My summer classes just finished...hoorah! I procrastinated to the last minute...I turned in my research paper five minutes before the deadline...phew! But now that I am free, free as a bird to fly high, I am just busying myself with friends and books. I probably should clean the apartment though. My roommate, Alison, moved out without even letting me know. I mean her stuff is still here, I am sleeping on her futon since my mattress in back breaking, but she hasn't set foot in the apartment in over a week and half. She's back home and Portland...hope all is well, really!
But last week was average... stress from my own procrastination, and work! I went to the beach- Florence,OR and it was beautiful. There were these sand dunes that were fun to jump around in. Later my friends and I made a sand castle...well, we attempted to make a sand castle. We ended up digging a massive hole in sand to get access to water, and then tripping in the hole non stop!haha! Good 'Ole Mo's is where we picked up some grub and headed back to E-Town! Its was beautiful day all in all. This week...has been stressful, as mentioned earlier due to my expertise in procrastination. But this past Thursday, I was relieved from my academic work. Now, all I have is work, and the hopes to finish two books - Shantaram by Gregory Roberts and Tirstan by Gottfried Von Strassburg. i just think the author's name of the latter book is amazing. I wish people still had names like that - Gottfried Von Straussburg...sounds very important and educated. People are now Chris and James...what happened to to the Thaddeus, Theodores, and Bartholomews of our generation. SAD!!! Anyways, the book is the epic age old story of Tristan and Isolde...Romance!
This past Wednesday, there was an HC photo shoot for new brochures and pamphlets. Students in the area came together and poised in awkward situation with professor's pretending to carry on a dialogs. I was in a few scenarios, but the best was with the new science prof. Sam. She had this massive horse femur in her hands, and we had to pretend to be intrigued by this massive calcified structure. Anyways, I was trying to help by asking question, so it didn't seem out interaction was to contrived. My question was - When horses break their legs, why is it such a big mishap, why do they have to put the horse "down"? Well, she answered the question, and then said, "Does anyone else have stupid questions?" CAN YOU BELIEVE THE PROFESSOR SAID -STUPID QUESTION...ugh! I am never taking a class from her.
Anyways, I have two weeks of nothing but work. Babysitting and my front desk position. I think they'll be fun and relaxing. After that, I will be going home for the month of September, to spends so quality time with my folks. I am a little worried...I tend to get bored in that town and can become quite cranky...But I guess I'll make the best of it! Towards the end of the month, I am going on a cruise...so stoked about that! It will be the perfect refresher before college starts all over again!
