i can read beween the lines

what's been on my mind lately:

due to my complete lack of organizational skills and messed up priorities, i think i deleted some of the stuff i had for my grad school application. (arent you completely sick of hearing about that?? me too.) and by deleted i mean forgot to rescue it from the hard drive when i reformatted. so i have to refind and fill out the forms. *sigh*

end of the semester is going to come flying because midterms are officially over (or today might be the last day). after midterms, the rest of the semester always go by in a blur. in a way i'm excited, but there's also a whole lot of stuff i have to finish in that blur.

professors who like group work suck. i hate working in groups. its rare to get a good group, and unless the project can be divided into parts and then reassembled twenty minutes before class, you usually end up screwed.

rachael, a friend of mine, is also graduating this semester. she's hoping to go volunteer in bolivia for four months after the semester ends. i'm jealous. it sounds so cool.

every time we get new neighbors in this neighborhood, they end up being awful. (we used to have really great neighbors before they started moving away one by one.) our next door neighbors are building a new house and i'm hoping that the trend is broken by the time new people move in.

so i registered for book crossing. i haven't "sent anything into the wild" or anything, but when i do i'll let you know. i am also really leaning towards registering for nanowrimo. i'm waiting for the end of the week to sign up though so my sanity has a chance to have a talk with my brain an explain why adding another thing to my list (especially something as time consuming as writing 50,000 in a month) is completely psychotic, especially towards the end of the semester when i'll have a whole bunch of schoolwork to do. i'm waiting on the results of that talk, but i'm guessing i'll be signing up tomorrow.

saturday i'm taking my brothers (and the rest of the family) to see disney on ice. the last time i went to disney on ice was a million years ago when i was that really young age where i still vaguely have memories from, but not very specific ones. you know what i'm talking about? i remember getting a snow cone in a big disney mug.

i've been seeing/talking to people lately that i havent seen/communicated with forever. for example, my neighbor/friend's younger brother/really awesome kid. i saw him the other day (mahoney you are now the only person in your family i havent seen... oh and meshari). and then i also had lunch with a college friend (rachael from up there) that i hadnt seen in a really long time which was fun. it's hard to believe its been two years since we used to take classes together. time is crazy.

orlando bloom in poster form hangs on my wall. it was a birthday present from a few years back. i've had so many people comment on seeing him and making a point to see him when they come to our neighborhood that it's kind of creepy.

normally we leave the house on thursdays at 9:15. today i decided to leave at 10:15 because i'm not meeting up with my group before class. i just realized that parking is going to be impossible to find. thursday, after 10, during midterm week... i'm gonna be driving around in circles a lot.
