no. 24

So the highlight of my day yesterday was getting a working fridge in my apartment. You have no idea how happy it made me. Hahah. That's so pathetic sounding... a fridge that does its job makes me extremely happy. Oh well, I got to enjoy a glass of cold wine in my apartment for the first time in 4 months. Woop woop.
Either way, I'm writing this while finishing my tea. I am going to do a quick clean of my apartment and then head to the family's house.
It's crazy to think that I'm going to be 20 on Monday. It doesn't really feel like it's going to be my birthday. It really snuck up on me this time. I kind of forgot about it until a few weeks ago. I'm really excited to go out in Geneva and in Lyon this weekend. It'll be really fun to have everyone together again.
I'm extremely excited for my mom to come visit me in less than two weeks. I can't wait. I miss her a lot. It'll be really nice to chat like we always do. Plus, it'll be hilarious going on that bike tour in Tuscany. Speaking of, I seriously need to get my camera fixed. (Writing that in my Moleskine planner now...)
Anyway, I am sending in my absentee ballot thing next week Tuesday probably. I'm also going to send out yet another flock of postcards, Micaela's package, and probably some chocolate and a postcard to Jacob. Michaela already got her postcard so I'm expecting Patzke and Eron to get theirs soon too. I should practice how to speak in French when I'm at the poste. Oh, and that reminds me that I start classes November 10th. I am really pumped for those. I want to be fluent like ASAP. I decided the other day that when I get older and if I have kids, they're all going to be bilingual. I am going to speak French with them and they have to speak French with me. Then when they're in high school or middle school or something, they can learn another language if they want. It'll be really good for them just in general and also they'll be able to learn other latin-based languages a lot easier.
Anyway, time to vaccuum.
PS: Kings of Leon's "Aha Shake Heartbreak" album is down right amazing. It never gets old, ever.
