Please don't have a heart attack.
Yes I really am posting an honest to goodness entry. Yes I know it has been awhile. I think about things to journal about and say that I should be getting on but then I get caught up in something else. Oh well, life goes on. And that is usually why I am not journaling.
My life is crazy busy as always, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I won't even try to fill you in on everything that has happened. It would be too daunting of a task and no one in her right mind would ever want to read it all. Currently on a trip with a couple of guys I have flown with before and whose company I enjoy. Decent trip, not too hard but not easy. None of us actually want to be flying and we are all looking forward to the last day. One leg from Eugene, done by 6:15 in the morning. It is almost like getting another day off. The only downside is the early morning (4:20 van, I think). But it is a lot easier to get up in the morning when you know you only have one 40 minute leg to do and then you get to go home. And that night I get to go to Anchorage and visit Ethan for a few days. Am very much looking forward to that. I just have to finish his quilt. I determined to take it with me but it may be finished on the plane or in the airport. It's really cute. I like it and am trying to ignore its imperfections. I'll try and post a picture when it is done. I hope he likes it.
Over Labour Day weekend Melly was in town and she, Turk, Cara, and I managed to get together for a bit. It was a blast. We figure it has been four or five years since the four of us have managed to find a time to hang out. Much laughter and teasing were involved. It was so good to have us all together again. I hope we manage to do it again before another four years has passed. It should be easier now that we are all on the West Coast again.
On Labour Day itself, Dad and I went to a Beaver's baseball game, the last one of the season. It was fun. The Beavers won 3-2. I got sunburnt and made some decent progress on my scarf. Mainly it was just fun to hang out with Dad for a couple of hours and just chat and such. We don't get to spend much time together. I miss our long rides. I finished the night by going to dinner with Kevin at the Island cafe. It is a place on Jantzen Beach he keeps telling me about but we hadn't been able to make it to. Great atmosphere. It is literally on the docks on the river. We just sat on the water with our drinks and enjoyed the sun and occasional breeze for a couple of hours. Overall a very delightful day and weekend.
Yesterday, two days ago (I am so losing track of time-whatever day Wednesday was) I drove up to Seattle after work and went to an informational session on the UW MLIS program. I have to say that it has been about a year since I have been to Seattle other than the airport. It was very weird to see Seattle from the ground and that it takes more than an hour to get there. Flying has certainly changed my prospective. I managed to get there around four o'clock so I missed rush hour. In the time before the meeting started I met up with Alex. We had some iced chais and caught up. Amazing how fast time flies, it had been about two years since we had seen each other.
The session itself was a reality check. It will be a lot of work and money to get my degree. If I want to start in Fall 2008 I have to start the application process about now. According to them they only accept one in three applicants, which is a bit of a daunting thought. I am finding myself nervous and apprehensive. Is this what I want to do? Is it worth it? Is UW the right school or am I going with it because it is the easiest? What will I do if I apply and don't get accepted? Ahhh! One thing is certain, if and when I go back to school I am getting a new computer. I cannot go through two or three years of papers without a "R" key. It would drive me crazy.
