Happy Day!!!

Apparently, I’m so freakishly happy that I frightened my lab partner, Chris, when I came into lab this morning.

“You seem happy. Well, happier than normal. Which is saying something.”

I smiled at Chris, my creepy I’m-so-f’n-happy-that-I’m-in-heaven smile which I think just freaked him out even more.

“My brother got into Mary Washington!!!!!”

SMILE.SMILE.SMILE.SMILE.

I’m so excited that I feel like doing cartwheels down the hallways and singing at the top of my voice, all while doing a happy dance and squealing like a little girl-pig hybrid.

What can I say? It’s a happy happy day :D
And not only today… Life has been so good to me lately.

For example, the past few runs I’ve been on in preparation for this weekend’s half marathon have been EPIC.

Last week I was running on the path by the Rappohannock river in Fredericksburg, and while I was out I saw this GIANT great blue heron. I got really close to it—like four feet away—before it flew off. It had the largest wingspan ever. And then, on the way back, I heard this crying sound, so I looked up and there were TWO FREAKIN EAGLES.

DOUBLE EAGLES ALL THE WAY.

Like, right above me. Like, I could see their bald heads. They were being all cute and circling each other and doing their little mate calls. Then one would land in the tree and the other would do swoops and dives and it was simply marvelous, darling. I think ive only seen one other wild eagle in my life, and that was from far away while out West with my family. So this was, like,

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Mind blown.

And then, when I went home and ran on my Accotink trail, there was a GIANT owl who was just chillen in the top of a pine tree, hooting away. And there was a reply, and they were just chattin it up, being all cute and owl-y.

Sigh. Nature just blows my mind.

I’m so in love with nature and sciences. I’ve decided I’m going to do the Environmental Sustainability minor, but right now I’m so sick of my English classes that I’m considering just doing an Environmental Science Major.

I’ve always loved the sciences, but I’ve always had this vain dream of become a famous writer, which would (perhaps?) require an English degree.

I’ve redone my Twitter account, just to appease Eric. I got a few texts from friends yesterday who think I’m psycho.. I feel like Twitter is a very dangerous thing for me, because random thoughts just shoot through my head like arrows, and I feel the need to blurt it out, and I’m used to repressing these urges to scream “I LOVE HONEYSYCLE BODY WASH!!”, but since Twitter is pretty much the most available random thought processor, I’m thinking that I might just have to share every random thought that comes through my head.

Last night, I could sleep (which is very odd, because I’m normally capable of passing out on a dime. Not literally. I’ve actually never tried it, I might try that tonight), so I started thinking about how epic this summer is going to be. I’m going to be hiking with my BFF, and then I thought of alternative meanings of Bff. Like Buffalo Flightless Flamingo. And then I REALLY couldn’t sleep, because the image of the Buffalo flightless flamingo just cracked me up. Like, picture a buffalo… whose pink… who stands on his hind legs all the time…except when it pulls one leg up and nestles it inside of it’s flightless wings…

teeheehee.
