I think the mix landscape is irretrievably changed by iTunes.

Allyson, former flames reconnecting and sending out mix tapes does not bode well. Most guys do that for women they intend to pursue. If not for the 3000 miles I think you'd have a choice between backing away or trying to push his girlfriend out of the picture, but with that kind of distance involved it can only result in heartbreak for you.

Then there are guys who make you mixed tapes who have no interest at all! Make up your minds!!

So my final was (knock on wood) not too bad. I managed to answer all the questions (ah, what a difference having 3 hours instead of 1.25 makes) and I wasn't totally befuddled by any. Though a little befuddled, and on one I wrote down something that was on my reference sheet even though I'm not quite sure what it meant (well, I knew what it meant, I'm just not sure why it's true). But with that many questions, I must have done some of them right, right?

Anyway, semester over! And I poked my head into the placement coordinator's office and said, hey, I got this note that said you folks haven't gotten my letter of agreement for my placement yet -- the placement that you haven't set up for me yet, WTF? And it turned out nothing slipped through the cracks, they're still working on it. But it's a good thing I turned up, because they were trying to place me way south of the city where the T doesn't go, having apparently ENTIRELY forgotten that I don't have a car. So it looks like I may end up at Boston Latin after all, and you know? That's okay.

Also, I screwed up my dad's address on an order yesterday but managed to reach them and correct it today before it shipped, so YAY.

It still takes some doing and thinking and CRAP that reminds me I have some doing and thinking wrt gift mixes. Argh.

I never knew mixes were so loaded!

I'm getting a little high here. Someone is using a whiteboard nearby and man, is that marker pungent. My eyes are watering.

I know it can only result in heartbreak. I want ANYWAY.

But, you know, can't have. 3000 miles. There's no reality there.

But he's sending me a mix, ita. HE'S SENDING ME A MIX.

Oh dear.

Things must have been simpler when they had to write poetry.

Yeah, the mix tape is not an unambiguous signal. I'm making mix CDs for my family for Christmas, and maybe some friends, with no innuendo attached.

Is Hil around? I'm busting with mathiness that I want to share before it all drains out of my head. I'm really bummed that I can't take the second half of this class -- all this information is just going to go to waste.

Well, are you finding it ego-soothing and reminding of your essential lovability? That is to say, ability to be loved, not... lovable-ness, which is what puppies have.
