February 14

Today was a very unproductive day for everyone in my apartment. Most of them did not get out of bed until 1 in the afternoon and when they did, they never really left the apartment. I actually got up around 10:30, put on my running clothes, looked at myself in the mirror and then decided against running. I haven't decided if it was because I didn't feel like running today, or if I was just sick of wearing those clothes. I went for a nice long walk around town instead. I actually walked down a bunch of back roads on the outskirts of the city-city and found my way home, I was super impressed with myself. On my way out Rocio told me that I had a package at Garnet, which was weird, because normally we get e-mails, but I swung by on my way back to Gold. Jacob actually sent me roses, with a note and a cheesy stuffed animal for Valentine's Day and I was very surprised. Carlos was the one to hand them to me and he just shrugged his shoulders like, "I dunno, but they're yours." Rocio was super excited when I walked back into Gold because she knew what was at Garnet for me and she just though it was the cutest thing ever. She's adorable.

I had to makeshift a vase, because what college student has a vase handy? So I used a wine bottle...I think it really adds pzazz to our apartment. Oooooh, and I got an ensaimada from my favorite bakery here, because it's Valentine's Day, so I can spoil myself. Also, Sammy, an FYA, went around placing Valentine's for the other FYA's on the doors.

Besides all this fun I, like everyone else, haven't done much. I struggled to get out a 1,000 word, research essay, but it was great when I realized I didn't have any math homework due for tomorrow. We basically had a homework party in my apartment today, not a whole lot got done, but we were at least all putting in the effort to pretend we were trying.
