And so, it is that time again, where I must let everyone know that I am still alive. I have been in overdrive these last few weeks, trying to get everything organized for a thousand different things that need my immediate attention. Soon tho, I'll be in the clear... soon...
Virginia is looking better and better everyday... passport application is in, paper work is almost done, and details are slowly being assembled. We leave on the 9th of January!! I am soooo excited! The apartment supplies are now all on sale; what doesn't get sold will be donated to the Salvation Army, I've decided. I'll pack up a few boxes of stuff so I'm not completely destitute next year, but I'm sure I have two of everything. Oh, and the For Sale list includes the car, if you know anyone able to take on such a beast... aha ha ha...
The fourth year project is slowly coming along. I am almost getting excited to present in... t-minus 10 days!!! EEEEK! It will be the closing point of an enjoyable semester, that none-the-less can't end soon enough. The paper is almost finished (at a whopping 35 pages) and the results are complete (and bloody wonderful, if I may say so myself). After a wonderful 12 hour stint in the Library, it is looking somewhat decent, I must say...To anyone interested in seeing me squirm, booing me, or possibly even interested in this marvelous research that has consumed the better part of a year, I present on the 24th or 25 of November (find out tomorrow as to the exact details)... duh duh duh duhhhhh....
Had a marvelous long weekend on the island, helped Adam settle in his goats, worked in the barn for a few hours - which I haven't done in years.... ironically... Also managed to visit Shelli for a day, stayed up til 2am talking. Was also given a guided tour of the AVC... wow do I love that girl... One of these days I'll be there.... God damnit, I WILL!
In other news... I have been too busy to wallow, although I want to. I have been too busy to think, even though I need to. And I have been too busy to contemplate what these wants and needs mean... Being lonely (even tho I am surrounded by people most of the time) hasn't been this hard in a long time... Oh how I loath this feeling... Christmas break won't come soon enough...
