Midweekend musings on the nature of things

Oh, oh. Today has been somewhat exciting, mostly relaxing, and more than a little boring.

Last night was the orientation for the LI. It was pretty great. I think the new kids are gonna rock, especially the ones that I already thought that about. It made me think about my first leadership orientation and Kinsley and Cara and Matt and Andy and how close everyone seemed. It’s so weird to think that I am now Cara’s age from when I met her. It’s also weird not having her on campus, but so far it’s meant that I talk to her on-line more and I’m okay with that as long as we stay friends. We’re going to see Ani together in October! Whee! Anyway, it’s weird because the LI has changed. And in some ways it’s still great. And in others I feel like it’s getting out of control and large. I think things will be fine.

I went home and helped mom wash dogs today. We washed almost all of them and trimmed up most of them. How awesome! Tomorrow she is taking me to dinner with Joe at the OG. Dad and Devon will probably be there too. I’m so happy. I really love blending my family life with my relationship life. I hope that I continue to see more of my family even though school has started. I’m trying to make a habit of it.

I also bought new shoes today. Whee. I needed new shoes for debate because I don’t feel like I have that many so I took advantage of Payless’s BOGO sale. Oh fun. And when I first went in to shop the electricity was out, which was weird, but I just put shoes on hold instead of waiting and then went to walgreens where I still had to wait. This turned out okay though because instead of getting the exact same shoe in different colors, I got the exact same shoe in different colors and with a different heel. Awesome.

Work has been boring in the most exceptional way, but my new friends and Waibel are at the apartment so I can’t really wait to go home. Plus. SVU is on TV till 1 a.m. What a great way to spend an evening.
