Omg I am a hundred times happier today and I think it is because I just realized it is 830 pm and I haven't spoken all day

I feel way better today than I have in a long time- I got so much done! I woke up to an adorably sweet message from Javon. I had told her I was going to have to promote her to best friend since erika is moving to Nashville like, when I get home. She wrote back talking about how she was already in the process of like looking at tickets with her family and trying to come here. I am feeling very weird about my friends, and about the lack of social connections that exist outside of college. My mom always warned me that you have to date a lot of people in college becuase outside of college it is really hard to meet people, but I like really feel like its harder to meet friends than boyfriends any day. I am so happy with John and I am so excited about our plans for the future but it makes me worry about keeping my friendships a priority becuase for the first time in my life they are what is really more tenuous. Javon was talking too about how she has not really been bonding with people in her groups at school. Its just weird how she and I met and were bff like 10 minutes later but here it has taken more than  month to get less than half as comfortable as we are together. John says that all I have to do is make the choices that are right for me and that will put me in contact with people I have more in common with and naturally it will be easier to make friends with them. Maybe. So, it will be fantastic if she comes. My cousin Samantha is going to come too now! In may for her birthday and graduation. We are going to go to London together. I think this is going to affect my plans to go to spain except like maybe for a weekend but whatever. I feel so *blessed* that everyone is going to come. 

       Amine and his new girlfriend came to visit this week! She is a saint, and adorable. She has a little girl. I think, or maybe a little boy, what a big change for amine after dating kate. Kate is one of my friends from camp who dated amine for a while. So even though this girl was like hanging out with her boyfriends exgirlfriends friend she was like awesome and bought me hot chocolate and was just such a grownup about the whole thing. She invited me to come stay at her house in Arles and Montpelier with her and amine and her son/daughter for the first few days of spring break and I really hope I can get it worked out! The second day they were here we just actually couldn't meet up with cell phones and maps it was too confusing and I was so tired and carrying like 500 lbs of coursepack, but it ended up being okay. It was just so nice to have them here.

       This week also welcomed....Rachel Shelley/Helena Peabody from the L-word! I went over to the FNAC she was visiting today. I couldn't find the venue though for the longest time. Evidently though when french people want to say the basement they say it is the negative first floor like it goes -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...etc. So  by the time I got there is was PACKED. She didn't speak french at all but kept trying it was adorable. I guess they are going to make a the L-word movie!!! 

      After that I went and found the train station that all my trains are leaving from, and did all of my readings for almost the next two weeks so I can focus on this big project I have coming up, and went to the train station from the airport so I could give samantha and alisha and john and maybe javon like super specific instructions. I tried to take pictures for the object project but it was HAILING. So I'm just going to go before knitting this week, I haven't been in two weeks because it was canelled the week before last and then this week I was too busy studying for my test, hanging out with amine, and watching the l- word to go. I don't know it doesn't seem like that much I guess but I feel like I am in so much better shape now. Tomorrow I want to go buy sketch indian food from the market that comes near my house. 

     So nowww I am going to delightedly stay in and write cover letters all night. I'm serious, I'm like really excited to get them done so that I can hopefully send them all out by monday??? monday morning perhaps? and then focus on finishing up my powerpoint/starting my outline tomorrow.
