Friday I get to see my Tommy again...

It's only tuesday...

I've been having some interesting times lately.

I woke up this morning and went to the cherry wood health spa to work out, but realized that it sucked pretty badly. Since it still hasn't hit me that Ive graduated, I had to venture onto the campus (well, I rollerbladed there) for a smoothie and some quiet reading. I'm hoping the weather continues to get warmer so I can do more rollerblading. I'm getting deeper into Cryptonomicron by Neal Stephenson. Good Book.

Yesterday was kind of a wierd day. My grandparents left, Tom went home, and a few other things really got me bummed out. I slept most of the afternoon. After I got myself together again, I headed to cosmos where Jay was just getting off of work. I walk in and he says "you look a bit frazzled." After he was off of work, we went to the antique place and he bought some vinyl. I was looking for cool things for my apartment, but didn't find anything that really spoke to me. I checked my email, got some subway for dinner, read a bit. Talked to Joe for a bit which is always fun. Read some more, went shopping at walmart for more house things. Trying to get my shit together. Talked to Tommy who I miss ever so much. I can't wait until he moves in in the fall. Not only is it going to be awesome, but we're also going to have the most wired apartment in BG :) Just you wait :)

Alright.. gotta head home and get some work finished

I did rather well on Dunning's exam this morning and all I have left is a ceramics critique this afternoon (which really isn't anything).

Now... I pack :)

Man have I been living under the "work hard, play hard" ideal lately. I had a bunch of assignments and stuff to finish last week (from when I was sick) as well as stuff for finals week to finish. Got all that done.

Thursday, I did my normal routine and had an amazing interview with HCR manor care. What a great company, it would be *so* cool to work for them. Thursday night, I throw on my boots and cowboy hat and head up to nashvilles with Jon and Emily. Did some country line dancin', got to watch emily ride the bull, had a great time there :)

Friday, Tom came into town and we chilled out all afternoon / evening. Friday night, all the geeks hit the bars for the CS Grads 2002 Barcrawl (watch out! here come the geeks!). Everyone involved had a good time, we all had t-shirts, and I think even I got a few good pictures. Didn't get in until late because we headed to Taco Bell, and made sure everyone got home okay (no, Jon, you don't owe me big time ;) ).

Woke up early saturday morning to finish the pasta salad for the BGSLUG picnic and cleaned up my house a little bit. After all that was done, Tom and I layed down to take a quick nap and ended up sleeping the whole afternoon away. Now I've got all this pasta salad in my fridge, and I didn't get to go to the picnic! Oh well, more pasta salad for me I guess. By the time we got around it was 8 ish, and when we were making dinner plans, we realized that Tom had lost his ID the previous evening (which is probably making some little underage drunkard frat boy really happy now). We couldn't find it anywhere, so we ended up going to get sushi at Uraku (we were gonna go to trotters, but if you go there for a brown jug steak.. you have to have a guinness... and with no id.. it's hard to get guinness). Sometimes, you gotta wonder why things happen.... at Uraku, Tom and I saw our "sushi dude" from Yoko who was helping out on the busy saturday night. He makes really good sushi, and he's a cool guy :) We got to chat with him for a bit :) It is actually kind of wierd too, because he was around when Tom and I were paying for sushi with separate checks ;) The food was great as always and we headed over to cosmos afterwards to visit Jay, who was having the work weekend from hell. We saw Jesse and Harr there as well, so it was cool to sit around and chat with everyone. Jay so had a shot on some freshman chicks dressed like schoolgirls.. but he didn't take it... probably because Jay has more style than that :) After he closed, we all went to the grill and chatted some more. I'm pretty glad that I'm staying in town for a little while longer. I used to hate bowling green.. but now... I don't. I found some cool people and some cool places... and now... I would like to stay around a bit longer. For example, Me, Tom, Jay, Jesse, and Harr having a chat on a saturday night at an empty corner grill.... Going out with a bunch of CS majors... These are the days that we remember...

After the grill, Tom and I went home to watch Anti-Trust, which is actually a good little geek movie, despite the eye candy. And, it's not really too far off as far as geekness goes (although most people don't access satellites with IP addresses). Tom even liked it :)

Sunday was pretty uneventful, I cleaned house some more, did some laundry, glazed some pots, went to visit Jay in the afternoon. Good Times. Monday, my gramma and grampa came in, so Tom and I had dinner with them at easy street and then chilled out at the motor home for a bit and chatted. Tom was pretty nervous about the whole thing, but he eased up a bit later. It was so nice to see them again, I love my grandparents so much. They're the cutest lil' old people ever. My gramma gave me "the blanket" that she had been knitting for me for the past year or so. It's gorgeous, huge, and *so* warm :) She made me a lap blanket and is working on making me a rug as well to match. I got a candle too and some money from my great aunt and uncle. I love graduation presents :) Hopefully, I can use some of that to get started on this whole new apartment thing and manage to maybe even pay off some bills. I got to show gramma and grampa where I was living in the summer. I noticed that the building had a different address than the one that the apartment people gave me. I sent out the one that the apartment people gave me on all of my announcements. I hope... HOPE that my mail gets to me. Gah. I'm excited though. It'll only be a quiet little summer home until Tom and I get a real apartment, but I'll make it nice :) Last night, Tom and I decided to take a walk to the union to get some ice cream. I was going to pay, but I realized that I was missing my wallet. I apparently caught the bug from Tom, but fortunately for me, it was still at easy street where I left it. Sooo.. Tom and I walked down to easy street, and walked home. It was a nice warm night last night and I like taking walks with Tom :) He's such a good guy and he does a really good job of keeping me happy :) This afternoon, We're probably going to do a little apartment shopping :) We'll see. I notice that the apt above the hairy canary still isn't occupied. It's way too expensive, and is probably leased in the fall, but man... is it neat. I'm sure we'll find something. I hope I can hear back from the hcr manor care people soon :) SOMEBODY'S GOTTA HIRE ME!

Alright.. that's enough rambling for now... it's FINALS WEEK BAY-BEE. I've got less than a week till I graduate!!! OHHH YEAH!
