Dear Laura and Sirkka (and possibly Pelly?),
I cannot wait for this whole apartment thing.  Sirkka's in to grad school at Temple, so she's definitely in the city.  I just have to, y'know, get a job in the city.  And then we can start looking at places.  (Though the fact that S&F are probably breaking up/changing to friends w/benefits b/c Frank has ( Read more... )

 Well, it can start with swing.  I've wanted to push myself to dance with the leads that I know are good for a while now.  But it's fun to dance with Glenn, and Sloan, and the middling-good leads, and kind of intimidating to ask the fantastic leads.  They don't always keep to the rhythm; they break it up for the sake of musicality.  It's fantastic ( Read more... )

Kid's Night Out, n, a quite awesome fundraiser run through the athletic department, where children of Swarthmore, Media, and wherever are dropped off at the fieldhouse, we entertain them for 3 hours, and then are taken home.   Considered a success when the biggest boo-boos only need band-aids, the kids eventually get tired, and we make over $1000 ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I seriously considered walking out of practice in a rage. Push-ups, crucifix crunches, squat-jumps, and lunges - and Burpees - do not generally factor into a swimathon. Especially not over-an-hour's worth ( Read more... )

 *this is not a post about the boy*  My friends who know about this crush of mine are attempting to convince me I need to tell him.  Yet... he's away for the summer, either at a camp in the Poconos or Scotland.  I don't see that it'll do any good to tell him now.  *really, honestly, truly* Also? he cut his hair o.O  (it's really cute, but it's ( Read more... )

So... Saturday. Helped pick up the mess left over from the party (this is in the morning morning, not 2 am morning, when I also did this... we have a deposit on the space and they take it away if they have to get it cleaned)... and I managed to fall and scrape my knee. Automatic 1st grade flashback: I used to play kickball in my pretty dresses, ( Read more... )

Today was excellent. Woke up, wrote a little on the short story I'm working on (little old lady knitting shrouds for the people she lives with; the shrouds reflect their lives as they are lived), guarded (where the guy at Ben West didn't want to give me the key because the other one was out), ate brunch & finished Speaker for the Dead, worked on ( Read more... )

Engin homework for today: check. For Monday: check, with some checking needed. Lab report, for Monday, progress ( Read more... )

Guarded for a bit with Casey, did a psych study, came back and got into the water with Anne. Got called to babysit last night, but they also cancelled last night ( Read more... )
