Magic Fingers

Today made me tired. It seems every night right around seven-thirty I get tired and start to lovingly stare at my bed. By eight o'clock the lights are out and by eight-thirty I am asleep. I then wake up at one o'clock, three o'clock, and four-fifteen. My alarm goes off at five. I hate this pattern but it's just what I am having to deal with at the moment. I am only telling you all of this so you understand the sometime lack of blogs.

A huge shout out to Big Dan and Lil' Sam tonight. Dan and Sam are the only two guys in my class, Dan just turned nineteen last week and Sam is seventeen. They are really good guys and I have grown pretty tight with Dan over the last two years. I often say that I don't have many friends in Luzern, and although I rarely hangout with them outside of school, they have been nothing but good to me from the start and I am really going to miss them when I leave. Dan has a huge heart and has prevented me from quitting more then a couple times, something I am extremly thankful for. Sam is a loud mouth and needs a lot of attention (if I ever had a son, it would probably be a lot like Sam), but gets the best grades in the class and is destined to become a big name in the industry within the next ten years. So, a thank you to my two boys, who in an odd way make my life here easier, and also flatter the shit out of me on a weekly basis.

Oh! I had a very Project Runway moment today. We had a test today in my cake decorating class. We sat down and our teacher handed each one of us a piece of paper with a large circle on it. We were given a theme, forty-five minutes to sketch our cakes, and then another forty-five minutes to do the decoration. The moment he explained the assignment I started looking around for Tim Gunn, if only! It seems a lot of the class new this was going to happen and started to take out stencils and clip-art, Lil' Sam went so far as to recycle an old design, which I called him on and was quite disappointed about (he's really my only competition in decorating, aside from this other girl, so it's no fun when he cheats). Our theme was "Dankeshön," and I had no idea where to begin. Whatever happened between that, and handing in our work, I'm not really sure, but with total lack of humility I can safely say that I got magic in these here fingers. Seriously, I scared myself. It was pure magic.

Ok, it's eight o'clock, I can hear the bells outside my window, time for this backer to get to bed.
