This Optimistic Fantasy

Its been a crazy past few days, but I guess it'll all be worth something in the end. Saturday ended up being a nice little row, then lots of loading and packing and cleaning, and for once, we weren't sent back to reclean our bunks cause I spent a lot of time sweeping and getting everything clean. The bus ride was somewhat pleasant, lots of movies, had my own seat, and finally got to eat at Wendy's. Gotta love those Frosty Frozen Desserts :)

Arrived in Baltimore around 8/9 pm, come home to find out that.. my lease isn't going to be renewed for the upcoming year. Some frat, likely Pike, is moving into the Briarley and taking over. Lots of headaches, didn't do laundry, didn't do much at all but try and deal and crashed by 11. Sunday was a bit better, oh wait, no it wasn't. Missed a lot of what I shouldn't have, couldn't do laundry all day long because the machines were taken up. Instead looked up some graduate programs. Genetic counseling sounds interesting now too.. but I don't have any sort of counseling experience.

Had dinner at Niwana that night, with Wesley, Bobby, Katie, Teddy and Clare-bob. Love the Korean appetizers, and edamame with not quite enough salt. Then got the Niwana Udon which was a bit too fishy for my taste, certainly not getting it again, but on the whole, wasn't disgusting. Went to the house and watched Copenhagen, which I thought I'd hate because its about the two men that have made my life hell in PChem and consequently, made me let go of the chemistry major. But it was interesting, and I do love soundtracks that consist primarily of oboe solos.

Monday, morning, unloading. Very cold feet, as a result of wet socks from washing boats. But came home, and was very productive until class. Managed to do 2 loads of laundry (crew stuff and essentials), cleaned out the dishes, made more rice water/soup/porridge to help push down the ulcers in my mouth, and even took an hour and a half nap. French, wandered around, got yelled at by the registrar women for not receiving my transcript but still wanting to request one, got lots of veggies, pita bread, cheddar slices, and cilantro hummus at Eddies and had a nice meal. THen off to the library, met up with Clare, headed to personality theory.. I truly do love that class the most, why am I not a psychologist?

Then our usual post-class get-together/talk in the hallway sans Wesley, decided to go do the Vaccaro's Monday Night thing, at request of Greg because Brit's gone for the week. Came home, did some more dishes, at some more of what I had for lunch, slaughtered a chicken to make the soup my mother wants me to with the Chinese ingredients she sent to me so long ago.. that's on the stove. Really wish I had time to go to the gym...

So looking to maybe move in with Nana for next year. My option was initially to move into campus housing, but I get kicked out of here end of June, I'd then have to sublet somewhere for 2 months, then move into campus housing in September, and find storage for all my crap.. which is way more work than is worth. 1 bedrooms that are reasonable are scarce and I definitely need the full kitchen, so perhaps this arrangement with Nana will work out. Looking at a small complex called the Alps at Tuscany, a few blocks north of One World, by the Calvert School. Its really cute, from the pictures.

Well, off to stuff my face with fantastic Italian desserts.. I'll make sure I get at least a strawberry granita :)


P.S. Hey Ariel! I'm glad you're reading my posts now. The editor I use has a T and a color palette button at the top when you're editing, so I use that to change the colors :)

Oh man, a hot chocolate, cream puff, diet coke, vanilla gelato with strawberries in a waffle bowl, and a strawberry smoothie later.. I'm stuffed, and majorly sick. My head hurts, I want to throw up, but man it was so good! Basically $24 worth of sugar and pain, for only $16. Not bad, Greg had like $30 worth.

And now, comes the lab report, which I don't even understand. Oops?
