"happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

today i woke up unsatisfied with my sleep. i had awoken a bunch of times throughout the night because it got so cold, but i was too lazy to shut my window. instead of going to the gym, i just slept for a bit longer and then rolled out of bed to go to staff meeting. i walked with danielle to brazil cafe on shattuck ave near university ave. i got the tuna sandwich with the fresh bread and topped it off with a mango smoothie. it was hella good (yeah, i said it). then i walked back up the hill and walked back down to meet katie and natalie at jupiter on shattuck off center street. we sat and talked a long while before katie hopped on the bart to meet her family, which natalie and i met telmo to lounge in the sun. we stopped by american apparel and jamba juice and yogurtland beforehand. at sproul hall, we sat in the lawn and chatted about spain, america, travel, etc etc. i thought it was funny whenever telmo didn't like something, he would say (pardon me), "it's shit." hehe. we trekked back up by 5:45 pm and met up with jess, chris and al to eat dinner. today, natalie and i split a veggie burger (hazelnut encrusted thingy), and i also had a huge greek salad the size of my face with some lentils. oh, and of course a blueberry crumble cake. plus half a root beer float. it was worth it, don't even worry about a thing. then i finished some dartmouth forms before going to check out game show night. i went to my room for a little and helped one of my students work out her work shop dilemma. i participated in "are you smarter then the asa staff?" and i got question about the first world cup year wrong (1930) but i got which book "happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." is from (anna karenina, tolstoy) right! i checked in katie's floor before checking in mine and handed out the weekend asa insider. did you know about the racially-charged murder on the bart system last year?
