japanese cherry blossoms and plastic forks

i could ramble about my day, but i suppose you are wondering what today's title means...here goes.
i never had a favorite scent as far as bath and body works type products...i mean i loved lovespell from victoria's secret back in the day, but other than that the tropical or sweet pea scents were just fine but nothing amazing. well for christmas i got from the francoms some bubble bath that was japanese cherry blossom- i am officially smitten. it is the most glorious smell in the whole world! i have slowly been transitioning to japanese cherry blossom products...first the bubble bath on occassion and then handsoap in the bathroom then body wash and hand sanitizer and i just got a refil for my wallflower...now our whole apartment smells heavenly! thank you francoms!
now, plastic forks. i went to cafe rio yesterday as i am not really that wild but wanted to do at least something to celebrate my last day of college classes...ever. (we'll get to that, don't worry) anywho, i always get a salad because they are so good and huge, even though i always want to try the shrimp tacos which are only available on certain days. so i order a salad and am so happy about it that i am smiling the whole way through the assembly line. i am so smiley that when i am paying the guy gives me a coupon thing for a free dessert next time...sometimes i don't mind being me :) so i get my salad and drive home and get in front of law and order and then am ready to dig in when i realize i did not get any utensils...a fault of my own, not the restaurant. i was a bit disappointed as i always claim that it tastes better with a plastic fork, but figure it isn't a big deal and eat it with one of our metal forks. okay, so i might have been making it up before just because i liked eating with disposable utensils because even though you weren't at cafe rio it still felt more like you were, but seriously now i know that a cafe rio salad really does taste better with a black plastic fork.
yes, yesterday was my last day of college classes- perhaps forever or at least until i decide when and where to go back. i am a bit sad that it is over...but i am not planning on leaving provo right away and thus i think i may be able to wean myself off this college experience that i have recently been so thoroughly enjoying. i figure, byu can't really make me not attend one of the huge lectures- they won't know i am in there and so i might just sneak in from time to time. and i will get to be one of the old alumni that comes to homecoming spectacular or concerts and remembers how it was when i was a student...ahhh. it will be great.
oh, so funny story. my friend called me yesterday to help her set up a quilt she is working on. i find it funny that she calls me since she graduated with a degree in essentially home ec, however i enjoy that stuff and was glad to go. i hadn't done it before myself, but i can figure things out :) anywho, so we are trying to make room for the tiny quilting frames in her tiny married student housing apartment and she starts to put away the ironing board and iron. then she says to me..."oh someday you can have an ironing board". perhaps you had to be there, but it was funny. i was just like, yea someday i guess- i mean i have one now but i know what she meant- someday i will be great and married and have my own domestic items that no one else will use that i will be able to keep just how i want. yea, i guess it sounds great- but i really enjoy living with my roommates right now!
i stayed up way too late last night, however amazingly i am not really all that tired. i only got about a little over three hours of sleep before i needed to wake up and take marae to the airport, but i am feeling great. i am going to go give a final to a couple students early and then i am going to come home and probably go to the gym and clean up a bit and perhaps even study. i am counting down until five pm which is when nicholas gets off work...i am excited to see him today :)
