Cleaned the apartment for the first time since I moved in.  It feels quite nice to live like a human being. Coffee's on the stove and I'm about to settle in for a bit with Randi's copy of Guns, Germs and Steel, which it actually assigned reading for my Molecular Anthro Class.  Yet another reminder that I belong here.  ;)

After that, I'm heading to a great little mystical shop to see about spending part of the generous gift certificate Mark and Claire gave me when I moved, then to drop off some books to the Salvation Army.  I've decided to give books away as soon as I finish reading them, so that maybe someday I won't be moving around the country with two suitcases of clothes and a cabin stacked with books.  I hear you can get a lot of info off the interwebs nowadays anyway.


Happy Saturday, lovely readers (Allegedly, there are TWO of you now!!).  Enjoy your weekend.  It's a new season- let's make it awesome.

I can't even believe how much stuff I let happen since the last post without writing it down.  At first I was too frazzled- I literally had to check my planner to make sure I knew what day it was. Then I was grumpy because my original local living arrangement imploded in a rather impressive way, which still might or might not end in some sort of legal whatnot. I don't wanna talk about it 'cause it still stresses me out. Now I'm just regular old busy, for the most part.

The important thing is that I'm still here. I'm in a really nice little apartment now, keeping up (mostly) on my assignments and slowly-but-surely getting over my fear that I'm going to be fired from my GA-ship ANY MINUTE NOW. I don't always feel completely on top of everything, but I'm keeping my shit together way better than I might have a few years ago.
