We just had our last imagination class in the thirsty mind. And Caitlin just randomly picked out one of the $1 books and read a random couple pages out loud. And it was just the funniest thing ever. It is soooo awful! I can't wait for her to read the entire thing out loud to me.
Weekend:
Friday I went to see Hilly's M&Cs jam. She just cracks me up. This weekend was such a lovefest for me and her. I love how loud and inappropriate the track team is at a Capella jams. There was also an all-male group from MIT there. They weren't good singers, but they were pretty hilarious.
Saturday we had a meet at Smith. My first two throws were horrendous. But my third was good and satisfying 30'10". And the three in the finals were fine, but nothing special. I'm much happier with this meet than the first. I'm really physically burnt out though, so I'm probably gonna do next to nothing over break. Which worries me for Jterm, but I just can't push my body anymore. This semester was been tough.
Saturday night was like the best night ever. Natasha, Dana, Cammy, and I decided to finally head over to the Cozy Oaks pub like 5 minutes away in South Hadley. It was just so much fun. It's not as creepy inside as you would expect from the outside. It's actually really cozy! And like, there's cheap beer, and lots of middle aged drunkards and other locals, and you can control the music cuz they have a juke box. So we were just picking the most ridiculous music and having all these party fouls. We were probably a spectacle but everyone there was enjoying it. (YEAH! ZOMBIE!) Those are just my favorite places to hang out. It was like the Mass version of the Maltings in Edinburgh, you know? Anyway, Cammy and I decided we are going to become regulars. Which is just always my life's dream. Ya know, being a regular at a bar. I'm weird.
Sunday Caroline and I went shopping cuz I had some coupons. We bought some good stuff, it just started stressing me out cuz I realized I was spending all this money on myself and I haven't officially decided what I'm getting my family for holiday gifts yet. Buh. It's much more stressful this year being unable to get everyone souvenirs from being abroad. But whatever, two wives shopping is always a good idea.
So now I have one day of classes left. I had my last day of Gorse for the semester today, and it's a good thing I'll be back for an independent study in January because I would loose my shit if I was saying goodbye today. My study child came in today and gave me a kiss on the cheek, which he never does to anybody. Well, first it was a lick on the cheek, haha. What a trouble maker. But then he gave me a kiss when I told him that that's not such a nice thing to do. He was so cute about it though. I love him. He's my brother from another mother. He was cracking me up so much today. I mean, he always does, but I couldn't contain myself during circle time. Ugh, I can't leave him. Ever. He can be a pain in the ass, but he's to perfect for me and my family. I want to adopt him. bleh. What a cutie. You should see him in the picture of the class I got as a thank you. BAAAHHH!
As far as finals go, I have enough time that if I stay until the 19th I can get everything done no problem. My worry is just how well I'll follow the schedule I made for myself. I mean, I'll get everything done on time, I always do. I just worry mostly about my imagination final, which I have to save for last. I think I have a clear idea of what I need and want to do, I just have so much to change from my rough draft. And the idea of basically starting from scratch is so overwhelming, so I'm trying to just not think about it until I have to.
So I didn't know Kelly. At all, I think. It's so troublesome though, because of the really vague e-mails that were sent out. I understand wanting to inform the community asap, while still respecting her family's privacy and wishes. But I really wish they had just made sure to contact her close friends and family, and waited to inform the general community when there was more definite things to say. Although I guess they wanted to make sure to inform everyone about the services. But in general, it's just such a stressful time in general, ya know? So I didn't know her, but it's just difficult to think of things like that especially when it's coming up on two years since Lauren passed away. I don't think I can handle digging into those wounds right now. I do feel I got a lot of closure, but it's not something that's completely healed for me, ya know? Anyway, as I said, I can't think about things like this right now because I'm going to upset myself too much. I just miss Lauren a lot sometimes, especially when something so awful like this happens again to this community. My thoughts and prayers, however, are with Kelly and her friends and family. Tell, Lauren I love and miss her, will ya?
