Dear Diary,
Spring is SO here. It is so beautiful. I love it. It started smelling really good outside. Cherry blossoms. a little bit of heaven.
Today brought bad news at the eye doctor. two more weeks in the old glasses until my prescription stablizes and i can get contacts and or new glasses. So then i thought, "well, this is rough, but at least i can ask one of those glasses technicians to un-crookify my old lame glasses. And i wasn't expecting much. but then the technician was SO nice. his name was patrick. I had no idea how badly they fit me until he brought them back and they were sparkling and like the day i got them in 7th grade. Amazing. Patrick made my day today. Some might spill over into tomarrow too.
I did my seasonal work out routine today. That's about how often i work out. Four times a year or so. I benched pressed for the first time. 45 pounds. I haven't gotten to add any weights yet. That was just the bar alone. But i think i handled it pretty well. I think it would be cool to be a big football player guy and go to the gym and bench two hundred pounds and have everyone be like "whoa you're so strong" Maybe one of these days. I might have to up the amount i go to work out though if i want that to happen.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I have been terrifically uninspired in the website section of my life lately.
But I told a really funny joke today. I was talking to this kid from colorado. I asked, "so are there any nicknames for colorado, used by coloradoans, like "rado" or something?" And he's like, no. and then he wants to know if there are any nicknames for washington used by washingtonians. And i think about this for a little bit and then i'm like. yeah. "tony."
This is the best kind of joke to retell. because the tremendous humor doesn't translate at all past the moment it was said, and when people don't get it and i try to explain why it was funny, it just makes it that much less funny. Maybe I should work on developing my serious side, since my humorous one is failing me miserably.
I went to my first LC baseball game today. My observations were as follows; our outfits are ugly, and all that grass just makes me think about golf. I enjoyed the yearbook thing that they made available to the fans, that says everyone's height and weight and stuff. Foul balls made me fear for my life, and I was impressed that they used a real scoreboard like in the big leagues. I think they use those for kindergarteners too, but I still thought it was cool.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
It wouldn't be copeland hall if there were not regular fire drills right when everyone is trying to go to bed. I know of no other dorm where this happens. this is what makes copeland unique. that and the fact that monica lewinsky lived here.
I decided that this summer i need to go to guatemala and volunteer or go to ecuador and attend a language school or something. I really don't know how well i would do in Seattle, just hanging out and working. sorry mom and dad.
Love,
Diana
