[20 Jun 2008|08:34pm] Oh, hey. I live in Idaho now. HOW WEIRD IS THAT? I've been here for exactly a week now. Wow. I have been here for exactly one week! It was at exactly this time last Friday night when I walked into my apartment for the first time. Now, I'm sitting on my couch, my computer on my lap and now I'm thinking. I cried a lot last week. I cried off and on all day Thursday, Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning. It was terrible leaving my family behind. I just bawled leaving my house on Thursday. I couldn't get myself together until we were on the far west side of Phoenix. Oh goodness. Sunday was equally bad, because I had to finally say goodbye to my Mom. It was good spending some quality time with her because she really is the most important person in my life. Oh, it was tough. It still is tough. Golly. I finished my first week of work today. I must say, it went a lot better than I was anticipating. I feel confident. I know how to do things, I know answers. This week just left me knowing that I can do this. I can be a good professional and I know that I will do a good job. I still need to go through my of being on duty, and the first weeks of having student here, and the first incident, but I think that I can do it. I really do. I've been making a lot of lists lately. Lists of things to do, things to buy, things to save up for, places to go, etc. Making lists makes me feel better. I like writing everything down and getting it out of my mind. post comment

[30 May 2008|08:24pm] [ music | I'm watching Mean Girls... ] Once again, I've gone too long in between updates. Once again, I'm sorry. Well, shucks. Here goes. So, on May 17th I graduated from the University of Arizona. And, I must say, it feels pretty awesome to be a college graduate. I'm still having a hard time grasping the fact that I'm done with my undergraduate only three years after I started it. It is also weird to think that I'm not going back to the University of Arizona this fall. Tucson and the U of A feel like home now and Phoenix just feels like a place I'm visiting. So weird. Speaking of places and home, I'm going to have a new home in two weeks. Yes, it's true, I'm moving. I'M MOVING TO IDAHO! I accepted a job at the University of Idaho and honestly, I couldn't be more excited. I still have to sign my contract and finish my background check before everything is official. I'm so excited. I love Moscow, I love the University and I can't wait to get started. Oh my goodness, BIG STUFF! Since I've graduated, I've just been focusing on getting ready to move 21 hours away from Arizona (21 hours driving, much less flying to Spokane). I've bought new bedding for my bed in my apartment (I HAVE AN APARTMENT?!?), I'm trying to think of all the things I need or will need. There is a lot to do. I really want to see Phoenix people before I go but everyone is busy this summer. They are going to places, doing things, and just not here. I'm sad and kind of lonely, but really... well, really, I don't know what to do. I miss all my Tucson friends. I miss La Familia. I'm just lonely and I felt all my goodbyes were rushed and I wish I could go back in time just a little bit to do things more properly. Oh well. I suppose that is all I have to say. 1 comment|post comment

[07 Apr 2008|11:16am] [ music | "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab for Cutie ] I really like my insomniac Political Theory professor. He has this wonderful habit of canceling class at the drop of the hat without any notice, which he did last Monday. Today in class he announced that he is canceling class on Monday and Wednesday of next week and has pushed off our turn in date for our second midterm to next Friday. However nice this all may sound, it puts me in a tough spot. Here is the dilemma. I have my huge, almost 30 page Foreign Policy paper due on Friday as well. I also have Student Media Board on Friday. And Relay for Life. And my grandparents are coming into town. Ugh. Why does April have to be the worst month ever? Now I have to change up my plan of attack and figure out how to not let myself put everything off until Thursday night. ANGST! There are things to look forward to this month, I suppose. There is always Kanye, Lupe and N*E*R*D on April 24th and the RHA End of the Year Banquet (also on the 24th). Alex might be coming to town on the 17th, but I doubt it. And after all the nonsense, there are finals and graduation. Like always, my finals schedule doesn't suck. I could be done on Wednesday if I play my cards right and get my Political Theory essay done early, which is very possible. I could go home for a few days and you know... relax before my Dad and sister get into town and everything becomes chaotic. And, I could visit Chris on his birthday. It could work out. I've spent my Monday morning cleaning my room and watching baseball (GO CUBS). I've talked to my Dad twice and it isn't even 11:30. I suppose I should go to KAMP soon and get work done but I need to take care of the personal stuff too. I suppose I should read for my Middle East midterm on Thursday and probably do my Voting Behavior homework. At least the homework assignment I can do whilst watching Kansas dominate Memphis, but I really don't want to do my readings, mainly because I lost my syllabus. Whoops! I should probably take out the garbage now and stop whining. post comment

[06 Apr 2008|07:07pm] Today was possibly one of the most beautiful days in the history of beautiful days. And, I wasted it. I didn't do the homework I said I would do. I didn't go on a run like I was going to. I didn't spend any time outside in the sunshine save the three minutes I was outside running to Highland or meeting the Jimmy John's guy. However, I took a nap and got some work done. I got frustrated with knitting. And that's really all. Boring, not so productive, wasted day. Oh well. The end of the semester is so close, I can't even handle it. post comment

[02 Apr 2008|06:54pm] [ music | "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" by She & Him. ] I turned 21 on Sunday and that was exciting. I'm going out to Club Congress and that was really exciting. And, I have so much to do. SO MUCH TO DO. I got my cap and gown yesterday and that was thrilling. I have an interview tomorrow with South Dakota. I don't know what to say, but I feel like most things I'm feeling can be summed up in a short list. The list of things that I want: Hair that cooperates, my applications to write themselves, a good long sleep, a good stiff drink, a good lover, home furnishings from Pottery Barn, to lose 10 pounds, a telephone call from someone nice, to feel clean, new shoes, money, fresh flowers, fresh fruits, my own kitchen, something new, and to go swimming. post comment
