Better Mood
I'm in a much better mood now. Though *looks down at weather pixie* I might could do with out it being -2 out!
No idea what kind of stick I got up my butt sideways this AM. It happens some mornings. Some (a lot?) of it is that I'm starting to hit the lonely yet depressed to be going home soon part of my visit. Thing is--family is really important, and since I started college I've only seen my mum a couple times a year, but before college we were really close, so DUH, I miss her when I'm not out here. BUT, all my friends and my fiance are pretty much in the south, and after 2-3 weeks out here I start to miss them, you know? Worse today, of course, because all my "day time talkin' people" had the day off from work.
Yikes. I'm *complex* tonight.
Anyway. We went to the Miyahara/Sakurada/Lewis/Etc. New Years party today. A good time, as always. I wasn't into it when we left, but by the time we got there/in the door I was glad we went.
Knee is hurting/tingling more than usual today--jeans hurt when the pull across it.
Wandered around Wal-Mart forever. Got an awesome present for a friend.
Still feeling a bit meh about my lack o' e-lar. I know, geeky of me, but this is how I entertain myself sometimes. And let's recall that Mitchell, with a population 1881 (or so) is NOT a center of amusement and fun. Especially in the winter, when it's too cold and snowy to go ride the horse. The horse gets cranky in the cold and bites, literally.
Spent a "productive" evening watching the Get a Mac commercial ("Hi, I'm a mac, and I'm a PC") with my mother. I'd forgotten how seriously amusing some of them are.
Tomorrow I need to make some phone calls to work out funds for the next year and a half, and get addresses for people to send Save-the-Dates, Christmas Cards, and Wedding Invites to.
I should also do laundry. MUST do laundry. *twitch*
Right now, I'm getting sleepy. It's much harder to stay up late in Mountain Time than in Eastern Time--probably because fewer people are up equally late to amuse me. Ha!
Still meaning to take some pictures of the Bluff with the new camera. We'll see.
I'm home in less than a week. And classes start in a week (though I won't have any 'til Thursday).
Oh, want to see the schedule of amazing? I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but it is what I'm doing next semester.

Yeah...so, on Tuesday and Thursdays, I die. On MWF, I recover. Should be fun. At least it'll be easy to get out and get to solar when I want to, and with just the lab on Mondays I can have lots of recovery time too.
Oh, and if nothing else--a friend of mine made me feel TONS better with a note she left on another diary:
I bet you're the most special person in the world in Matt's eyes. ;-) Happy first-day-of-2008! Heh. [Avalon]
If I'm in K-ville the weather is...
But if I'm in Nebraska it's more like...
