Some Dance to Remember, Some Dance to Forget

Ughhhh. Look at the time. I have to wake up at like 5:30 to get showered and ready for work (must clock in at 6:30) and I am not done with my paper. I must finish before any sleeping- I mean, napping, really- because I work 6:30 until maybe 4 and then I have class. BLAH...

In happier news, my dad booked tickets for me and CLRG to go visit Idaho in June. I'm really excited. YAY!

I've Been Overwhelmed, I've Been Uninspired

Oh my goodness. Every time I look up at my calendar of doom, I have a little bit of a heart attack. In like a week, I'll be done with my first year of grad school. Museum Studies and Reform in America and my internship at the Ketchup will be behind me. I have the summer to look forward to: a very exciting internship, a trip to visit the Gem State, a visit from the g-rents, spending time with CLRG and Elle, eventually moving into our new apartment, etc. I'm really excited about all of those things... but right now I am feeling a little bit stressed about getting everything done. And yet not really stressed at all. My apathy is scaring me.

This is the Joy That's Seldom Spread

Elle's birthday was Friday and we celebrated in a grand fashion. Pie at work, dinner, drinks at the Cage. I think she had a fun day, which makes me smile. Tappity tap tap!!

CLRG, Elle, K and I went to a Punchline concert last night. It was a ton of fun. CLRG, since he is friends with the band, was on the list and I was his plus one. I was pretty jazzed, because that's a pretty cute thing. He and I hung out outside and by the bar for most of the opening acts, talking to all of his friends and former fellow band members and people from that scene. The Punchline show was pretty awesome. They were filming for their DVD, premiering their new video, and playing a new song all in one night. We had a quality time. After the show, CLRG and I took K and Elle home and then got something to eat and went to the South Side to hang with his friends for a little while. I had a Coke and laughed at the drunk people. :oD

In other news, I put off writing my paper and final essay for one of my classes for far too long. I need to get moving on that and make some serious headway today and tomorrow (I don't think I'm working, which is helpful). I know I'll get everything done, I'm just annoyed with myself for being so predictable and putting things off. Oh well.

How Do You Sleep?

Oh man, oh man, oh man. We went to look at that apartment again. When CLRG and I were in a room away from the landlord, he looked at me and said, "Get it."

The landlord is sending a lease soon, we'll move in mid-August. I'm sooooo ridiculously excited.

So Glide Away on Soapy Heels

Oh, baby, is it ever crunch time. I have a million things due next week and neither the time nor the motivation to do the work. It'll happen, of course. It always does. *sigh*

In happier news, Elle and I looked at an apartment on Monday evening and we absolutely fell in love with it. It's adorable. The top two floors of a house. There is a full bathroom, eat-in kitchen, living room and small extra room on the 2nd floor and then two bedrooms and another full bathroom on the 3rd floor. It's relatively affordable for the neighborhood in which we live and compared to the places we've seen ads for online. We're going back to see it this evening when Elle is out of work and CLRG is coming with us (you know, to ask manly questions and be all official and whatnot) and I am going to take my camera. Elle took photos on Monday, but we were so excited, that we were distracted and she only got like 5 or something. Haha. Would it be bad to just jump on this one without really looking elsewhere? I don't want it to slip away. It's basically perfect.

Are Your Breathing Patterns on Time, Did You Wake Up in the Morning Breathing Fire?

Ohhhhhhh boy. I took a nap when I got home from work this afternoon and, upon awakening, I got a charlie horse in my left calf muscle. NOT COOL. It wasn't as bad as one I had while at Albion when I woke up screaming in the middle of the night, but it was painful. Thankfully, I kept my cool and calmly stretched it out. Damn, though. Damn.

Work was ridiculous today. I was alone on the line until 9am, when Little J came in and then Pauls came at 10. Thankfully, Citizen S was able to let the new cook come out and help me. He ran orders out and did other things that didn't require a lot of instruction. Things got busy starting at like 7:30am and were still flying when I left after 1. It was seriously insane. It is times like those that make me want to scream. I don't have time to eat or drink or use the bathroom. I can only take orders and make sandwiches. The BEST part, though, is when customers get pissed when they do not get their orders instantaneously. Guess what, ma'am? You had to stand in a long line to order... it's probably safe to assume you'll have to wait more than 5 minutes for your food. Ugh. One old lady yelled at me and told me to make her sandwich first. I told her to shut up and then I punched her in the face. Just kidding. I told her that we did orders in the order they were taken. She wasn't pleased. Whatevs.

