Technology is amazing.

I am finishing up my classes this week, which means I should be heading back to the motherland soon. However, I am trying to stay as long as possible. My visa allows me to stay until June 28th exactly. Unfortunately, I just found out that my summer midterm is on June 13th.

I wasn't going to take any classes this summer, but I need to take an introductory Philosophy class because Mercer doesn't allow seniors to take it. Luckily, Dalton State offers the class online. I will start it next Monday while I am abroad, so cool! 


The midterm situation will shorten my trip a bit, which makes me oh so very sad. Fifteen days may not seem like much, but it's a lifetime to a girl who will be without my handsome guy for seven months!

I came across this CRAZY (and somewhat stalker) invention that was ironically developed down the road in Edinburgh, Scotland. It's called the Long Distance Pillow.

Basically, when your long-distance lover goes to bed, he/she puts on a ring that is attached to the pillow. It picks up your pulse, then sends it to the matching pillow, making it light up. Your pillow glows when the other person lays down on it! You can actually hear the heartbeat of the other person.


CRAZY...and kind of stalker creepy. This is how I picture it playing out for us:

Ian: Okay, Kels. I'm going to bed because I am really sleepy.
Ian forgets to put on the pulse ring.
Kelsey waits anxiously for the matching pillow to light up.
It doesn't. 
She assumes he is lying and is actually going out with another girl!!! How dare he!! 
Kelsey: How did you sleep last night, Ian?
Ian: Great!
Kelsey: YOU ARE A LIAR! 
Then we have a massive falling out.

A much more practical idea for me would be the boyfriend pillow:

According to Amazon, it provides firm support to cuddle with and is great to snuggle with. 
First of all, it just wouldn't be right because Ian's muscles are much bigger than that (haha). Also, it would probably scare the youknowwhat out of me if I walked into my bedroom to find half of a torso laying on my bed. According to the product details, you can even take the shirt off...I'm not even gonna go there.
