Je suis trés bein!

Okay, today was officially all kinds of kick ass! Yeah, I said it. It's soooo true though. (I understand I sound like a teenager, but, well, its been a pretty awesome day.)

  1. I woke up able to actually concentrate! I haven't been able to focus on anything at all yesterday or for the entire weekend. Managed to get my reading done!
  2. I get to do my Reading Women's Literature project on one of Ursula K. Le Guin's novels. *grin* Not only do I enjoy her work, but it is text I am familiar with so I'll actually have a clue what I'm talking about (for once in that class).
  3. In my French beginner level class the teacher invited me to attend the elementary level (next level up) class, so I will be attending Elementary French on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Beginner on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  4. The Gender Studies department is doing fee/transportation paid field trip to Vienna. (Vienna, deserves its own bullet point!)
  5. The field trip is to a FRIDA KAHLO exhibit!!! (I love her work. It will be amazing to see so much of it in person.)
Yeah, I'm kinda on cloud nine right now. Although thinking about Frida Kahlo always makes me think about Viva La Frida - a restaurant in Tampa that only survived a couple of years, but had amazing food while it was open. Their garlic potato chimichanga with tamarind sauce is on my list top ten of favorite dishes I've ever had in my life.

  1. SO jealous about the trip to Vienna. Or maybe envious is a better word...Just that you'll get to see all that lovely art 'tickles me pink', as your grandma used to say...
