Technically I'm doing the Commune's recycling right now. In actuality I'm dropping my sister off at work, making arrangements for coffee tonight with a friend of a friend, catching up on my e-mail, and putting off recycling for at least another 15 minutes ( Read more... )

Busy times again! Sunday night I found out that I was supposed to take my CLEP exam on the US government 10am Monday morning at Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek, so I frantically studied for all of 15 minutes (maybe a little bit more?) until I realized that the practice test I had was ridiculously easy. I then proceeded to hang out with ( Read more... )

I just got back from an interview at Sears with who I think is the most pleasant interviewer I have yet to encounter. Not that the other ones were nasty, but talking with him was pleasant and not just nerve-wracking :-). He was black and I think my experiences abroad were more interesting to him than they have been to others. Anyways, after the ( Read more... )

Good times today. Too much to write about now since I need to get up kind of early tomorrow to go to Ann Arbor, but the highlights were working all day in the Bookstore with Shar and going out shopping with Leah. It was good (I got a couple of things I would've waffled on otherwise) and the conversation was good too. Lots of thought-provoking stuff ( Read more... )

CHRIS IS HERE!!! I totally thought he was arriving late Friday night, but I was up after midnight and he suddenly appeared into my room :-). It was a really nice surprise as I'd been wanting him to come earlier anyway. (I did wish I'd spent some time cleaning up my room like I've been needing to for a while, but c'est la vie ( Read more... )

I'm just back from 5 hours at Meijer, which followed a little over 6 hours at the bookstore. I am quite wiped out. I thought working later would be better (and in some ways it is - fewer customers), but it's not quite so. Tomorrow I have an even fuller day - both Shar and John will be gone, so I have work with Jayne in the bookstore from 9am to 5pm ( Read more... )

It was a long day today. I was out rather late (for these post-graduation days :-) ) with Leah, Ryan, and Mark and then went in around 10:30am to help Shar out in the bookstore till noon. After that I ate a quick lunch and then went to Meijer and ended up being there till 9pm since they were extra busy and needed the help. (And yes, I got paid for ( Read more... )

An okay day. My throat and voice improved as the day progressed, but during my second shift in the bookstore my ability to talk in an easily understandable way left me for about 10 minutes, so I got sent home early to sleep. No strep thank God, but it's bad enough and I'm going to be resting most of tomorrow (God granting). I was able to make it to ( Read more... )
