Hello everyone,
I've totally been ignoring, even forgetting about livejournal. I read everything since my last post today - and I apoligize for not replying to all of your wonderful posts. Nanda, you are amazing and I have such admiration for all of the wonderful and important activities with which you are engaged. Annie, I am so excited for your New Orleans and Salem possibilities, goals, etc. I am so excited for you. Laura, I send you my deepest condolences. I would like to talk to you as soon as your free - actually, I'd like to talk to all of you as soon as you are free - so let me know what is the best phone number at which to contact you and when is good, and then expect a call!
All of you others, I've been reading, too. Phill, I'm excited for your post-college life - I know it's overwhelming, but it's also a great beginning of the rest of your life, as is, I suppose, everything. But this seems pretty momentus, and I wish you the best. Daniel... well, I don't really feel out of touch with you. Cheryl, I miss you! Laura Eve, I miss you, too, as you must know. And everyone else, keep writing. I'm reading, I promise. Just not in a particularly timely fashion.
What have I been doing, rather than post in livejournal?
Well...
I've been cleaning the house. Over and over again. Every day. Hopefully it'll be sold soon, and I can stop having to leave my room every morning as if some angel child lives here and not messy ol' me.
I've been interning. Reading, summarizing, writing letters, attending meetings, trying not to be annoyed by my chatty cubicle-mate, making friends with the other interns, sitting in the cubicle, walking to the Reagan Center for lunch, getting to know my mentor and the other people in my office.
I've been spending a lot of time with my parents. Mornings in the car with my Dad, dinner with my parents every evening, often crossword puzzles or television watching with them in the evening. Running with my Dad in the morning, when my shin splints aren't bothering me, is also fun.
I've been babysitting and will babysit at least another three times this summer. Also I have plans to meet up with various high school friends to see them at least one more time...ever. Well, maybe that's too dramatic. Probably it is. But we are moving, after all, and seeing them will be difficult at best after this summer. I feel pretty OK about it though - I don't see them very often as it is. And of course I'll still have all of you.
I've been reading a lot, on the metro and otherwise. Playing guitar, at least for a few minutes in a row until mom tells me to put everything away because someone is coming to look at the house.
And I spend a substatial portion of my non-working/non-sleeping hours talking to Daniel on the phone, which is always wonderful. Somehow I have a lot more to say than I ever think that I will.
And I've been Hillel-ing, a little. Probably I should be thinking about it more often, but then, well, I guess, maybe I'm allowed to kind of take it easy for the summer.
So I guess that's absolutely everything. Here I am, knitting and reading live journal entries, and loving all of you. Which won't change, summer or not, moving or not, etc.
So, hello from my neck of the woods to yours, and Ted sends his greetings as well, of course. (for those who don't know - and how can you not? - Ted is my long-time friend and teddy bear)
