Weekend, etc.
I have a lot of random things on my mind this morning...
*tries to think of where to start*
Well, Friday was a fairly interesting day at work. Because it was commencement for the school, almost everyone was assigned to random event-related tasks for the day, and I was assigned to selling business school merchandise to recent graduates and their parents outside of a big reception that was happening just before the actual commencement ceremony. It was understandably VERY busy. @_@ I had kind of been dreading it, but it was honestly a lot of fun, for the most part. People were in mostly good spirits, so I didn't have to deal with too many rude customers or anything like that. And then at the end I got to pick two free things for myself, so... I got Jeremy a sweatshirt and a long-sleeved t-shirt for next year. :P
It was about 3:30 when the sale ended, and right around that time, one of the guys who works in the admissions office came around and told us that he wanted to take all of us who had worked the sale out for drinks, and that we should all go back and ask our supervisors if they'd let us out early. XD So I came back up to the office and as discreetly as possible asked one of my bosses (the only one who wasn't already at the commencement ceremony) if it would be okay for me to...spend the rest of the day at a bar. :P And she said yes, and I did. And it was a lot of fun. :D
Jeremy and I went out for Indian food after that, and then... Hmmm, what happened on Saturday...? Ah, right, I spent the morning cleaning, because Jeremy's mom and her husband were arriving in the afternoon from Colorado, and... I'm insane about cleaning, especially if I know someone's coming to the apartment. :P So I did laundry, and dusted and vacuumed, and mopped the floors. ...In between all of that I read the wonderful news about the 3rd child's birth, and was appropriately excited and fangirly. XD
Then they got here, we went to dinner at this really great Mediterranean restaurant that gave us enough food for about 10 people - seriously, we had about 3 POUNDS of leftovers from that meal... And then we came back to the apartment for pie. And that was the end of Saturday. Oh, and before dinner, we went for a walk around our neighborhood, and I discovered that there's a street about 5 seconds away from our apartment that right now, is lined with cheery trees in full bloom. It really reminded me of Japan. *__* I took pictures, but they're still on my phone. >_>
*is realizing that this is becoming a rather long and not-very-exciting entry* :P I'll try to be more concise. :P
So yesterday was Jeremy's chamber music concert (the reason why his mom was here) and so we went out for brunch in the morning, and then drove out to Lansing for the concert, which was really nice. Jeremy's thinking now that next year, he might not have time to play in the orchestra, with what the calendar is looking like for his program and... That makes me kind of sad. I can't imagine not going to hear him play concerts anymore... Obviously, he needs to figure out what he has time for, feasibly, but... I just really would hate for him to have to drop all of his music stuff, you know? He's already going to be drastically reducing the number of gigs he does, but... For him not to do anything seems really sad.
Anyway.
That was my weekend. ^_~
And of course, this morning, it was nearly impossible for me to wake up. :P I was really grumpy, and really mad that I had to go to work instead of relaxing at home, and then having a leisurely breakfast with Jeremy and his mom and Alan like I wanted to. >_>
And I decided something that seemed a lot more important to me when I started writing this entry, and which now seems... boring. :P But... I was talking to Jeremy last night, and I realized that I really need to prioritize my time better. @_@ I'm constantly feeling (and saying, to anyone who will listen) that I never have time to do anything that I want to do. I never have time to read, or watch things, or write, or catch up with people, etc., etc., but then I can't figure out what I'm doing instead of those things, so I get really mad at myself, thinking that I must just be wasting a lot of time, or something.
But really, I think I'm just one of those people who always tries to get all the little things out of the way first, before I sit down to do what I really want to do. And then of course, since there are always a million little things to do, it ends up being a really weird form of procrastination for me, and I never get to certain things, because I'm always trying to finish something else first. So. I've decided that I'm really going to try to just let all those little things go and just... Do the things I really want to do. And do them first, instead of saving everything for some undetermined date that never comes. *nod* :P
And really, I'm going to shut up now, and get to work. :P
I hope everyone had a good weekend though, and... Yeah. That's all. XD
