Annoyed at red tape
SERIOUSLY!!!!! I am sick and tired of freakin' waiting to hear from NIU!!!!!! GAH!!!! This is just hell!!!
Apparently EIU is wanting me to sign my papers that I'm going to stay here by the 30th of this month. I'm trying to find out who I can talk to in order to try for an extension ... even by a week. And then I'm needing to get a loan to finish ( Read more... ) -

Year in Review
So towards the end of every year, I always find myself looking back to the prior 360 or so days and rating it against the other years of my life. 2006 proved to be quite the trying of years.

Sadness
As many of you already know, a dear friend of ours was lost yesterday afternoon while on his way to work. To work at a job that he hated but he went anyway. A man who had dreams of attending college again and gaining a degree that would enable him to help people everyday of his life.
Little did he realize that he was already helping people every ( Read more... ) -
Phone 'chat'
After a 2 and 1/2 hour long conversation with Emily I'm feeling particularly girly and particularly attached to my old friend!!! I knew I'd missed her but I narrowly forgot how long we could talk for!!! Just about stuff! So yeah, this just made me soooo happy! Between Gretchen yesterday, talking to Pam for half an hour today, Bridget being here all ( Read more... ) -
Complete lack of motivation
I can not get motivated to do ANYTHING and it sucks really bad because it is doing nothing but making me feel worse. I finally got motivated to make some damn coffee this morning about 15 mins ago. Finished off the last of my Marshal Fields Frango Mint coffee ... seemed somehow fitting now that Fields is Macy's, damn New York. My apartment is ( Read more... )
