Happys and Sads, Part Sette



My favorite installment of the month. Part Sette.

Name: Elise Jordan
Program: MSc Global Health
Year: 1
Weeks completed: 26
Focus: Getting my thesis proposal submitted. Due...A long time ago.


Happys:
-Going to my first ever Duke-UNC game. In Cameron. And coming out victoriously.
-Remembering how much I love/miss throwing waffle parties.
-Nirupama thinking to bring GELATO to put on waffles. Brilliant!
-Dreaming about Nepal with Tulsi. And planning our summit of Everest.



-One of my friends seeing the huge picture of Audrey on my wall and asking, “Is that Elise?”
-Parker and Otis. Durham’s redeeming quality.
-Church and brunch dates with Paul and Peyton. Often at…Parker and Otis.
-Continuing Adam's Italian lessons for our honeymoon…he’s basically got the “Ti amo” and “Bellissima” down. We’re working on the rest.
-A few 70-something degree days.
-Milkshakes. Too many milkshakes.

-Nirumpama discovering this new show called "Portlandia" and getting me obsessed with watching clips online. It basically makes fun of all the stereotypes of green, grainy, Pacific North-Westerners. Here is my favorite clip. "Is it local?"
-An enormous calendar.
-Blogging more this month than ever before. And loving it more and more.
-Spending 3 weekends in a row in Charlottesville. (1 down, 2 to go).
-Chasing Chickens.
-Getting to stay with our friends Nick and Lindsay in their cute new home…and our Friday night by candlelight.
-Spending an afternoon with my dear friend Jenn Boggs and her precious family. (Two of whom are in my wedding!)

Love these two. Just love them.

-Same awesome friend Jenn offering to MAKE the Jr. Bridesmaids and Flower Girl dresses! She is so talented. Check out her Etsy shop here.
-Getting to see my first UVA baseball game of the season. Go Hoos.
-Taste-testing our wedding menu and wishing that we could get married every day.
-Adam deciding that my apartment needs to have sunflowers in it permanently. I really like the way he thinks.
-Spring Break next week = Outer Banks with two of my best friends. Nothing better.
-An amazing thunderstorm last night that made me ready for summer.
-Mamma is coming to town NEXT Thursday.
-The other day I hugged Adam and he told me: “You're always welcome in these parts.”
I love him.


Sads:
-I’ve almost cried twice this past week due to overwhelmedness with work. And I never cry.
-Spell check didn’t want me to use the word overwhelmedness.
-Currently spending the better part of two weeks away from Adam. Which was much easier when we were used to long distance…
-Virginia Tech…
-Too many warm days followed by freezing days that confuse my body and make my head hurt and my feet cold.
-My pearls that I have worn everyday of my life since High School broke. I don't even know what to do with myself. My friend Jenn (yep, same Jenn) is going to help fix them this weekend.
-STATA lab 2a. I don't want to know what 2b. holds.
-I haven’t changed my sheets in over a month…che schifo.
-My room is a mess.
-I think I’m over being a student. Or at least I’m over work. And stress.
-I broke the sacred “Letter Chain” and haven’t started it back up again. It’s going to happen soon. I promise!


Randoms:
-I cannot get pictures taken of me. I learned this while trying to get engagement photos made. Twice. I just get awkward and don’t know what to do with my face or hands or feet or hair. Good thing we have such talented photographers…
-I blog more when I'm busy and don't have time to, than when I’m free and have all the time in the world. It’s ironic.
-My toes are painted purple. I've never had purple toes before. I'm liking it.
-Isn’t it weird that we can say we’re UP or DOWN for something and it means the same thing?
-I realized that it’s pretty much guaranteed now that I will get married before my sister has babies. This is something I’ve always wondered about. But, we are less than 8 months away from W-day. Which is less than nine months. Although, there is always the possibility of a preemie, in which case my sister AND my father would be preoccupied for my wedding. Which would be cause for major bummerness.
-Spell check also didn’t like the word bummerness.
-I downloaded the most amazing “To-do List” application for my desktop. It kind of stresses me out, seeing everything right there on my screen. But it’s so fun to use that I purposely think of more and more things to put on it.

-It's another Sunny day in Durham. Hope the sun finds you today as well, wherever you may be! Happy first-day-of-the-month-in-which-Spring-begins!
