Ow.

I managed to slice the top of one of my fingers very deeply this morning on the sharp inside edge of the metal cabinet in the English office. I went down to the nurse and got it checked out, cleaned, and bandaged. The good news is that I don't need a stich, but the bad news is that I lost enough blood to be woozy and lightheaded the rest of the day. Oooo, dizzy. The room is all spinny! Also, since it was a "work-related injury", I had to file an accident report with the Dean. Just what the faintheaded girl needs...paperwork. Rolling. Eyes. Forever.

For once, I can honestly say that this was not a result of me being a clutz or being oblivious. That cabinet is really not the safest piece of office furniture around, evidently.

Eep, Kristin, get yourself hydrated and maybe eat something, stat.

So is there a pool of blood in the file cabinent now?

This shouldn't sound so nifty to me.

Ouch, Kristin. Is it the hand you write with?

vw, go tiara, choose tiara.

And happy birthday to Stephanie!

Luckily, it is not my writing hand.

Connie is scaring me a little. Has anyone seen her standing in full sun? Just wondering...

Poor Kristin!

Since everyone seems to think that a tiara is a good choice, it's the way I'm gonna go!

Happy Birthday Steph!

Congrats on the job, Katerina Bee!!

I hope Em feels better soon!

vw, I think you should go with something like an entire alarm clock around your neck. You'd totally outshine anyone with a big watch.

So, sorry to say 'fuck' and run last night. I had to go tweak out on my own for a bit. I do want to move to Somerville. I just can't afford to do it right now. Way I see it is, I can find a med student roomate for the school year, be here until next summer, then hopefully have scraped up enough to move.

Or.

I can move back in with my parents for about 6 months, and save a ton of money. My mom has already said she'd be glad to have me. Then, leave for Boston in the early spring. I can't decide if this is the smarter option, or if I'd feel like a big failure. I hate this. I am all kinds of depressed when I should be happy for Sam, and I don't know what the right decision is.

Sparky! I would love to grab breakfast! Let me check my work schedule and I will get back to you?

ETA: Kristin! Ow!

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

Yay, Katie B!

I hope Emma feels better soon.

You can never go wrong with a tiara.

Katie Bee, I hope it turns out to be a great job for you.

Happy birthday, Stephanie!

Yay, tiara!

LIlty, I've had to move in with my parents twice since graduating college. The first time was a planned move to save money for grad school (first attempt). The second time, it was an emergency measure because I couldn't afford to live on my own (after grad school part deux). Because both times actually were temporary and had clearly defined parameter for ending (either a date or an amount of money saved up), I didn't feel too bad about them It does allow for some serious savings, and it's nice to interact with yor parents as an adult, if they can see you as one.

That "hopefully have scraped up enough to move" makes the other option sound not so appealing. I'd hate to see you struggling for longer than you have to to be where you want to be.
