So I've written some stuff lately, but nothing really about what's going on in my life. Which, by the way, has been wonderful. So here's to quickly catch you up ( Read more... )

My weekend was fantastic. End of story.

( Okay, not really the end of the story. )

So I think it's going to become a Thursday tradition to go to the Rollodrome with Beth and TJ to skate. I had originally come up with it last week while trying to think of something fun to do around town that we hadn't done in a while--I was in the mood for something more than hanging around in front of a TV and chatting. That's fine most nights, ( Read more... )

I'm just about done the big busywork project they gave me here in the office a couple weeks ago to work on when I have nothing better to do, so I figured I should slow myself down a bit. Unlike a lot of people, I don't mentally "check out" when I'm so close to being finished, but I kind of wish I did. I'm so ready to be done, but I'm close. I can ( Read more... )

Well, I'm feeling much better today. At this point, I sort of have to pep-talk myself through the day--the best part of it being my twenty minutes a day of chatter with John at lunch time--and some days I just don't have the energy for it. Yesterday was one of those days ( Read more... )

So much has been going on these days along with finals that I haven't even had time to get into it. I should have known that Neil was going to screw us over again this year by assigning our projects to be due before finals week began and not telling us until two days before. Fortunately for me, I decided to a really easy photography project--camera ( Read more... )

I was actually crossing the street to take a couple pictures of the neighbor's flowers when John rolled up to the house around 4 PM on Friday. Just like last year, I didn't so much invite him up to the Balloon Fest as threaten to cry if he didn't come. (Hey, this is my favorite weekend of the summer--I'm allowed to pout and cry just this once.) ( Read more... )

Financial Aid hates me. Instead of taking the hold off my account that I fixed by filling out a stupid form for the third time [because they lost it both other times], they gave me another one for pretty much no reason. And I can't get rid of that one until I mail in this FAFSA signature page that I did once already back in MARCH. Oh, and by the ( Read more... )
