Come on over.


Here are a few peeks into our room... the golden glow we successfully achieved doesn't show up very well, but it gives the general idea!

Pictures Soon to Come; Stay Tuned.

Once I get used to the approaching storm, or when I have a moment of peace sometime, I will take and post some pictures of my home for this school year. I love the room, the roommate and we achieved the biggest of successes in dorm-room living: a lovely golden glow instead of that ugly fluorescent light.

To Be Done Tomorrow.

It's a usual transition, one that I've been through before. But, as always, there are parts of it that I forgot about---the chaos, the disorganization, the strange feeling of packing one's entire life for the next 8 or 9 months. Tonight I felt entirely unmotivated to get anything packed... which is evident by the utter mess I left behind for tomorrow's to-do list!

How's that for an early case of procrastination?

Profitable Yard Sales. Literally.

Mom and I ventured out to some yard sales this morning, and goodness! We found the bargains! Among them: $0.50 pants, $0.25 vases, $1.00 hassock, $0.25 little girls' clothing for a friend and...



$1.50

Yes, I found another bag... a cute one with an unknown treasure inside.


$1.75 in change!







I got the bag for free, and even made a little bit! : )

Finale.

Another season of work came to a close this evening... They were some of the dearest people I have ever met, and I will miss seeing them so often. Yet, I am so excited to be moving on once again, climbing the ladder of learning so that I don't have to do the "dirty work" for the rest of my life. The good thing about this experience, though, is that I will have more appreciation for and (hopefully) greater sympathy towards my aides someday.

But, look at the time... of course, I'm energized now (purely adrenaline, though) and not feeling sleepy. However we've gotta do some shopping tomorrow, so I need to rest up! : )

A quote I read recently (loosely translated, as I remember it):

Not every day is good, but there is something good in every day.

Zoom Zoom.

You know those time when you try with all your might to slow your thoughts and wish upon all your luck that your mind would decide to take a break at least once in a while?

Nope. Midnight is not a fun time to have a racing brain. Perhaps a post will result later though.

Terribly many things, changes, thoughts and (wonderful) challenges in life at the moment.
