The first half of today really sucked, but it's been a long time since I've had as much fun as I did this evening. I love my roommate. Instead of me feeling down about not being able to escape to Michael's tonight on top of everything else, we've spent the past twelve hours laughing together. I'm so glad we got to be friends last year. She's a

I hate tests. One of the major reasons I chose history as a major is that there are absolutely zero traditional tests in history classes. I am perfectly comfortable determining how long I need to spend writing a paper, but it is impossible for me to determine how much time I need to allocate for studying political theory and microeconomics.

I went with my sister to her school today and got to experience the strange life of a middle school teacher. Good times, right? But here's the rub: I kind of liked it. It's sad to have a lovely career path in business law all fleshed out only to be distracted by something completely different ( Read more... )

I have an interview tonight for a position that will involve reorganizing the Willamette Valley Vineyard's inventory system.

Crap!

Later: I most definitely got it, my friends. Life is oh-so-good.

I love being back at school. My (side of the) room is perfect, my bed is comfortable, I'm in love with my MacBook, and some of my favorite people are here with me to enjoy Willamette at its end-of-summer best.

Back in Washington, I kept thinking about wanting to go home, but now that I'm in Oregon again, Washington has reclaimed the title.

I got my new glasses today and I'm in love. They seem a bit too sharp, but it'll just take a few days to get used to the new prescription, I think. I also got my Canadian Adult Edition Harry Potter book today! The cover is gorgeous, the new book scent is sublime, and the British grammar makes me smile. After all that, I went over to my sister's ( Read more... )

LAST NIGHT WAS AMAZING ( Read more... )

On Friday, I sat outside for a bit less than an hour reading before I got too hot and went back inside. It was fabulous, except for the sunburn I managed to get on my legs, shoulders, and chest. I have no idea how I managed that one, really. It was only an hour! Oh well. I've been lazing around the house all weekend, playing Settlers/Seafarers of ( Read more... )

My appointment with my new eye doctor was Thursday. The news was kind of frustrating. Apparently my prescription has changed only marginally, but I should have been wearing my glasses all day instead of only for long-distance seeing, like driving or looking at white boards in class, which is what a different doctor told me two years ago. He was a ( Read more... )
