He had prayer before the quiz this morning. I wonder what that means?

"One more hour and my life will be through. . . "

I was forced to come in contact with a truly obcence number of pregnant women this afternoon. All of the Valentine's babies must be about due.

I'm just a small, slightly irrational, slightly ridiculous person who happens to be obsurdly conflicted about buying clothes.

I am Jane

"clutch we our sacraments as to Eden we draw near."

Suspension has always been the hardest thing for me to try and do.

Crawling back into a place I have been in so many dreams trying to bring them forth into the sunlight as I myself stand squinting.

my morning thus far

My consiousness realized itself again moments before Frankie's alarm went off. The blaring siren of it cut through my soul's attempt to adjust to life again, which was taking me a tad longer than usual this morning. In fact, it took me so long that I was only getting out of the shower 5 minutes before I needed to be at work. I stumbled blurry eyed and wet headed into my office only to be greeted by one of my favorite professors who was far too chirpy for this hour of the morning, or perhaps for this morning of the hour. I had barely seated myself when I was handed a course syllabi and requested to make 47 copies. Not a big deal but I forgot to press the staple button on the copy machine so I was forced to hand staple each syllabi because of course the department had gotten rid of its electronic stapler now that it has a copy machine that sorts and staples.

and I've only been clean for 46 minutes.

It's an odd feeling, almost out of body experience, seeing my campus laid out with a bunch of labels on everything, "Freshmen orientation this way", "cafeteria this way", "Stahl Center this way", like it's a giant game board, "pass go", "Park avenue".

The freshmen retreat went well. It was truly great to get to be a team captain and mentor a group of the freshmen for a few days. Knowing that I might have eased the transition into university life means a lot to me. Also, my group was AWSOME! way to go team #6 and the mystery bus 8/10!. It was a pleasure hanging out with you guys.

Right now I'm at work, making copies, labeling file folders and watching one needy dog.

Instant Karma

"Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear."

Have to love John Lennon (and no, this does not mean that I'm becoming a dove).

Today was day one of "team captain" training for the freshmen retreat. That's going to be fun. :D

I'm so excited. There are so many cool things happening in the next couple of weeks: freshmen retreat (love the mountains and a bunch of new people to top it off), my curly headed friend is soon back, Trixie is back and then new classes, yeah! (yes, I'm excited about that).

The only dark spot in all of this is that my dear friend Railcat won't be here. :(

Gothika, I'm really going to miss all of the late night, mutual sarcasm, setting up our own business as assassins, coffee shops, and the poetry open mike nite we never made it to.

All, in all I love september. :D

Well, I'm sitting in Frankie's room, using her computer, and at the moment, since she's gone to RA classes I have the entire hall to myself. pretty cool, huh? :p

lol, we hardly slept last night, too much talking.

I was supposed to start my new job this morning but my boss isn't going to be able to make it in so no work today. I'm going to sew instead. :)

"Garden State" is a completely awesome movie. Truly. you need to see it.

13 days :D
