Today's Quote--"I find the three major administrative problems on a campus are sex for the students, athletics for the alumni, and parking for the faculty."--Clark Kerr, President, University of California
There's never enough of any of them. ;)

No point, just made me laugh.

Well, after a week of 5-30 minute sessions per day of working on my capstone, I've turned in my third draft. I turned it in at 3:50 pm. Dr. Brickwall sent it back with comments at 5:20 pm. I'm scared. Does that mean that he didn't have to make many comments and I'm close to being done with the damn thing, or did he just write, "Wait, no, try again...This isn't any better than the last draft." I guess I could open the file and look, but I'm not ready for it. I was expecting it to come back tomorrow!

But hey, Cassie's got it good. I've got a mentor who readily responds to my emails, provides excellent feedback (well, okay, sometimes it just pisses me off, but...that's a personal problem), and who is generally supportive of my dislike for Capstone. My paper has gone through three drafts now, and I'm sure it's very nearly as good as it'll get. And I have a week left. I'm well on my way to finishing this whole thing.

And J.P....let's all hope we all have somewhere to live. Again, Me, no issues. I feel like everyone else is having so many more problems than me right now. My love life exists and is...well...we all know it's fine. My capstone isn't killing me. My future is uncertain, but not in a bad way. All I've got to complain about are the sore muscles from all these damn dance practices for the festival tomorrow. But yeah, that's nothing.

Obviously, my issues are waiting for me...out there...in the "real" world. You know what? It's not any more real than this one. Maybe it's just because I hope to be in school for the rest of my life...teaching, hopefully, not as a student. I just don't know what I can do and what I will do. Maybe I'm just uncertain about my abilities. Not good...can't sell myself if I don't know what I'm selling. I hate selling. I hope my stuff sells tomorrow.

Right...I'm a little tired...and getting more so. Coffee tonight, definately. Just a little caffeine. I think I'm gonna need it.

You know what? I love my friends. Even when I'm a dork and keep myself locked up in my room, know that I still love you. I don't know what my life is going to be like without you. I think that's one of the scariest things. I know Ms. Laura will still want to talk to me when I go home, but I'm not sure about the rest of my HS friends. Maybe I'll make friends at work or at school. Or something. I don't wanna make new friends!!!! I wanna keep ya'll! That's it. You all have to live in the correct tri-state region (Washington, Oregon, and California). That way I can visit. :)

ED is definately going to have to come visit Spokane soon, I mean, how else are you going to start helping me plan my wedding? ;) *sigh* Whenever that'll be.

It's funny how I really want to get married, but it's just so much more complicated than that. Ed is a little hesitant about it, but I understand, so am I. I wanna do it, but I'm terrified of it at the same time. Just think of all the paperwork! Someone's gonna change their name, there are taxes, mutual benefits...it's just so much more work than saying "I do." And I haven't even started researching stuff yet! *sigh*

I know, ya'll don't wanna hear about it. Ah well. I guess I'll just go to dinner now and put food in my body so it keeps running. I honestly feel sometimes like I just have to treat my body like a car and put gas in it to keep it going, not that I like gas...but yeah. Must live, must eat to live. Joy. :) NO! I am not having eating disorder issues. Yes, I'm paranoid about it. I'm just looking forward to my own kitchen. Just you watch, I'm gonna graduate and gain 20 pounds. Ha! Take that. And the rest of you are going to graduate and loose 20, right? ;) Nah, I love ya'll just the way you are. And me too.

Ack! Shut up cassie, these people need to do work, let 'em go! Okay, have a good...well...okay...um...tolerable...yeah. Talk to you later. That works.....;)
