Checking up

So, the last few days have been marvelous. I am off of classes and waiting on two more grades to come in, so far I have been pleasantly suprised. Work is alright, Buca's is tiring on me and I am supposed to have my first W/A shift tonight, but I might get called off because there aren't many reservations and there are too many of us. I hope not. I was really excited and more importantly, I could really use the cash.

I went and saw Rabkin and Tinkle the other day, which was nice. I'm hoping to start building connections with my professors as I did at NHS with teachers. I imagine it will be harder due to much decreased face time, but I have my hopes. I finished Numbers in the Dark and I think I'll take Seymour to Baltimore. What I really want to read is Difficult Loves by Calvino, but alas, I do not own it and I really think I shouldn't buy anymore books. It's only $3.38 on Amazon, so probably $7.00 ($7 that I don't need to spend on books when I have at least twentysome odd books that I have yet to read, but I'm always very concerned about what book I should be reading. Does it fit my theme? Is it intellectual enough? What if it isn't even any good? Should I just buy something by an author I trust? What about breadth? I have depth, but very little coverage. I do read books in public that will make me look smart. I read to impress. I am pretentious, but that's besdie the point).

I've watched Mean Girls too many times on HBO. Goodness, put on something new!

Baltimore in five days. *So* excited.

I finished Brandie's present, Jen's present came in the mail, I can't wait to work on my painting, Katherine wants to commission something from me, I think I am going to do the Detroit Free Press half marathon, I babysat the Partins this week, caught up with Erin...it's just been a good week.
