...it's aliiive

So I meant to get better about this whole livejournal or any journal whatnot, which as usual has failed miserably. Dunno what to say really, but eh, the few big things

1.) Student Perception Survey, fall launch is Tuesday. We have high hopes for keeping our response rate and a whole year of data. My life has been for the past week a series of data crunching experiments.

2.) I got a haircut. A real one. I have bangs and shoulder length hair. People really like it. Most do anyway. I even really like it, though I still have a small clench in the guy when I see long healthy hair. I even bought a straightener, it's like my first grow-up haircut

3.) Job will end soon. Have started tweaking resumé, but not really getting anywhere. There is no excuse except inertia. I think I'd do better at life with a real job so this is troubling. Erik is hard at work and doing fine and we're actually saving money and I am housewifing because I'm good at it, cooking and cleaning and whatnot, but it's not much of a life in someways. Though I now read life 400 pages a week.

4.) After a long dark tea time in my soul, I have pretty much decided even if I do not know precisely what I want (which I think is a very modern concern) I do rather like what I have. Things with E continue to get better. Things with the Dread Pirate remain odd and disconcerting but I am working really hard on sorting all that out.

5.) Running. I've been doing it for nearly five weeks three times a week. I'm still not into it, but obligation works. I don't feel changed or even fitter, but, perseverance has a nice smug overtone to it. I'm still going.

Nothing is happening, summer ends, Reed starts. Is this the rest of life? I think I'm okay with that, but I don't know. What is a person supposed to do with their twenties? thoughts o' internet?

To end on a good note:
Random Fred Meyers encounter lead to much berrypicking and goodness. Lyssakins is speaking to me again and not even (I don't think) grudgingly, and even Amy (almost a year after room-mate madness) seems at least friendly, so I seem to manage to do very little permanent relationship damage. That's good. I guess it's the upside of being, at least most of the time, overly nice. I mean I dunno.

But these days I think I am learning precisely how little I know, how big the world is, and as I read belatedly on a friend's LJ, how special and wonderful Reed made me think I am. S'time to stop resting on my laurels, especially since they are largely imaginary.

life, rambles
