Today is my first day of classes. I found out last night that my Spanish teacher has been changed to the first one that I had here. I did NOT like her. So I'm going to try out the first day and switch if I need to. I don't even want to go to the first day, but I have this fear that if I change now I'll just end up adding a professor who's even ( Read more... )

I'm here!! The move-in went (relatively) smoothly, but by the end of the day I was so irritable. I hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before and I think I got some heat stroke in Florida so I've felt hung over since Wednesday. It's getting better though ( Read more... )

Tonight is my last summer night. Life always seems bigger and more scary when you think in absolutes like that. I am definitely looking forward to school, but I'm equally spooked about another round of this transition from one world to the other ( Read more... )

I'm going to start with the most recent, because it's the most fresh in my mind. I just finished The Birth of Venus, and it was excellent. Probably the best book I have read all summer. And now I have this kind of dull but deep sadness that it's over. Bummer. I read it so quickly, which is probably contributing to the sadness. Oh well, must make ( Read more... )

I'm writing because I feel obligated. No, that makes me feel bad. I just haven't felt lately like sitting around and writing about my life. Maybe because there's such a big transition in front of me that it doesn't feel like I would be able to adequately describe it anyway. Or maybe it's just because I'm in the middle of a really good book and a ( Read more... )

Hot Hank and I decided to go out to dinner on Thursday. So of course I was excited, but not overly excited. I don't really like him much anymore and I'm leaving. On top of that, he wants to go to the restaurant and the whole idea of that makes me a little uncomfortable ( Read more... )

I got off of work early and my mom wasn't answering her phone. I figured that she was probably at a loud place and just couldn't hear it. I got Kim to pick me up and drive me home. I opened the door at home and heard rushed footsteps upstairs. I slammed the door loudly behind me to make sure they heard me. Sure enough, my mom's phone was on the ( Read more... )

I'm starting to get a little sad about leaving. I'm also getting excited, which is probably why I'm getting sad. The more excited I get, the more I remember all sorts of little aspects about school, which now feel more foreign. So the memories make me happy but also scared to leave ( Read more... )

I've been thinking lately about how I am starting a new school year and how, despite the fact that I'm returning to the same place, it's kind of a chance to do things differently. I started thinking about how New Year's resolutions are kind of wasted on new numerical years because nothing really ever changes. It would be a different thing if, on ( Read more... )

When I walked into work this morning, one of my bosses told me that I got a great review on my Mystery Shopper Report. I was so surprised. "What? From when?!" I asked him. Turns out the guests that I had suspected of being secret shoppers on Wednesday actually were. I got a 100% on the report, a score for which the bosses give me a free $50 gift ( Read more... )
