Walls Are Caving In

I have to confess something:

I do not like my internship.

I've been trying not to admit this for many, many weeks, but it is becoming increasingly clear that I am not a fan. K and CK have internships that are fun and exciting. Their bosses are cool and talk to them frequently. RM and I are at the same place and having a lot less fun. Our boss person rarely speaks to us. He clearly favors the interns from his alma mater. I literally have to follow him around to get him to talk to me. I have been working on the same project for the entire semester, sitting at a table, all alone. *sigh* It's frustrated, because I wanted to like it. I thought it would be cool, but I always try to think of a reason not to go. I am going to discuss things with RM tomorrow to decide what our course of action should be. Yesterday, we agreed not to mention it to our professor until after the semester is over, but K's boss said we should talk about it sooner rather than later. It's a sticky situation, you see. My favorite...

The Paper Boy's At It Again, But I Can't Get No Sleep

Okay. I was doing really well today. I left my internship at the ketchup early and came home to get going on the seriously neglected reading I have still yet to complete. I waited for Elle at work and read. I went to CLRG's house and read. But then... I came home... and now I am exhausted and the reading has hit a roadblock. I think I pretty much napped for the past hour. Bad, I know. Bad. Now my goal is to have the reading done by 3am. I could do that. Maybe I could then write some of the book review from three until four and then I can sleep until 6:30 and then get up for work. God. This is such a bad idea.

I did get some of those cherry passion tic tacs when I went to the store to get more coke. Ooh, and Chex Mix! The tic tacs are seriously delicious. They will not last through the night. No, indeed.

And, p.s., while we are discussing things that are bad ideas... I got another shift for the weekend. I'm totally cool with that. I want the hours. The only thing is... it's the 6am shift on Saturday. And now my schedule for the rest of the week is: Thursday at 7am, Friday at 6, Saturday at 6, Sunday at 6. Not. That. Awesome. I was looking forward to sleeping in a little bit on Saturday. *sigh* This happened because Elle got a promotion, though, so it's for a good cause. I think she's going to be a fabulous manager. :o)

Annnnnd... I think you should know that my favorite thing in Chex Mix are the delicious, delicious chex. I like the little chip thingers a lot and I think they used to be my favorite, but I definitely love the chex the most now. When I am at the ketchup, I get Chex Mix at lunch and save the chex for last. Mmmm. Deeeelightful.

In The Dark, I Thought I Heard Somebody Call

I am very excited right now. Here are reasons why:

-Elle has Big Stupid Happy Face
-Pooks is planning to come visit during her Spring Break
-Gull and others might come visit at the end of March

Dinner for K's birthday went well. CLRG, Buddy, Elle, and Davers attended. We went to G's and then K and Davers came over for cake at our house. Marble cake with strawberry butter cream frosting. From scratch. Mmm. So delicious. We had a fun time.

I have a lot of work to do this week, as usual, but I really don't want to do it. Surprised?

If You Get Scared, Just Hold My Hand

So Valentine's Day was yesterday. CLRG talked about taking me to a monster truck show for a really long time and I thought that was what might be happening (although I was still suspicious that he might have a trick up his sleeve) until he called and said that I could back out of it if I wanted. I told him I would really rather just hang out with him, so I went over to his house and we took a nap and he made dinner. I gave him a sweatshirt that he had been wanting around Christmas time. I think he liked it, because he was surprised when he saw it and put it on immediately and looked super happy. I also made him a really classy valentine using construction paper, crayons, doilies, glitter and the art skills I acquired in the third grade:

I think it was a successful endeavor. He put it up on a shelf in his living room.

Today is K's birthday. We're going out to dinner at G's. Buddy baked a cake, Elle picked up a gift certificate for her for Dozen, I picked out a funny card. I think it will be the four of us at dinner plus CLRG and possibly a couple of people from school. I think she's excited about it and I am glad.

Elle just reminded me this afternoon of how soon Spring Break will be upon me. CLRG and I talked about doing something, possibly going to Philadelphia, but we haven't talked about it in a while. I should bring it up. I want to get out of here and see something new, even for a weekend. Hmmmmmmm.

How Terribly Strange to be Seventy

Well, there are approximately 11 days until Spring Training games begin for my beloved Tigers. I am so excited for baseball season this year, it is not even funny. Cupcake texted me yesterday to remind me that los Tigres would be in town to play the Pirates this season, in June. I have been anticipating this for months. She also said that she watched a video that gave her the chills. I just watched it, too, and oh boy. Yes. Chills. CHILLS. This is going to be one awesome season. I can just tell. :o)

Say What You Will

Elle and I went to Target today. We both had the day off and we got paid this weekend, so it worked out. I was hoping to find some new shirts, but none struck my fancy. I will have to go back soonish and get a new bathing suit because they have some really cute ones. Instead of shirts or bathing suits, I bought:

-two new bras (bright, happy colors!)
-underwear
-a black cardigan
-a nightgown
-these shoes
-face wash
-nail polish
-super cute owl photo frame

We went to Taco Bell afterward, which was delightful. It was a quality day. I spent more than I really should have, but I'm okay with that. Haha.

Everyone's At It

It must be the weather. It has to be. I am so unfocused and so unmotivated right now. I have a ton of stuff due tomorrow and I am only on thing #1. Awesome. Or not.

I'm going to a Penguins game with CLRG this evening. I am actually pretty excited about it. I am wearing a really old (okay, okay. 1991) Stanley Cup tshirt right now (I am secretly vying to own it, but he's only loaned it to me at this point) and at the game, we will each sport one of his Crosby jerseys. It will be a delightful time.

Starfish and Coffee, Maple Syrup and Jam

The Steelers won the Super Bowl on Sunday night! It was a crazy game. I watched the game at CLRG's house with some of his friends and Elle. I was wearing a Bettis jersey, waving a Terrible Towel, and jumping on the couch. When they won, I could hear fireworks all over the neighborhood. People were screaming, waving Towels from their cars and lighting things on fire in Oakland. Ridiculous. CLRG is still beaming. It makes me really happy when he smiles like that.

In other news, I am so completely psyched to move with Elle to a super cute apartment come August, when this lease is up. We have lots of grand plans are determined to have the cutest apartment ever. I really just want that time to come now. I'm tired of waiting. Haha. Impatient? Oh, probably.
