Beep

The timer for the microwave rings. I finish putting my bag of cereal away, and then... I start to open the fridge door.

*whimper*

Second Day

Just the second day, and already I have some stress...

Well, I can read ch. 2 of Contours of American History with the rest of my brief break. That at least won't be stressful.

*sigh*

One Of My Turns

Would you like to learn to fly?
Would you?
Would you like to see me try?

Back Again!

...moved in on Sunday, and already today I've had to hit the ground running-- they didn't even give us one day before classes started up >.<

I made it through my first day and met with my photo assistant to tell her about some of my plans-- I forgot to ask if she had any suggestions but there'll be enough time for that later.

Now before dinner I just have to do some of my back exercises, finish unpacking my office supplies, organize my desk and closet, and take a nap. Probably the nap will come before unpacking...

6 Days...

Yes, it has indeed been six days since I was last online, to go by the number of days I had online-comic-catch-up reading to do... otherwise I really wouldn't be able to say, lol.

Uhm, lots of working. Three more days of 1-7 shifts to go, and then, oh my, time to get busy before I leave on SUNDAY :O

Almost There...

Just a little over one more week of work left, and then I have a few days to get all ready for going back to Millersville, and then... August 27th I move back into the dorm! First day of classes is August 28th... talk about hitting the ground running o.O

It's exciting, yet stressful at the same time... I think I'll feel better when all my stuff's safely in my dorm room and I have a few important things like my bedding, computer, and books unpacked and set up. Until then... watch out! (Not that you'll be hearing too much from me until then.)

Send an email my way to get my new address and phone :)

Morning Amusement

...once again provided by toothpaste for dinner.

Awesome...

"So, Friday you're gonna be tearing it up at Ozzfest and Saturday you'll tear it up at a wedding?"
--Heather, one of my co-workers

That basically sums up these past two days. Ozzfest was amazing; I survived the whole day and thanks to staying indoors until around 2pm and my paranoid re-applications of sunblock (it helped that Jason was there to put some on my back) I didn't get sunburnt, the "concert life" was highly entertaining, the bands we were there to see rocked (especially Black Label Society, Disturbed, System of a Down, and of course Ozzy-- although we only stayed for his first song), and I definitely rocked out to Avenged Sevenfold's cover of "Walk" (Pantera). I'll come up with some more specific incidental stories later when I'm not so tired... or you can just ask to hear some ;)

The wedding of a family friend was quite enjoyable; the ceremony was short and not too preachy and the reception was very nice-- warm and friendly, not too formal, with a jazz band and dancing during the cake. Also-- oddly enough-- we ended up sitting with another piano teacher who knew the mother of the bride whose husband is the new band director at Millersville O.o ...naturally, I asked if he'd be interested in setting up an interview with us in the fall. How cool is that?

And now, time to catch up on sleep...

(but I'll miss waking up next to you)

Brief Update

Carla here, writing to inform you that I haven't died of heatstroke! (Yet)

Yes, we have another heat wave here, and I've been working (outside, during the peak hours of the day) all week. Fortunately the heat is supposed to break tonight.

Tonight when I get back from work, Jason will be picking me up, and tomorrow is Ozzfest! I'm so psyched :D

(Still have to pack an overnight bag, though...)
