I was going to go see Mary Bue tonight, but I discovered none of the busses near me run Saturday nights.  Normally, I would just walk (it's kind of a trek, but not bad), except I failed to plan my day in a logical fashion, meaning I already did that entire walk and then some, so my legs are tired from walking gingerly on snow and ice.

Am trying to ( Read more... )

For no clear reason, I was totally emo yesterday.  It would have been amusing, if, well, I was up to feeling amused.  Emo

I have my iTunes set to play everything on shuffle while I'm trying to eat, but it keeps playing unappetizing songs.  Diane Cluck's "Petite Roses" came on, then a few songs later, David Bowie's "Amsterdam."

I feel like the universe might be trying to tell me something.

Down with slop!

So I'm moving on 1 Oct, or sooner if I can get things worked out, but for some reason my housing search this time is turning out to be a lot more difficult than the previous times.  I'm getting frustrated and don't feel like it should really be this hard for me.  I'm biased, but I feel like I'm pretty easy to live with, definitely more ( Read more... )

I'm feeling stuck in the doldrums.  It's awkward because I moved here not knowing anyone but I won't get a chance to actually meet people from my school until orientation at the end of August.  I'm waiting for my background check to go through so I can begin work, which will probably take all of this week.  I try to go over to school to practice ( Read more... )

Yay, I have an apartment now.  And my bank account no longer belongs to Hostelling International.  I can even wash my veggies without getting grossed out.  I dragged my suitcase and other stuff up and down way too many flights of stairs today.  I'm pleased my muscles aren't all crampy--instead I feel like I'm going to melt ( Read more... )

It got cold.  Transferring busses at 6:30am when it's 0 degrees out is a cold thing to do.  At least I'm lucky that it waited till halfway through the winter to get cold.  Mainly I'm terrified of slipping on ice and re-injuring my knee.

I got a grad school application mailed off.  Go me.  Now I get to work on financial aid stuff, then see about ( Read more... )

I'm not really sure what I'm doing up so late. (A classic opening line that never bodes well for the remainder of the post...) My just having woken up from a nap at 10pm might have something to do with the situation.

Today was my first doctor visit since I broke my knee two weeks ago. As usual, I was thoroughly unimpressed with their competency, ( Read more... )

I can't seem to stay on Livejournal very long. The day after I posted my previous update, I had a freak accident and broke my kneecap. As a result, I have been--and continue to be--bedridden. If I were a proper Minnesotan, I would say it wasn't that bad. However, I've learned that telling the truth is a better way to relate to people, so I will ( Read more... )
