In which I remember that I have a blog
Recently I’ve been getting complaints from people for not writing in my blog; it’s not that I blame any of them, because to be perfectly honest, I haven’t been writing in it, so it’s not too hard to see where they’re coming from. After the semester ended, I told myself that I’d have more time to start writing in it, but it turns out that being lazy and sitting around my apartment doing nothing is more time-consuming that I first suspected. It has actually been 2 or 3 days since I’ve even checked my own e-mail. When I finally did check it today, there wasn’t much there but junk, and one from a student. I still have a student from last semester trying to entice me into the “change-my-grade” dance. I prefer the two-step. This laziness has been sort of nice, especially since this wasn’t my favorite semester, but it makes me feel a little useless. I’m not sure what the balance is, between feeling too busy and useless (I’m going to start by cleaning the apartment tomorrow).
Things to report
Today is the last day that I get to see Steph before she goes to Mexico, where she’ll be for about a month. This makes me sad. Steph and I have been playing racquetball together for the past few weeks (which really helps to make me feel less useless), and she is just generally fun and delightful.
Today we played racquetball for the last time, and it ended well (with me getting hit really hard in the face: my glasses went flying off, but the girly scream I made was by far the most exciting part).
Kate is coming back on Monday nightish – YAY! I’m hoping with her around the apartment, I won’t feel inclined to impersonate a slug any more.
Finally, June 9-11, I’m flying home to Colorado to see my family and some old friends (who really are family as well). Although Tyler will be in Alaska, everything else seems to be working out fairly well for that weekend (and my mom is buying my plane ticket, which is good since I’m not really making much money this summer).
Some of you may have considered that a cure for my sluggishness and lack of money might be a job, but I’m already going to say no to those insistences. I have my reasons, but the biggest one is that I get too wound up about most things, and if I’m ever going to survive the next year of grad school, I need to stop the hectic whirlwind, even if just for a month.
