end of school in sight = optimism
the sun being out, with not a cloud in sight, really helps the optimism though. it snowed half a foot here last week - the second day of spring (the first was beautiful...) but yeah that's michigan.
this half of the semester seems like it will be considerably better than the last, woohoo. not because of anything great, but i now have decent closure from the stephen business (i believe that it is mostly behind me, or at least that i am very happy now that i am me without him), and i brought my cats back to the apartment. maybe this second bit makes me a bit crazy, but having them here is like an ever-burning positive light (vastly different from the birds, gah). they were scared as hell after the initial drugged car trip and relocation to very foreign lands, but they are back to their absolutely wonderful selves. *love*
i'm still waiting to hear how much money monash thinks the government should give me and that is a bit stressful. i need the loans before i can buy the plane ticket (expensive, and going up as i type...sad face), or apply for my visa. or sign up for accommodations, etc. thus the stress...because all i can do is wait, ah!
my computer was contemplating suicide last night, and i'm really glad that i brought it back from the brink. it turns out that it overheated...i think. anyways, letting it take a little nap in the corner seemed to bring it back. it kind of scares me for the future though....i think i'll be regularly backing up school stuff to other sources so there isn't an awful catastrophe in my last semester, eep.
and i agree with olga - everyone should go outside and walk around - good for you in so many ways. :)
