Happy 4th of July to me?
I just got back from the annual conference in Texas. I worked 58 hours in 5 days, and I am tired! I've been sleeping a lot since I got back. And other random tasks. I should be studying for the Praxis, since I have to take it if I want to get into a graduate program at FIU. Crossing my fingers.
The whole reason I thought to write today is that during this restful period, I have been reflecting on days past. I recently downloaded pics from the conference and I did not look good in any of them. It started to make me nervous that I'm just not as cute anymore. I then looked at pictures from the same time last year, and I didn't look so good in them either. I'm hoping it's just lack of sleep. Kind of sad that I'm old enough that it shows when I don't get enough sleep. Although I guess it was showing last year, too.. was it?
I was in St Louis this time last year. Jake had just dumped me, so I got over it the best way I knew how, by hanging out with other guys. It's actually still the only way I know :/ This is when I saw Mike and told him I've never been to California, and all the trouble began!
This year, I was supposed to meet Ben at his friend's wedding, but it just didn't work out since it conflicted with the conference. It's too bad 'cause I'd love to spend some time in the middle of nowhere. Spending time with Ben would be nice, too..
I think I'm going to an army base today, even though it's trouble. I wanted to do something unique to the DC area. My original plan was something like the parade and then fireworks at the National Mall. But then I spoke with a friend who's stationed at Arlington Cemetery. I can keep him company, AND I read that you can get a good view of the DC fireworks from there, and it won't be crowded!
(The tense mix-up WAS on purpose.)