Tonight, I think I am attending a shindig with CLRG. I hope it will be fun. It's at the home of one of his coworkers and sometimes those parties end up being me sitting on the couch with a beer while everyone smokes outside and talks in computer speak. He's good about remembering me, though, and that makes me happy. I like his friends.

FAFSA time! Go Go Gadget Federal Aid!

Lookin for Fun and Feelin Groovy

Oh me, oh my. I haven't written in a week! Oh boy!

I don't really have much to say today. The weather is beautiful here. I have my bedroom windows open and I did some cleaning in my room and felt kind of springy. Yay.

Easter went well. Sunday evening, I went out with CLRG and his sister and her boyfriend and got really, really drunk. Really. Like, lost-my-contacts drunk. Oh boy. Monday was a rough day.

Time is ticking toward the end of the semester. I have so much to do and so little motivation. Awesome? No...

This Time I Really Think I'm in Love

I was scheduled to go to EDMC today. I got the phone call saying that I didn't have to come in about 20 minutes ago. Last week, I was super glad to get the call because I was really sick. Today, I am glad but also a little disappointed because I would have added hours to my paycheck and possibly gotten some good tips. Oh, well. I have time to do laundry and homework and be slow about my activities and that's cool with me. I think I will begin with a nap.

He's a Real Nowhere Man

*sigh* Oh, Easter Break, I have pined for you for ages. I am so pleased you have finally arrived. No class tonight, no class on Tuesday. Huzzah! I am going to convince CLRG to color eggs with me tomorrow or Saturday. He didn't seem opposed when I brought it up the other day. We are going to his parents' house for Easter. I am slightly nervous, since it is the first major holiday I will be spending there, but I like his parents so I think it will be okay. We're staying over on Sunday night. He and his dad will change the oil in my car, I will do homework, we will hang out. Delightful. I am very sad to not be spending Easter with some portion of my family, though. I don't think anyone is going to my grandparents', not even Pooks, not even my aunt and uncle. I'm sad about it- I feel bad. I think they might go to their niece's house at some point, though, so that works out.

Have I mentioned that I am excited for summer? I can not wait to read what I want to read. I can not wait to do an internship for FUN and work (I don't reeeeeeally want to do this, but it is unavoidable. haha.) and to hang out with my friends and CLRG. Oh boy. I'm so ready. It's coming up much faster than I realize. My last final is on the 5th of May and then I'm freeeeeeeeeeee!! Speaking of the internship, though, it was finalized the other day that I will be an intern in the archives at the Warhol. I'm SO jazzed because I'll be working on the time capsule project, looking through Ol' Andy's random boxes of stuff. So awesome, right? Yes, indeed.

Today, I went shopping with K because I was in search of those elusive black pants for work. I found some, finally, at Macy's. I also purchased this purse (I bought the one that is multi colored on that page) because it was really cute and I was excited about it. I also found two shirts on sale (one of which I will probably wear for Easter dinner). Then, we went to Target where I found a few things that I need for around the house as well as this book. I am a bad girl. But I am pleased with myself, so how does that work out?

I Can't Let You Disappear

I was feeling homesick for Da Och this morning. I listened to Cupcake's Ocho mix while I showered. I printed this picture to hang on my wall:

Living in Da Och was sort of like living in a bubble. A bubble within the LBN bubble. Kind of strange, but true. I spent pretty much every moment I had there and it was heavenly. We did crazy things. I miss our board of quotations and our beautifying experiments on A. I miss dancing on chairs, singing into kitchen utensils. I miss our fabulous parties and the campus safety busts. I really do. I mostly just miss living with 9 of my best friends. It was a treat, you know? I haven't seen A or Twist since graduation... almost two years ago. HOLY SHIT. I graduated two years ago. Lord. It's getting hard for me to remember things from college, which makes me feel both very old and very sad. *sigh*

Hold on for one more day.

Did You Get My Message?

I've had a cold for the past few days. I am not excited about it, but I am excited about the fact that I have been doing a decent job in kicking its ass. Oh yes. Of course, I was particularly sick this morning and I was supposed to go in at like 9am but, thankfully, got a call at 7:30am saying I was not needed. I kept sleeping. I spent the day being guiltily lazy. I ate some ramen, watched Emma, slept, etc. It was nice and I feel like I am improved, but I also feel like I should have been doing homework instead. Hmm. It's a slippery slope. I hope to be completely over this by the end of the weekend. We'll see how it goes.
