Updates

So, I am working, which is cool. I'm not really doing much, considering I don't really know much. It's okay. I'm getting experience, and as long as I don't get too bogged down in the feeling of uselessness I should be able to get a decent recommendation out of this.

I just spent an extended weekend with M. It was nice. I haven't done much of anything, though. For example? Sunday we sat about and read Harry Potter in our jammies all day. I didn't clean my car. We didn't check where the post office is. I didn't go shopping.

I haven't even worked on that paper. I don't even know if Dr. S can still use it. O well. In fact, thats kind of why I'm doing this. Yay procrastination.

Anyway, in terms of jobbing... I"m mostly doing paperwork. Its okay. I'm picking stuff up here and there, but I certainly can't do a proper analysis, and I get nervous. People are nice. The area is beautiful. I want to take people out here, but it won't happen. At some point I would like to go camping in this area, but since I'm moving, I don't think that will happen, at least not anytime soon.

Though it is a good method of traveling cheaply that I plan on exploiting.

Lets see.

I think the move date is roughly August 18. I need to be there by the 24th. M -is- moving down with me. We have an apartment, that I haven't seen, but it is supposed to be newly renovated. I figure it can't be much worse than my alma mater's apartments. We don't have a moving company yet, but we do have a plan. I think we are going to try to contact them today, this week at least. I sent a couple of emails, so, we'll see how that changes things.

Okay. Time for paper.

I find it funny that the center command showed up

So, I obviously have a very tenuous grasp of html. Incidental. I hope to change that.

Anyway, this is me not doing work. I do, however, have (what I view as) a valid excuse! Baby sister, who I haven't spoken to in forever, is talking to me right now. Roxxor, and all that. Further more, Boyfriend is supposed to be calling me back. Can't exactly get sucked into a big ole pile of work, now can I?

Anyway, in a bit I'm going to head out to see A, which is exciting. I haven't seen -her- in forever. And -then- we're off to see M's (aka Boyfriend) dad. Yay! He hasn't seen his dad in over a year, and we were having all sorts of arguments regarding holiday spendings. I haven't seen my extended family on my dad's side since I left for college, and this might be the last holiday that my folks are abroad. So I was, before Boyfriend, intending to go up and see Gramma over Thanksgiving, and then (obviously) see my folks over Xmas. Plus, Baby sister would kill me if I didn't show up. Then M is all like *whine* I haven't seen -my- daddy in forever! Which is totally reasonable, but throws everything off. ANYWAY, I think that this will help alleviate the need to see his dad right away, and then we can possibly make it out there for a three day weekend, as opposed to having to spend a whole week.

Later: L's wedding, moving and other... stuff. yeah.

The first post

I have done this too many times.

"O crap, I haven't talked to anyone in ages. Do they want to know whats going on? Some people do, I know, because I've been yelled at. How do I solve this problem? O yes, silly things like LJ. Okay lets do that. Wait, didn't I already have one of those? What's the password again? Nevermind, I'll just make a new one!!!"

Fastforward two months and the thing is collecting cyber cobwebs. O well.

So what is this, then? No, I will never learn. I'm trying for, hopefully, the last time.

This is a journal in the most literal sense. I.e. a recording of events as they happen to me, or as I plan them to happen, and then what happens when things don't go to plan...
The purpose is to keep people who I love informed about my doings. Why can't I just tell people via normal means i.e. phone calls, letters, and visitings? Because I suck, and forget.
There's no other way to explain it. I simply forget that I do things, and that in order to maintain friendships I need to interact with other people. I'm rather positive that I could not have survived in time period other than my own.

I will try to avoid being introspective, because that's just silly.
