mmkay!
I know, i know, I open with the cliché "i-never-use-this-anymore" line and apologize to everyone. but seriously. I have been a brat about this, I've been so busy and had no time to even read posts let alone update.
HOWEVAH! It is time for the semi-annual Jessie news brief.
Classes = officially OVER and I am so righteously stoked. I can finally start leaning forward through the remaining days and fall right into my European adventure! I'm very pleased to have everything wrapping up, in a bizarre and twisted way, finals are my favorite part of the quarter. I know that basically sets in stone my nerdiness, but it's true. Everything else in the university world stops functioning, you get to mono-task for once all quarter, you do your shit, and you have a vacation to look forward to. I don't see what's not to love. I am sincerely going to miss my Italian prof, she's super hip and cute and a grad french student...she's amazing and I secretly want to be best friends with her. again...nerdiness confirmed.
I'm also very excited because I got the job I applied for this summer working as a conference assistant. basically it's like being a summer RA, except a few changes, some more admin work, and a little less discipline. It also scores me free housing and food (again!) and I get something like $1600 per month. We are pleased. [omigod i just spilled soy mocha all over my keyboard. I fail at life.] This means jessie will be in the OC over the summer, and I like visitors!!
My parents=sugar daddy and mommy, aparently. You know how uncomfortable money conversations are with parents? I somehow find it more awkward when they're giving me funds, i guess I feel like I don't deserve it. And no forced modesty here, I just don't want them to see me as a black hole in their account balance. But, I guess I'm the only kid at college, and I am their little girl, so if they're ok with it, I'm ok with it. This translates as: the Newmans are being veeeeeery generous about my trip, and I am basically wondering who has been raising me this whole time or if my parents have recently come into some blood money.
I <3 technology. My dad sent me a picture message of my grandmum over the phone, so i got to see her face. She's sitting up happily smiling as I remember her, so that was really comforting because in my head she's chartreuse and barely grasping at life. She's not at a billion percent capacity but she's not dead, either. Reality check accomplished.
This time next week I will be operating in Swiss francs and subjecting those neutral humans to my unique brand of french-italian-english jargon. Then to Prague! Fa-bu-lous.
i love your faces off.
