Six Days

...til the last due date. Second MSA semester's close to done. Unfortunately, so is the idea of taking off to Northern Ireland next month, as Jonny has to work. I floated the idea of him coming here next week, which he can get off, so we'll see.

Dear god, in a few weeks I go to work for The Man. These could be last few weeks of freedom, being broke, and living with my parents. Ever.

Shower-Fresh Procrastination

Nothing better than that warm, cozy, clean-smelling feeling you get right after a nice hot shower on a cold day. It's Thanksgiving Eve, also approaching my last week of MSA work, aka finals week, which also involves catching up on everything I've neglected lately. My cat is bored - he's walking around the dining room aimlessly staring/scratching at furniture. Poor little guy. I know the feeling.

In a little over a week, 10 days to be exact, I'll either be looking at apartments in Manchester or getting ready for trip #2 to Northern Ireland. It remains to be seen if Jonny can score a week off, but if he can, you better believe I'm going. I've got almost a month off before I sign my soul over to the accounting gods, and I feel it in my bones to travel. Even more than that I'm finding that maybe this idea of a long-distance relationship isn't the worst thing ever. Maybe it's worth it. And it's going to take some faith on my part, but the best things usually do - beats being cynical forever.

At any rate, if this December trip doesn't work out, and even if it does, I can expect an Irish visitor for a couple weeks early in 2007.

My poor term project is begging for some attention. Senioritis is a real thing, with the end so close in sight. My mind slides right to the end of the week, instead of the very obvious hurdles right in front of me.

I just got a drunk phone call, make that two, from my friend Rey. He along with every other person my age I know is out in Hartford tonight.....bastard. Ok I could've gone too, it's my own fault cuz of procrastation, etc....but still. Bastard.

Can't. wait. to. move. out. Oh and by the way, I'll be living with a fireman. Score!

Is Anyone Alive Out There?

I keep writing in MySpace instead of here, for the main reason that I'm not sure if anyone still reads this. But that could actually work to my advantage....I could write all sorts of juicy private detail here and not worry about it! So where did I leave off?

2.5 weeks to go til I say bye to grad school....and as usual I'm procastinating to an unhealthy degree. I have a little bit of an excuse this week - I got my wisdom teeth, all 4, dug out of my jaw on Monday, and I'm still healing. Hence the reason I get to take percocet, hence the reason I'm typing really, really fast. I'm gonna miss this stuff. They gave me 20 and I've used 4.....how much you think I can rake in with the other 16?

This is not gonna be a fun weekend in terms of work....I've put the big projects off again.....but hey, it's all good. EVERYTHING'S good right now. I'm 22 and about to finish my masters and walk into a nice, secure, plenty of room-for-advancement accounting job. I've got the cool laid-back but responsible male roommate lined up, a car to go into debt for, an awesome cat, and a lover in Ireland. What more could a girl want?

Speaking of which, there's a pretty good chance I'll be back overseas in a few weeks. At the same time, I've agreed to a date with an old friend here. Dangerous ground to write about on pain meds....ah well. Life is pretty good, and I'm not gonna waste it holding off for a long-distance maybe. If it works out,wonderful. If the one here works out, wonderful. If neither works out, the sun still comes up tomorrow. At least I can say I gave it all a shot.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO BE DONE!!!! YAYYY LIFE!!!!!
