My sunburn is gone now, thanks to my Brazilian genes. If only they would give me a big 'ole Latin ass, too, I'd be so happy. Oh well!

Last night I took my final and hopefully did well-I won't know until next week. It was tough, but I finished in half an hour and got to go home early. The only cute guy in our class, who is blond (not usually something I like) cut off his curly hair, and looks sooooo sexy now with his rockabilly-style. I didn't recognize him, and we were just chatting away in the hall before the exam (he's a smartie!) when one of my friends came up and said "I didn't even recognize you!" and I was so embarrassed to realize it was the boy I'd been too shy to speak to all semester. Silly me! I am such a dork. From now on, I will talk to people before the last day of class. Sheesh.

Enough talk of asses and hotties. My friend Sabra called me last night and invited me to the animal clinic Christmas party this Saturday. The owner is providing all of the drinks, so I will definitely be there. I can't wait to get home! After these finals and the stress of living in Houston, I'm sure Atlanta's going to seem like heaven-for a few hours, at least.

Thursday I get to go work at the Planned Parenthood clinic, to help out with some filing and organizing. I am so thrilled that it's worked out for me to stay here in Houston next semester, so I can keep working with the same clinic. They're such a great organization, and everyone there has been wonderful so far.

I am in one of those rare ecstatic moods that makes you wonder if you're bipolar. Fortunately, I don't think I'm quite manic, but I am ridiculously happy for a change. We'll see how long this lasts.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Tuesday! +hugs
