winnie the pooh would call it a "very blustery day"

So go figure i am coffee shop hoppin again and in need to finish this clinical paper i am supposedly going to finish this evening?! hmm... priority is just not there at this point. However, I am sitting at starbucks watching the trees basically bend backwards to touch the ground because the wind pressure is that of a hurricane and breaking multiple wisconsin records. kind of enlightening.

Every time i sit around the smell of espresso i am reminded of some of my fondest moments and best people watching moments. The atmosphere at places like this is just unbeatable. I am currently across the way from two british people talking. I wish i had a sweet accent like that. One day at caribou, one of the GE engineers came in (they are all from england mostly!) and i was telling him that i wish i talked like he did and he returned a "no you don't" (except british sounding, which i cannot phonetically spell at this moment). Oh how that would be cool.

I am rather excited for the weekend though. I have always said i would do madison at some point in my college career for halloween and i guess its finally going to happen- with some of my fave people on this planet. And i guess Joey and i are going as "zombie ninja's." Sounded fun to be, plus it does not involve spending money. it shall be an experience in itself. Then sunday will be at the broski's house for some noon packer action. hopefully it turns out as blissful as it sounds at this point.

I've been thinking a lot about graduation lately.  We have advising these next two weeks and i just can't believe its my last semester to do so already. wild. So much has changed in the last 4 years, like more so that most people will experience in their first 50 years on this planet.  I have truly learned to take on adversity head on and rock the magic the best way i can: by keeping on and being an extreme optimist. I dont how people get along in life without it. At this point in my life, i could care less about grades and just enjoy what i am doing-seriously life is too precious to sit there and fret about such minor things. do what you have to and accept that its the best you can do and that should satisfying in itself.

Truly, i adore where life has taken me. Always take into consideration that life is exactly where its suppose to be and everything that is happening is for the best.
Enough deep and random thoughts for now.

till then- jon rogers always told me to "stay classy" so i will relay the message to all the readers. stay classy, all!

procrastination and mochas

So,
hello general public. thank you for choosing to read the thoughtlets perspiring from my mind. we're gonna jump right in.

Before doing so, look to the nearest person around you and confirm them as your exit buddy. alright blastoff.

Its one of those afternoons i have a LOT of things to get done, but i am choosing to write about it because if i dont something in the everyday world might just spontaneous blow up.  This weekend is one of my best friends/roomate from college's wedding weekend, my birthday is tomorrow, and i have another exam and 2 papers to get to before any of that strikes. yikes-uh. talk about the thrill of adrenaline. I have actually grown to adore times like this because they make all my efforts from earlier in the week seem totally worth it as i can recall everything i need to when i begin studying. Its too early to say this because i am immensely enjoying my senior year of college, but i can't wait to be done so there is none of this "midterm" business to follow. but enough of my complaints about education, i am so incredibly fortunate to be where i am with the knowledge i have acquired. life is oh too sweet sometimes.

It is fall time, probably the most perfect type of day there is- bright colors, sunshine, jeans and tshirt weather :) its almost a teaser though because its just slightly out of touch at this point. Fall break is this weekend as well and i am STOKED to be celebrating the affair in the northern woods of upper michigan- back to my family roots. Big plans: Epic wedding of the two and only Candace and Jon Rogers, crazy dance party with brooke and jess, road trippin with joey, bonfires, camping, stars, and home made apple sauce from the orchard apples. oh, most importantly-breathing. Overall summary: total bliss.

I will put myself in the best shape if i go back to learning to art mastery of michael aschenbrenner so i am fully ready to dominate his exam in 3 hours. Michael approves of this last sentence (if any of you out there have ever had this wonderful man as a professor, he will talk about himself in the third person all the time.) So its less Lauren and more Michael at this point in the day. We shall see if this attempt at blogging continues to trend or ebb for awhile, keep everyone sitting on the edge of their seats or not caring- its ultimately your decision. Regardless of all my intellectual jabber, i will leave with this last message to help inspire thoughts:

coffee is the drink of champions, helps concentration and alertness, and holds cardiovascular benefits.
