I didn't get a lot of sleep last night ... which kind of sucks. However, the things I learned from such a long conversation will improve our relationship tremendously in the long run. For instance, we learned that we don't necessarily have to finish every conversation about stupid things and that sometimes it makes more sense to just go to bed and let things rest and wake up in the morning and see if we still think those same things are as important (read: RIDICULOUS.. lol) as they were the night before. Otherwise, we end up going around in circles for hours and never really accomplishing anything ... keeping us both from sleeping and causing more frustration that it is ever really worth. And, as Brandon pointed out, this does not mean we don't love each other.
Man oh man, I adore him. 
The stupidest part is that we weren't fighting even. So it was an issue of going to bed angry. lol We were just having this talk ... and I don't really even know what it was about or how it got started. Oy. Sometimes I wonder.. lol
But I'm glad we learning things last night. And I'm glad that we love each other enough to understand that we're not always going to understand exactly what the other person is saying ... and that the only way to keep tensions down is to ASK. Communication is key and we've been working on it a lot over the course of our relationship and it has made us better people. It has made us a better couple.
In other news, I am desperately NOT wanting to write this paper. It's about Spanish Speaking At Risk Students in the US ... well, actually, that's the title. lol Except I didn't know it was the title until it was typed with capital letters in this blog ... then it became the title. Oy. lol Oh well, as has been (wisely) said ...

Here's a blessing in disguise for you ... we only had a week to write this research essay, right? Partly because the class is only 3 1/2 weeks long, but also, I imagine, because Joyce knew that we would all write the essay the night before anyway. Even if we had all three weeks to write it ... we would still wait until the night before. lol
Maybe that's my problem. Maybe since it's the afternoon before, I just can't do it.
Apparently I work well under pressure. 
Jenny says there's a crepe shop around here somewhere. I think I'm going to make her go tomorrow. They have nutella crepes, which is the main reason we want to go. 
I've started going to the gym this week -- it feels good.
Exercise is a good thing.
So is vitamin C. lol
Speaking of which, I need to take my double dose for today. I'm trying really hard not to get sick ... because I've had the feeling like I'm going to the last few days (since Wednesday). But it is imperative that, in this very intensive and busy month, I don't get sick.
Alright, enough is enough.
This paper needs to be written.
¡Adios!
