Someone stole most of my posters today. I'm really glad that I spent almost a month and $2000 on these events since the bard community seems so receptive to them.
Also Marta informed me last night that she is going to "take over" EPC since I'm not fulfilling my duties as chair. If she had actually asked me about it though, she would have found out that I have a meeting set with the deans today to talk about evaluations, and I actually had a whole idea about how to assign evaluations this year that is now out the window because she decided to take it upon herself to assign people. I really like being told I'm not doing my job when I actually am. It's a great feeling of being appreciated.
So I'm glad I put so much time into doing stuff for the bard community.

Playing street fighter with Marc today (and beating him into the ground) = amazing.
I think this is what I need to feel more connected to myself.

I bought ballet shoes yesterday and they are gorgeous. I think they're one of my new favorite possessions already.
I'm still not sure whose life I'm currently living, but I've basically decided that I'm going to just enjoy it right now.
However, I have to maintain some of my old priorities that seem to have been forgotten. I've been so busy I haven't been able to spend much time with my residents or my homework...and both are starting to notice that they've been ignored.
I've had so little free time that my room feels foreign to me as do my typical routines (like I haven't really read lj or the webcomics I read daily for about a week). I can't think of the last time I've been alone without an immediate agenda in awhile; I really feel like I've just been in my room to grab something and then it's off again to another engagement.
I really need to start working on my project. I think part of me doesn't really believe that classes have started yet...but that's probably because I'm taking the most ridiculous classes ever.

I don't know how I'm going to finish packing. I stayed up till 2:30 last night, and I'm still not done - but now I feel delightfully sick!
I have to leave for work now. Eep. And somehow I have to find time to go get an oil change in oneida today. Don't know how that's going to happen. If anyone wants to peruse wal-mart with me for an hour today before I leave forever - call my phone.

Yeah...half the stuff on my list just isn't going to get done. I'm spending my birthday packing.
Speaking of the ridiculousness of my life, it's kinda funny who the very first person to wish me happy birthday was, especially compared to who still hasn't.
Yay being vague about two people who I think quite a few of you can figure out!
|
|
| Things I have to do before leaving: |
[29 Jul 2008|08:23am] |
1. Pack (but where will I find time to do this)
2. Go to work every day this week.
3. Prepare for the conference I can barely go to.
4. Sort out money stuff for college (1. call student accounts, 2. call hinman)
5. call andrea since she hasn't responded to my email
6. finish ff3
7. finish "We Were the Mulvaneys"
8. See everyone.
9. Spend time with my mom
10. Run errands for my job (buying water bottles for the conf., etc.)
11. Oil change
12. Get car door fixed
And there's probably more..but I'm gonna be late for work!

It's funny how exciting it is to send a single message to someone you don't even know you missed. Hamza is going to let me sleep in his room when we're both staying in Robbins. I was kinda nervous he'd be like "you're seriously afraid of having a room alone in Robbins?" but he wrote back excited about having a sleepover and playing video games!
The other day Will asked me how my relationship with my female friends differs from my relationships with my male friends, and I told him that I really don't have that many close female friends (I have great female friends but the quantity is smaller than that of my male friends - in fact, the majority of my friends at home are male, I would say I only have 3 female friends at home that aren't my sister or boss/staff at my office while I have double that many male friends at home). I think I've always known this, but not nearly as consciously as when he asked that question. Which made me think about this request to Hamza. If either Kassandra or Salena were at school on august first, I no doubt would have emailed one of them first and not worried at all. Then Hamza cut the potential awkwardness of writing on my facebook wall that he was excited about our sleepover by mentioning that he was going to destroy me at video games. And video games are what I share in common with most of my male friends.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. I just find it interesting because I really do have an abnormal amount of male friends. Erin was talking to me the other day about how you really can't have a male friend without sexual tension. Which to some point I do agree, especially because it's usually caused by outside sources (for example, how EVERYONE constantly asks when Marc and I are going to date). And honestly, if I think of all my male friends, I can't think of one friendship in which some sort of sexual tension wasn't/isn't present. So I think my general question to my livejournal audience is why is it so difficult for a girl to be friends with a guy without any sort of sexual tension (either from outside their friendship or within)?

I have spent all day watching wimbledon. I turned it on at 9am this morning and the match got done around 4:30 this afternoon. It was ridiculous.

One of my summer goals has been completed (picture on the right)
It was a fun knitting project and Erin seemed the really enjoy it (her graduation present from me). The song featured on it is the first two measures of "Ode to Joy," which happens to be rather useful in case of a tiger attack.
Otherwise, I've been rather lethargic. Man, summer is already half over. The nice thing is, I don't have any more traveling to do this summer (while the pay is good, it's super tiring and I feel like I haven't even been properly home yet since I've slept in a hotel/retreat center/dorm room almost once a week every week in June). Now that I'm done traveling, I'm going to have to buckle down and start working in the office. My other goals for July are to start working on that senior project of mine and to practice my guitar.
Sadly this week is going to suck because I have to get my car fixed (apparently even dealers in syracuse are very shifty! I found out this week my car shouldn't have passed inspection. However, it's covered by my warranty...so I just have to deal with it (which sucks). Yay for people sucking!

Summer is already almost half over (where did most of June go?), and I've spent most of my time working. Senior project? What's that? The strict summer schedule I made? WHOOPS.
I've enjoyed substituting a lot, but when I get home all I want to do is lie down on the couch and watch bad tv until I fall asleep. Watching kindergartners takes a lot out of you! And then when I spent this weekend speaking the thought of writing crossed my mind, but then I found myself passed out on my bed at eleven p.m. So basically: I've been working a lot, and it's left me so tired that I haven't gotten anything else done. I need some motivation.
I think part of the problem is my schedule too. I just kinda want to jump in and write, but my schedule dictates that I should be in preparation mode for writing (ie. reading related texts and re-reading what I've already written). I'm thinking about just disregarding the schedule right now (since I'm 2 weeks behind anyway) and doing whatever. Who knows.
So yeah - that's been on my mind for awhile. What else is new? Erin and I got netflix! We're going to be watching a lot of random movies if anyone has any suggestions.
That's about it. West Virginia was pretty. My car has been serving me very well. I found out today that the tinting on the front windows is probably illegal, which I already suspected because it's so dark. Whoops. I'll have to look into that law.
Alright. I'm done rambling. Continue on with your lives.

I'm buying a car:
( pictures )
It's a 97 Honda Civic. I'm getting a really good price and a warranty from the dealer. I'm pretty excited..but I'm just worried I'm going to call the guy back tomorrow morning and he's going to tell me he sold it already (which is unlikely...I called him this afternoon about it and he said it was still available). So..yay!

The semester is over, but I haven't really had a breather yet. I've been working, writing presentations, or stressing about paper revisions/make-up work that I delegated to do over the break. But I'm all done with that now, and I don't have that much work to do this week (my boss is on vacation). I spent a whirlwind weekend in Lake George that involved a lot of being pissed off at reality check coordinators and not enough sleep. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get to finally unpacking (something that just didn't happen because I was called in to substitute the day after I got home) and, thus, beginning summer. I think I'll let myself play some video games tomorrow. That should be sweet.
