(no subject)
The good:
One of the people my friend's DM (district manager) at Starbucks referred me to wants to call me and talk about career opportunities in Denver! I know this isn't anything remotely committed, but I'm happy to be making connections and finding out directly from the source!
The bad:
The textbook for Business Finance does not remotely want to cooperate, nor is the professor interested in working toward a solution (and, to his absolution, not sure what he could do anyway) so I gave up, and at my dad's urging ("Stop being a cheap college student," etc.), purchased a hard copy for $115. This is actually covered by my textbook deferrment, but the gap between this purchase and the time when my extra book money will be deposited into my account is what I had to take a leap of faith on.
I broke through my wall of pessimism and negative feeling and just confessed the truth: I'm scared and lonely. Scared that I'll lose myself here, that I'll be somehow diminished. Scared that I'll compromise on something because I'm lonely. Just scared of bein' lonely, dammit. You'd think I'd be used to both by now. You'd think that I wouldn't mind so much now, because the end is in sight.
The ugly:
My roommate Beth baked brownies, and since I saw she had no one to help her eat them (what a waste), I offered to assist. After being in the fridge, they were hard, but my craving for chocolate was such that I got out a butter knife and spoon and went away at it like picking at a wall of ice, then snatching up the little crumbs that ensued and eating them. Yum.
