Goodness, how this month has flown by! Holy cats. I can't believe it's the last day of the month already. School is in grand swing, and things are going pretty well. I got hired the other day as the brand new Associate Editor for the Oracle, which is pretty cool because the campus paper is actually quite a good one for the most part. I'm also still busy with being HIRC secretary and still doing some NCC business, plus I'm getting sort of re-involved with Inter-Varsity and working at the Wesley Center again, so combine those things with my homework and I don't exactly have tons of free time floating around. My classes are really interesting though, for the most part, and I'm glad I'm taking them. I especially enjoy my British Lit. class and Ethics, but Lit. Theory and my "Disease and Society in International Perspectives" are going okay, too. I think. I hope.
Anywho, though, I have class later tonight (6:30) and I have to do my British Lit. as well as eat dinner before class and meet with my debate team at 5:30 before class, so I'm off for the evening.

ah, such is life.
Hey, everyone, guess what!??! I'm still at work and I'm still bored. But it's cool because I only have three more hours to be here...haha. Aaargh. Ok. New rule for this post; no more whining. I do far, far too much of it anyway.
I heard from Krystle today, which was super. Golly gosh whizzbang, I miss that girl! I don't know what to do without her. I'm like, "Hmm...I want to see a movie with Krystle!" And then I pick up the phone to call her and then I remember that she is in New York, for cryin' out loud. She called me the other night (if briefly) to excitedly tell me that she had just come within like a foot of Hugh Jackman. My jealousy, needless to say, is immense.
I have not heard from Leslie now since the last time I saw him, which was a rather awkward event that took place a couple of weeks ago...though I did hear from my roommate that he randomly stopped by our room to offer to hook up her new computer. I thought that was a bit strange and a little weird, that he knew where our room was and that he got in with his tech keys to do that. But as my mother said, if we were just friends and we had never dated, I probably wouldn't think anything of it. I countered with the argument that if we had never dated, he probably wouldn't be offering to do that for Brit in the first place. I'm probably stressing about it too much, but I can't help it. I hate to say it, but things were left so awkwardly between us that I cannot help feeling a little weirded out by what he did. Hamline, though, is a rather small campus and I suppose I ought to just get used to the idea that I'm going to have to run into him all year anyway. I just don't want to. I would rather (selfish and terrible as this is) spend my time thinking about other things. It was never as good a relationship as I thought it ought to be. I think there was seemingly so much in him that I thought I wanted or should want that I talked myself into believing it was a better, healthier relationship than it ever truly was. Shame on me. And none of that is his fault, because the problems I saw in the relationship are things he never thought of. Ironically, that's what the problem WAS- our priorities and ideas of what the relationship ought to be were so different that I now know I'm so much better off as I am. Sigh. If only I'd realized it sooner.
Hmm. Well, I guess that's not at all complaining, though it is a most melancholy post. However, I do feel better and I have whiled away another twenty minutes or so of my work shift, so 'tis a deed well done.

ho-hum...
Well, I've been at work for a grand total of...let's see...28 minutes and already I'm bored. I'm afraid it's going to be a long night, however, it's going to be my very last long night, as this is the last time I will close this office. I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but all on day shifts, so I am nearing the finish now. I will be so glad to get back to school! I'm actually quite looking forward to most of my classes; the only one I'm a tad nervous about is my Literary Theory class because I hear the prof. is a bit of an ogre. This is most unfortunate, as I am an English major and she is the head of the department, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will like me!
In my English-major nerdiness, I have been lately re-reading many of my classic favorites- I've been on a particularly large Jane Austen kick and have already re-read "Emma" and "Pride and Prejudice." I need most especially to re-read "Northanger Abbey" though, for I've read it only once before and if I intend to declare myself a true Jane Austen fan, I have concluded that I must be able to say that I've read all of her complete novels multiple times, and this is currently a true statement with the singular exception of "Northanger Abbey." Haha! I just re-read that paragraph, and its form and structure seem to reveal how engrossed I have been in Austen lately. It actually sounds a little pretentious, but that's okay.
I had been planning to visit St. Ben's/St. John's tomorrow but I do not now foresee that happening. I'm so busy trying to get all the rest of my things organized for going back to school that I still have quite a lot of cleaning and packing and organizing to do, and I really ought to visit my grandparents tomorrow as well. Ashley and I talked about having dinner in St. Cloud on Monday night; perhaps she can talk Caitlin and/or Jake into coming with as well...
Well, this post is getting rather long and tedious and is likely of very little interest to anyone but my own self, so off I go to do...well, something.
