I love the end of library book sales when all of the books are free. Enjoying some Thomas Moore wisdom. Will try to put my heart into my work, even though I'm not the data-checking, numbers type. It's so I can fund the stuff I love. Well, at least, it's so I can house and fuel myself so I can do the stuff I love ( Read more... )

All of the sudden:

I have a full-time summer job starting next Wednesday (workin` 8:30 to 5, what a way to make a living!),
Ken and I seem to have a place to live in the fall,

If people are lost, they'd rather be lost with someone than be alone ( Read more... )

So stuffed full of pizza, chicken kickers, and cinna-sticks. Shouldn't have gotten any of it ( Read more... )

Against Lindsay's advice, I studied a lot for the GRE verbal today: practice exam questions, vocab building, silly things. I have to maintain a competitive, it's-a-game, bring-it-on mentality, though I'm feeling some performance anxiety. I can always retake them and I'll do well. Same old interplay of choice and fate ( Read more... )
