I'M BORED. Entertain me??

Dorky sounding? Possibly. Also very tasty sounding.

Well, it's Mexican toppings on wheat bread. Maybe more weird than dorky.

I'm bored too, but I should be writing. I've decided I write more when I'm busy--end of April, I was judging contest entries and doing grant writing for the main freelance client, and somehow I was writing 20 pages per week and more. Now I have nothing to do but write, and I've spent the entire day playing on the internets.

Susan, My mom says I owe my life to hot dogs.

Get out! I worked at Marriott's Great America.

I went to Marriott's Great America once with my 8th grade class. This was before it moved. In case anyone cares.

So The Good Date and I haven't really discussed the idea of exclusivity in any specific terms; we'd both talked in general about what we were looking for in a relationship, and we're clearly all besotted, but there haven't been any parameters established.

I just logged in to OKCupid so I could reply to a few unanswered messages with a general "hey, thanks for being in touch, I should probably be up front and let you know that I might be unavailable for dating but hey I'm always up for meeting new friends" message. While I was logged in I looked again at The Good Date's profile.

His relationship status is now listed as "seeing someone" and his profile limits his interests to friends, activity partners, and penpals.

SQUEE!

Doomed Jen is awfully cute.

Also, Hi, Jen! How's that last week of classes treating you?

In my first real job, I worked at an amusement park. Nightmare on a stick.

I'm right there with you. (I worked at Six Flags Great America.)

Opryland.

Erin, that sucks.

vw, she knows that you care about her and I really doubt that she cares about your housekeeping, unless there's something alive in the dirty dishes.

Jen is even more doooooomed.

vw-- there is no way you could be a bad friend. At all. It's not in your make up.

Jen -- that's so exciting!

And Erin that completely sucks, I'm sorry.

Hi vee-dub! This is actually my next-to-last week of classes; I've got class scheduled next Monday and Wednesday.

All the same, the course evaluations are in full swing, and they are glorious. I get to talk about the horrific head nurse on my unit at my psychiatric rotation and sing the praises of my amazing maternity clinical instructor. I love being able to do that.

The downside, of course, is that the closer classes are to ending, the closer finals become.

How's your stuff going? Do you have exams or final papers/projects?

Oh, yeah. That's kind of what I meant...I'm counting down. In my head there's a full week left.

Filled out my first course evaluation today. That one wasn't bad. I'm dreading one of them. I like the prof as a person, but...

The downside, of course, is that the closer classes are to ending, the closer finals become.

Exactly! How many do you have?

It's going well. I got my grade back for my last incomplete (there were four) yesterday, and it was an A. I was thrilled (still am)! Finished off a paper today and have another big one due on Monday. Then everything is done till finals week, which will contain a final, a paper and my creative writing portfolio. And the best part? They're all due the same day. Go May 17th!
