work

i've been at it for about pretty much all morning and afternoon and all day for this art history research paper. starbucks helped a little. i finally got somewhat of a legitimate outline there before leaving. tonight, me and juan rented the zipcar for an hour just to go to target, trader joes, and mvp's for groceries and dinner. i picked up a thai panang curry and rice microwavable meal from trader joes along with some multi-grain pita chips, persimmons, kiwi fruits, and grapefruit juice. at target, we got mouthwash for us and one of those small three layer plastic draws for about $11 for juan-to hold his undershirts and what not. i think it was time that we took his stuff out of that big plastic bin of mine that we call his litter box. it's not fair that he has to pile up everything and not have better organizers. since we had the car tonight, it saved us a trip to walking back in the cold and dark. we got into an argument tonight about him not listening to me when i was rambling on about something. it was a small little thing, but it turned into something rather large. both parties ended up apologizing as usual. relationships confuse me sometimes. it makes me wonder why i keep wondering, if not the same, then other certain things; simultaneously, it keeps me feeling like i'm doing just fine. i've always had trouble balancing things out in my life, let alone my relationships. this is nothing new. 10 more days to go until we're all free from the fall semester. winter session starts for me real soon, however. really trying to stay strong and positive.

you know, i just want to use my map messenger bag to go out. i want to thrift new sweaters for the now chillier weather and find cute vintage-colored furniture for my room. i want to invest in an extra $20 desk at ikea to put next to my current one for juan to study. so he doesn't have to lay his stuff out on the bed or couch or dining table.
