oh livejournal, how i miss thee.
i don't even know how to update anymore. i am a terrible livejournalist. it's true. i never thought this would happen, but it officially has. here are some things, again, in list form:
x. tomorrow is my twenty-fourth birthday. coincidentally, it is also my first day of classes at mount holyoke. as mount holyoke has decided to designate tomorrow as a wednesday, my schedule is slightly intimidating. three classes. one of them happens to be three hours long.
x. at six, my long lost mother is taking jared and i out to dinner for my birthday. we are probably going to big mamou's in springfield, but if the city is wreaked with madness due to michael jordan's arrival (for those who don't know: basketball was invented in my hometown, where i currently live, and the basketball hall of fame is located downtown. michael jordan is being inducted tomorrow, marking one of the biggest events to occur in springfield in quite some time), we just might have to dine elsewhere.
x. even though my only experiences with mount holyoke thus far center around rushed orientation events, i actually feel comfortable there, which is saying a lot considering how strongly i hate formalities and shmoozing with strangers, regardless of how pretty some of them may be.
x. i read franny and zooey after avoiding it for years, and i loved it so much, i almost feel silly. why didn't i read this earlier? it felt like a wes anderson film.
x. jared got a full-time temp-to-hire job assembling stuff at a place in chicopee that makes medical equipment. it's hard to fathom that he'll be getting paid soon after having been out of work for over a year. it's so relieving.
x. that being said, we will obviously be seeing a lot less of each other, as our schedules are fuller and not entirely cooperative. he's been having to go to bed at around 10pm to wake up in time to ride his bike to work for 6:30, and i've been going to bed around midnight since i should be waking up around 8am for school. sigh. not to mention the fact that i'm also working three shifts a week, meaning that on mondays and fridays we only have a whopping three and a half hours of awake-time together, much of which will likely be spent cooking, eating, and doing homework. oh well. enough whining for now. i have some sleep to get.
