There's just something about December.
I work in a little under nine hours, so of course now is a good time to start a post. Oh brain, you're so silly.
Geez, it's been a while, ne? I suppose an apology is in order, in case any of you were worried or curious or anything. Lots has happened since... September? I think? Yeah, that sounds right.
1. I moved in with Michael. We're in a fairly large basement suite, paying less than we should for the place because it's not in the best neighbourhood. It's pretty much constantly messy, and has been since we moved in. We vacuumed for the first time the other day, and got enough fur for an entire other cat. (Yes, Kaos came with me.) It certainly explained why Michael had been having more troubles breathing, what with the cat allergy. He's doing a bit better now, but he's still drugging himself every day. I appreciate that he's willing to do that so I can keep my cat with me; it would be better if I didn't feel a bit guilty for putting him in the position, but it was his idea for me to keep my cat instead of leaving him with my parents, so I try not to feel too bad.
I suppose I should mention that it's going well. We're not around much, but when we are, we usually end up watching tv shows and baking, so it's not so bad. It's also nice to wake up beside someone I love. So the few times I've gotten homesick, it went away fairly quickly.
2. School's been going okay. I missed an entire section on one of my finals and still managed a B+, so if I hadn't been full of fail, I would have had an A, which would have been awesome. I guess I'll just have to do better next semester. Also, I never have to do syntax again, huzzah!
3. Choir exec is a special activity. It largely involves sitting in the (apparently unheated) choir office during office hours, and sitting through meetings in which I have had very little input up to this point. My partner in Tour planning quit about a month ago, so we had an emergency bi-election to replace her. So everything has to get done in the second semester, oh joy. At least I've booked the buses, though I have to call the bus company back to get a quote and maybe make a deposit. I doubt the deposit will be necessary until March or so, but it would be good to know for certain. I just really want it all to be planned and ready for us to go, which isn't about to happen. Le sigh.
4. Work is going well. I really enjoy the people at the new store, and there are fewer managerial issues, so that's lovely. I'm only on a seasonal contract (due to said managerial issues, rawr) and have no idea if I'll be kept on after the middle of January, so I suppose I should probably start looking for a new place to work. We'll see how this goes.
5. I've been listening to too much Sarah Slean again lately. It's a dangerous way to spend time. Leads to far too much speculation. Oh well. Maybe it's just a sign that I need new music. Suggestions?
Other than that, I suppose I'm excited for school to start again. Theoretically, I'll finally have time to get back into the gaming group, which would be a bloody miracle, since I haven't been in months. Of course, I'm pretty sure they're all kind of pissed at me, with the possible exception of Tom, so I'm kind of afraid to go back. We'll see if that works out at all. I won't lie, I feel guilty as hell for never making time for it in the past few months, but it's been a stupidly busy few months, and I am sometimes an avoidant wimp, so it's not really surprising, I guess.
It'll be nice to have a proper schedule again, though. None of this scheduling me for random shifts at any time of day, on any day. Blech, mornings.
And I should really make some new year's resolutions. To stop being such an avoidant wimp, maybe? Sure, that's a good plan. I'll aim for that one. Now, time for bed, and work in the morning. (Seriously, morning shifts and I don't get along. This is a terrible plan.)
