8 things I did yesterday:
Skip economics to study for Anatomy and Physiology
Work my butt off at the gym because the new cocktail of pills I am on is making me fat
Take my Anatomy test (I got an A so that justifies missing a class to study)
Process my film for my final Photography project
Come to the realization that I am going to have to shoot more film
Go to the dentist (Boo)
Half watch House/ half write my Economics paper that is due tomorrow
Take my super cute puppy for a much needed walk

8 things to look forward to:
Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
Thanksgiving break- no school for a whole week- hooray
My mom and my sisters coming for thanksgiving
Twilight tomorrow night at midnight!
The Forgotten Carols Friday night
December 20Th- my best friends wedding- and the reason I need to not get too fat
Christmas- which really means no school!
Nate getting a permanent job
(is it telling that this was the easiest section to write?  Perhaps I should live in the moment more)

8 favorite restaurants
Rice in London (sad since I don't live there anymore and it's my favorite)
Cafe Rio (unfortunate since they don't have one in Idaho where I currently live)
Matta's (depressing since they closed a few months ago, the end of an era)
Harvest Restaurant (also only in Utah)
Bonefish grill (hooray they have one in Boise!)
Flatbread
TJ's Burgers
Grechenbiesel

8 things on my wish list:
get out of debt
graduate college
divine inspiration on what I should do with my life
my puppy to never pee/poo on my carpet again
four extra hours in the day in which I get to see my husband
that fancy high paying job in DC
an upswing in the economy so my husband can get that fancy high paying job in DC
absolute foresight

Since I don't even think 8 people read my blog (so sad for me) I'm not going to tag anyone.  Do it if you want to and then let me know so I can read it!

New President

I voted in my second presidential election yesterday.  Nate and I went down to our polling place (because you don't have an excuse to leave work/school early or get a sticker if you vote absentee).  I won't tell you who I voted for but I will tell you that the state of Idaho did not validate my choice.  Afterwards I had "The Buyers Remorse".  I suppose I should have worked that all out before I voted but I'm sure the feeling is only temporary.  Unlike all those folks on the news I am going to keep an open mind and see how things go.  I guess you could say that I am choosing to hope.  I know, cheesy.  

On a related note, Bowie, our dog, seems to love the sound of Obama's voice.  I watched his speech today on tivo and Bowie sat very attentive until it was over.  Maybe he is a good judge of character.  I knew he was smart when I picked him... Bowie, not Obama.  We shall see...
