It's better than drinking alone.

Okay, the Bon Jovi episode of "Sex and the City" is on TBS again, so I'm thinking that my mood can only improve from here. We had a little scare this afternoon with my mom that left us all feeling on edge, and Jus and I have basically been sniping at each other ever since. I'm being overly sensitive, but the "teasing" is becoming more and more rude. Pair that with the sharp increase in responsibilities and decrease in alone time, and I feel like a hormonal pre-teen again! Hell, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm not even getting the hours I want at work because CPK hired too many hosts/hostesses. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're just waiting for me to leave so the others can have my hours, especially when they don't miss a chance to note that they "only hired [me] because [I] go to University of Michigan!" At least I'm gaining ground with my managers, but I'm considering quitting at the end of this month and taking any hours UPS gives me for August. On the bright side, it looks like I'm making enough so that I won't have to work during the school year. Ah, we'll see.

I finished "The Sparrow" this afternoon. The ending was very intense and provocative; I haven't thought so hard about being a Catholic since I graduated high school. It was interesting to consider how vulnerable one is in a true relationship with God, just as one is in a true relationship with one's significant other. It also rose some interesting thoughts about God's involvement in creation. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father." But he falls nonetheless. Such a good book.

There's something vaguely poetic about this unsettled feeling.
