Friday:
I worked at Borders today for the first time since September and it went well, so cash was earned and I got to do something productive. Totally excited to use my employee discount to buy a copy of Bat-Manga. Got to hang out with John and Zach and partake in hiijinks/hunt for pez. |

It's beginning to feel a great deal like Christmas and that makes me happy. I need to start doing some Christmas shopping, possibly today.
My improv show with The Shambles last week went really well and I may be performing in the last one of the semester next week. They are awesome kids and I will miss them.
I emailed my boss at Borders and will be working there for the two weeks I'm home. This is kind of a necessary evil, as I'd rather use that time to hang out with people, but I'm going to need some money.
Hard to believe I'm going to be home in 17 days. This semester went by really quickly, I have to believe the four weeks of almost back to back papers helped in that aspect. It's weird thinking about going back to McDaniel, it feels like I've been away from there for much longer (though I guess I have since I haven't had classes there since May).
Pretty excited about my classes next semester: I'm taking Film Analysis, Scriptwriting, some English Major requirement filling Lit analysis class and Astrobiology (Which is apparently a pretty easy class about theoretical alien life. Lots of movies are watched). I also may be taking a non-credit math class that will get my horrible public school system math skills back in shape in order to take the math equivalency test I have to pass to graduate.
I can't stop thinking about Marina and I'm really worried about how stuff goes when I get back, even though I know I shouldn't be. I can't decide if she doesn't want to get back together or if she's just waiting until she sees me to tell me how she feels. In any case, she's apparently getting me a christmas present, so I guess thats a good sign? I'm mentally preparing myself to be heartbroken, but hopefully being home with family and friends will soften that blow. I know I should probably just forget about her until I get home, but that was pretty much what I did when Alex and I broke up and it just made things worse ultimately.
I found out I have to turn in a revised version of my first English essay as well as write an "essay" comparing Sappho/English poetry for my english class which won't be collected or looked at by my seminar professor. This is frustrating because I thought I really only had to do some reading and study for my Archaeology final. It's certainly not the end of the world and it really isn't that much work, but uggghhhhh. My first English paper was kind of a mess too, but I'm going to just try and knock it out this saturday and change as much as I can without having to go back and do more research. I'm not at all prepared for this Archaeology final, which is silly because all I have to do is answer one essay question in an hour. Next week will be spent studying powerpoints and notes.
Guys, Dinosaur Kingdom is not open during December/January! This means we can't go (though I'd be down for it during spring break/the summer). We have to come up with something else. Something awesome.
Zac Bittner's incredibly entertaining, sprawling epic of a Facebook note is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, if only for the Pat/Zac flamewar.
it's 2 in the afternoon and I still haven't showered, should prolly do that.
Later skaters. |

The fact that I'm leaving in less than three weeks has begun to sink in, which is exciting/terrifying all at once.
I think this semester is going to be the shock to the system I really need right now. I'm already feeling isolated and I haven't even left yet, but I think the complete cultural change is going to force me to not dwell on the whole Marina thing and homesickness, I'm really relieved that the dorms are set up in a way that kind of forces you to get to know people, since it's got a shared kitchen for the 10 people in the surrounding rooms.
This is my last week at Borders, though I'm probably coming back to work the two weeks I'm in Columbia before Jan term starts. Today actually went by really quickly, which was weird because it was like 8 and a half hours and I spent most of it at the kiosk. I also ran into two friends of mine from McDaniel and John Sisson, which was nice, but was kind of surreal. Aside from how slow it can get and my occasionally menopausal boss, I enjoyed working there and generally felt like I was good at my job, which is a plus.
Currently in the process of trying to add as much music to my laptop as I can before I leave. I need to start packing soon, locate some plug adapters/voltage converters.
Comic Con is this weekend, which is something I used to really prep for every year, but it seems pretty small compared to leaving. Definitely excited though.
I know I've been pretty down in the dumps in general lately, but I certainly feel better than I did last summer around this time. Because even after the shittiness of the last few weeks/month, I really can't feel bad for myself with this kind of adventure just days away.
I need to buy a camera already. |
