Orange Zest
I'm okay, I swear. I'm still not overjoyed about drunken MU boys, but life is good.
Thursday I went to College Night at the Art Museum and hung out with C-Mads and Lauren. I won two tickets to the Oriental. Amazing. I laughed so much at their unabashed snack hoarding, especially the Whole Foods truffles, that it almost felt strange to be making so much noise. It was a long week, last week. Shortly after we had a documentary viewing party. What a perfect night.
Saturday night, after getting verbally sexually harassed, I baked an orange cake from scratch. That's right, I finely chopped up an orange peel I had already dried. I shared it, and a pan of muffin, with a New Moon Brunch Sunday morning. It was a smaller ordeal than the last shindig, but that's fine. We had mimosas and hot chocolate with hard Peeps in it. We read Bitch magazine on the Sea of Tranquility. For four and a half hours.
Yesterday I led an impressive group of students at an SL Reflection session. Knock on wood, the two tables of my peers I've led in discussion this semester have been fabulous. It put me in an amazing mood.
Today I had a phone interview that went very well--I'm trying to schedule an in-person follow-up one. Then, a SL meeting for the last Reflection, which I'm helping to plan. Part of my assignment: make a world music mix CD for life lesson musical chairs. I'm not even letting the no-laptop thing get me down. The MPL has almost every Putumayo CD ever, so I went on a raid in between jobs. I love the Public Library!
Plus, Marquee is almost done. It's not even close to midnight! Amazing.
To be fair, my parents aren't cool with my life plan so far, in the following areas: (a) lack of desire to be a journalist (b) the goal of working for a non-profit (c) my plan to do AmeriCorps for a year to get non-profit experience (because it won't actually help with my nearly-unintelligible college loans all that much [I should have gone to a public university]). So, you know, the whole life plan.
But whatev, I'll make my way. Why should I follow that beat being that I'm better than fine?
