It's difficult to remember sometimes that I'm capable of a lot more than I'm doing now. Maybe it's depression, maybe it's just the crappy weather but it's so hard to get out of bed in the morning, let alone do my best in school and at work. Graduation is hanging over my head. What now? I have to clean up this mess somehow.

In any case, I'm ( Read more... )

Max is doing much better now. Some of you know from his journal what's been going on and some of you don't. Minor sledding accident --> major surgery. He basically shattered his elbow and after surgery on Monday, he has a plate and many screws in it. Tuesday post-op in the hospital was absolute misery for him because a large nerve was moved, ( Read more... )

It's been a long time and a lot has happened. Work has fully moved into the new building and I now bang away in another windowless office. Last fall's classes weren't great but I survived them. Classes this semester are reasonably enjoyable and fairly low stress. Writing for the Computer Industry and Advanced Professional Writing: Usability ( Read more... )

Today has been a good day so far. I woke up later than intended to meet Max at work downtown, so I simply went to his apartment instead. There's enough tomatoes and peppers to last until next week, so I don't mind missing the farmer's market too much. Bleary-eyed, I walked from my apartment to his- a couple of miles. He bought cheese danish ( Read more... )

Productivity gave way to watching Project Runway and Treasure Hunters on Max's tv last night. He's getting the keys to the new place on Thursday and nary a room is packed. Fortunately, there's overlap between the two leases. He worked 8pm-12am last night so he'll probably be up in awhile. There's a few things that I'd like out of the apartment ( Read more... )

This weekend could have been better. I nearly threw my back out again trying to move dressers from Max's apartment into the van. He ended up calling Pete to help him and then I was finally underway to my parents'. Driving the van can be a bit of an adventure in and of itself, but fortunately it ran okay all weekend (320-ish miles). The main ( Read more... )

I slept badly last night and feel completely out of sorts this morning. Hopefully, I'll feel better after lunch. Lazily enough, I drove to work this morning (partially so I can drop off the car at Max's since I'm taking the van this weekend). He emailed me to say that he took most of the stuff that was in the van, out, and then cleared off and ( Read more... )

My online paranoia has largely subsided, so it's back to regularly scheduled programming. With any luck, it's all fuzzy kittens and lollipops from now on.

The schedule for this fall has been pretty well sorted out. I'll work between 25 and 28 hours per week, while enrolled in 18 credit hours. Fortunately, sociology only meets one night per week ( Read more... )

This semester wrapped up in a wholly unexpected or even hoped for way. Of course, this means that it was far, far better than anticipated. 4 A's and 1 C (and I'm ecstatic about that C!). I feel like a huge burden is gone now that I know I won't have to repeat any classes. I honestly believed that one of those A's was a C or D. The professor ( Read more... )
