Beginning of Summer Wrap-Up

It's been a long, long time since I've posted anything of substance... and it'll probably be a few more days before that happens. Here's a quick update of my life since my last post/survey:

I did actually cut my hair and I freaking love it. Some days... the lazy days... I miss my long hair and the option of pulling it up, but short hair is spunky and apparently I'm pretty spunky.

One year of grad school down. One to go. Awoooo! I never - EVER - thought I would be so tired, but I made it through finals and grading.

After oscillating between decisions to stay in Flagstaff and move home to Monroe for the summer, I sporadically decided to move home last Wednesday when I was in California visiting my Merrianne for her graduation. So, instead of taking the I-15 to I-40, I just kept going 'til I hit I-70 in Utah and now I'm home. I heart Monroe and my family. It's been so great to be home and I'm pretty sure it will continue to be great to be here and be unemployed until August. I feel pretty good about being here. I'm glad for the peace that comes with making the right decision.

I went to my hermano-ito's Seminary graduation last night. I'm so proud of him. He's graduating from high school on Friday and that's effing weird.

Terminator Salvation is not good. Don't watch it.

Star Trek is awesomesauce. See that one instead.

I'm trying to catch up on all of that great literature I've supposed to have been reading as an English major, but haven't. Right now, I'm reading The Bell Jar and I'm quite enjoying it. Next on the list is Catcher in the Rye.

I think that's about all.... uhhh. Yeah. Sorry for the unenthusiastic, short post but it's all I can muster. I'm about to drop off into a coma induced by Mexican Food.

Congrats on getting done with your second year! You're an amazing woman.

Would that I had read your movie warnings, for I saw both, and I agree wholeheartedly.

I should read The Bell Jar.

I meant first year.

Getting done with your first year.

I was getting ahead of myself because I'd like to be a year ahead of myself.

But go you!

I love you and am glad you're posing again. I hope to see you soon-- you're not that far away, after all...

I have read the Bell Jar. It's a favorite, but that I can only seem to read the first half of in re-reads because... I know what's coming... and it's rough...:)

I love that you're in Monroe, but I hate that I am not. Sadness. Tell Jimmy he's a stud; I cannot believe he's graduating!!! What's he doing next year?? I love ya girl!
