start of the semester seriously. see our masterpieces here . but we celebrated our one year at home with a frank lloyd wright puzzle and some chinese takeout. perfect kinda day for me and easy on the appendix patient. then just a few days later it was zach's birthday. such an attention seeker this month am i right? anyways we abridged the original celebration and just had his friends come over and had a little movie night. shoutout cailyn and amazon for the appendix themed decor and jello shots. the rest of that week was snow and human robot and laying around.

like imagine this is your uber driver. not even slightly concerned with our destination but he did get us there safely. anyways zach was a great sport. loved that cafeteria and he was out of surgery and home by sunday morning!
