an accomplishment

i am now officially a librarian for the sci-fi society!  this basically means that i can read whenever i want for however long i want.  work?  what's that?  that never happens...  psshhh.  anyway, this is exciting, and even though it means that i will never get work done again, it is also really cool!  i have also definitely made friends there, or rather, found people who will become friends.  true to form, the only person i immediately connected with is 26.  and he has a beard.  what is this?  do i have a friend-type now?  much older and bearded?  WEIRD.  interestingly though, he was in the navy for six years, and apparently was some kind of specialist, and knows all these secret things about aircraft carriers.  INTERESTING POPPET!  VERY INTERESTING!  i wonder how much i can ferret out/extrapolate from what he says.

i had a really nice dinner with will the other night.  i only mention this because it started the soothing process for my bard-missing ache.  no one from my new life has asked about it yet, and how i feel about it, and really MEANT it.  (well, other transfers understand.  but that doesn't count, because they don't have to ask.)  people ask a little about how it is to transfer, but always in a polite, "i am making conversation" kind of way.  will really ASKED so i told him, and he was really supportive.  also, i did not cry in the restaurant, which is a GOOD thing, because the food was really good.  also, that just would have been embarrassing.  i remembered that one of the things that clicked with us right away was that we are very similar in the ways we think about problems.  i mentioned that i am having a hard time being in college, and he started giving me advice and i stopped him because he was literally just saying everything i had already thought of.  it's refreshing not to have to explain and defend the things i do.  i make impulsive decisions because i trust my instincts, because my instincts are really good.  i then think back over my decision and parse out what i instinctively knew, so that i can justify my decision to others.  will described this process word-for-word when telling me not to worry about doing things that don't seem to have a tangible reason at the time.  it is SO NICE to have someone finally GET it.

tonight is an all-nighter essay night.  this is a terrible idea, because it is a monday night, but i do what i must.  i will simply not be getting much sleep this week.  as always, i take a perverse joy in it, even as i know i will regret it later.  i can sleep thursday night, after my essays are all done.  i have one essay and a lab report due tomorrow, then a rough draft due wednesday, a dance wednesday night that i REFUSE to miss, and another essay due thursday.  then physics homework due friday, and then the dance concert on saturday.  but i will be HOME so i can just sleep.  a lot.  which is what i will do.  i suppose this IS sort of midterm time, so it makes sense that i am semi-drowning in work.  it all comes at once, as usual.

alright, time to write about juliet, and how she is awesome in three different versions of her romance.
