VEGAS!

We leave for the majestic journey to the south tomorrow. Our first big stop will be the hometown to pick up some necessary grocery goods. There are talks of getting all of our food (or the majority of it) for the week right away so as to save money. (Plus, I don't want to violate the fact that I've not eaten at a fast food restaurant in over a month.) I got my bag out and ready to pack today, but it never happened. I'm waking up early tomorrow to get everything I need done done before we leave. (I always find it odd how putting the same word one after the other works in certain instances.) Today was pretty slow. I finished up some post-break homework, went and got some food from the grocery store for dinner, watched two movies and about 10 episodes of a few television shows. I also called in to request a 'dialog', which I am required to do for a position with Admission Possible. I'm leaning heavily on the job as of now, but plan on looking for other things once I get back. I will have a few months to lounge before it starts after all.

I felt very disconnected today. I found myself picking up the phone, unfolding it, thinking of making a call, closing the phone, opening the phone to look at my calendar, closing it again, and then putting it down. I sometimes wonder if, in the future when I'm all pudgy with a mustache, I'll look back at life and have some regrets. Then I fall out of the disillusioned moment and go back to watching more television. Something tells me I might find that funny some day.

Springs Awakening...

I think it was last year that Clair showed me website with songs on it, with one that especially reminded her of me. It's called "First of May" and can be found here. I've listed it as one of my big 'cheer me up' songs. Today was a fairly boring day. I deposited some money from the mommers. It will fund me on my way to Phoenix this coming weekend, which is nice. After that business, I traveled to the espresso expose in dinkytown and had myself an almond earl grey tea. It was delicious. I continued walking around in the nice weather, realizing all too late that I didn't need a coat at all, so I began to pit out a bit. Thankfully, my jacket covered any signs of that. I walked across the walking bridge, deciding to leave the east river flats for another day (perhaps tomorrow), and thinking that the Guthrie was a bit too much of a walk for as late as it was getting. So, I continued on my way, and ended up sitting on a bench outside of the Andersen Library, relaxing by a big obelisk. The view of the Washington Ave. bridge and the Weisman Museum was quite nice on the refreshing afternoon. And tonight, I'm going out for some brews with the guys, which I am really looking forward to after 24 hours in MBH.

I also finished my job application for Admission Possible. It's due by the 26th, and I plan on getting it in the mail tomorrow. Although I still have to acquire an envelope. I'm sure that will work itself out though. Come mid-April, I may know if I'll actually have a job come August. (I usually don't come twice in one sentence. Hooray!) That means that May-August, I will have to set up a stinky-filler job. Which should be entertaining! I'm thinking of waiting tables.
