....what if old love should return?...
The Fall of a Sparrow, by Robert Hellenga, is absofuckinglutely amazing. I've been totally engrossed in it since I started reading it on my flight home, but I keep getting pulled away from it: work, school, friends, and my little sis is visiting me, and constantly wants to go get ice cream. (I think the 90* weather is a wee bit much for her, but then again, I only survive b/c I have excellent air conditioning.)
F-ing amazing, though, and I suggest that y'all run out and get a copy... you have just enough time to read it before Harry Potter comes out Friday at midnight!! I don't know when exactly I plan on reading that, however, because I work at nine the next morning... and sleep is good.
So I am back in Connecticut, and I am very, very torn still... I'm not reading to give up UConn, and the Gap, and my friends, but I really want to be back at Lee's (where, by the way, I got a phenomenal raise this summer, and they're offering me a promotion), and with all of my friends... and my little niecey and nephie who are growing up so quickly... How am I supposed to decide?? I keep getting the advice to stay here until X-Mas and then see if I still want to go back, but I'll owe UConn another $15,000 if I stay even that long... I feel like if I stay for another semester, I am committing myself to finishing, b/c I cannot afford to pay back my student loans in P-town, even with this awesome promotion. There are just too many other things.
Other than that, though, things are good. It's really fun having Bridey out here, even though I have to work all the time. Today, though, I'm taking her up to UConn with me, so that will be fun. We went to see Bewitched last night, and it was ueber-cute. We laughed through the whole thing.
In two weeks, Bri and I are going tubing down the Farmington River... if anyone is interested in joining, let me know...
P.S. Hezzie, you HAVE to come out here because I just cannot live without you. Really, really.
Ooh, I'm hungry, and Starbucks is calling my name...
