Between Clever Lines

Amazon has this nifty new toolbar that lets you add things from all over the web to your amazon.com wishlist.  First off, I think this is amazing, as I can finally legitimately add Ryan Gosling to my wishlist.  It does, however, make me drool every time I look at the site.  There are a lot of things to lust after, and I feel hopeful that I'm on Hannukah Harry's nice list.  Aside from world peace and chocolate that makes you lose weight, here's what's on my wishlist this year. Schrodinger's Kittens  by John Gribbin,  How to Teach Physics to Your Dog  by Chad Orzel, and  The Drunkard's Walk  by Leonard Mlodinow Despite recently becoming a humanities major, I still love science and mathematics.  I am especially geeky when it comes to physics.  Despite my less-than-stellar grade in the course in high school, it was one of the best classes I ever took, and I am still trying to teach myself quantum physics. Moleskine City Notebook: New York  and  Moleskine Music

My New Year's resolution is to take more pictures, specifically self portraits.  I want to take a self portrait every week for an entire year, one that I'm really proud of. They will probably all be better than this. Anyway, three of my best friends and I are already home from school, and our other best friend finished her last exam yesterday.  We decided to go get her and bring her home together.  It's a nearly two hour drive, though, so we had to amuse ourselves. Kaitlyn, upon entering the car, was immediately smothered in hugs. We haven't seen each other in a month, so it was a pretty emotional reunion. I got to see her dorm without the aid of Skype for the first time, which was awesome.  Kaitlyn reads this blog, and got inspired to do her own version of my wall decorations.  She also did some circles on her roommate's side of the room,  using some...*cough*... interesting  circles. At least her roommate can be safe and decorative!  After crowding in

I've been making paper snowflakes while I study, and most of them have hearts to match the hearts on the walls. This leaves me with piles and piles and piles of adorable little paper hearts without a home, and I can't bear to waste them. I got this adorable yarn on (where else) Etsy a few months ago, and I haven't had much to do with it,  so I attached the hearts to different lengths of string  and hung them over my pillow!  Aren't they cute? And the snowflakes look so pretty on our window.  (:  We haven't gotten any snow yet, so these will have to do for now.  I also put paper hearts on my friend Emily's wall today to de-stress after my chemistry final!  Isn't she the cutest? Emily's bed is right on the other side of the wall from mine, and we knock back and forth to each other.  We have a secret code. Did you ever have secret codes when you were little?  Do you have any now?  Tell me!

When I'm stressed (like I am right now for finals), I usually want to bake or make crafts.  From reading  Katie 's blog to de-stress, I've been dying to decorate my walls.  Unfortunately, my walls look like this: My roommate's walls, however, look like this: We've both been really stressed lately, so I wanted to do something that would make her smile.  I've had these magazines since I went home for Thanksgiving break, and I figured it was time to do something with them.  After about an hour of furious snipping, And pausing to sniff the perfume samples, I had a huge pile of scraps. But also, a huge pile of hearts!  I used sticky tack to stick the hearts to her wall, And made a pretty pattern! Now when she looks up from her bed, she'll have something pretty to look at and will remember how much I love her.  (:  I even had enough hearts left over to do the wall above my bed!  Now it'll always look like I'm dreaming of love.
