Breathe In, Breathe Out

Oh boy. So much reading, so little time. I guess I need to consider cutting back on the sleeping?

Meh. :o(

I Comb the Crowd and Pick You Out

I think I will consider buying these boots:



Do you support that decision? I mean, I think I really just want some boots that are mostly flat and pretty cute. I haven't found any others that I like that are not $600 or something ridiculous yet, so I might get these. I found them online, of course. Woohoo. They come in black as well, but I think I prefer the brown. We shall seeeeeeeeee. I have to check out the monies.

I think I am writing a historiographical paper about Egypt for my British Empire class. But... um... do I have to narrow that down? I don't know and my professor did not really say. I feel overwhelmed, but you knew that.

Climbing Up to the Mountain Cause You Asked Me to

So K came over on Friday afternoon and assisted me in straightening my hair and then gave the ends a little trim. I hadn't had it cut since... December 2008. Seriously. Anyway, it needed it. I'm just always wary of having people cut it who don't understand my hair. I bet I could find someone around here who would know, but for now I am content to have K help. Anyway, I took a shower this afternoon to wash it and get it back to normal and when I got out, I was actually startled by how short it looks. It touches my shoulders, but I was surprised. We didn't cut that much off, though. I think I'm just crazy. Maybe. Probably.

CLRG and I had a delightful day yesterday. We went out in the morning to get his car washed and buy car detailing supplies and then went to Ritter's Diner in... Bloomfield(?). I did some homework and laundry during the day and later on, we drove to Wheeling, West Virginia to watch the Wheeling Nailers and the Johnstown Chiefs play hockey. It was a good time and a fun day. :o)

No Amount of Coffee, No Amount of Crying, No Amount of Whiskey, No Amount of Wine...

Oh ho ho. Art History is going to be iiiiiinteresting. Not necessarily in a good way. I had my first class last night and came out of it feeling more overwhelmed and confused than I have felt about a class in a long, long time. I hope I get a better understanding pretty soon. Historic Preservation is going to be interesting in probably a good way. There's a lot of reading to do, but it's more of what I am interested in. [Aside: should I be eating sour gummy worms before 10am?]

It is sunny and warmer here than it has been. Like 30 degrees! MAYBE EVEN UP TO 40!!!!! I'm breaking out the flip flops.

Yesterday, I submitted my resume for a job. Yikes!

Okay. Homework and laundry await. Woo.

Sugar Blue

I can't believe the holidays are gone. And the semester has begun! Where did the break go? Seriously.

The holidays were good this year, but very different from holidays past. My family was mostly separated and it was really hard, but everyone survived. I liked being lazy over break. I had wanted to do some job-search type stuff, but that didn't really happen. I read a lot, and hung out with CLRG a lot, and worked as usual. Nice times.

I had my first class of my last semester of graduate school today. History of the British Empire. It was okay. I took the bus and got there in record time (Yay for the 67H!). Class lasted only half an hour, but that was fine because I need to ease back into this. Next week, I have my first classes of Historic Preservation as well as American Painting and Sculpture. I don't have an internship for the first time in a year and it will be very strange to go back to having three courses. Yikes!!

I need to be better about updating this. I'll work on it.
