Wow... some people

Was a busy and noisy night tonight - I guess on account of the Twins vs Yankees game. Apparently from all the ruckus and swearing, we lost.
Something just a moment ago happened - heard loud voices out my door, suspected foul play and so I poked head out door. LOL I ask them to quiet down and one guy around the corner who can't see me is like, "Is she hot?". ROFL!

Maybe he didn't understand that it was the RA asking them to be quiet - or he suspects my voice is all sexy? I dunno - but it was a bit funny and demeaning in one. /shrug I didn't know the person, I'm sure he wasn't "hot". hehe I just went back to bed when the resident acknowledged that they were being loud.

I know them all pretty well and feel they have a good respect for their floor - I feel good about them. :-)

Donated blood today. Am a bit tired, yet. They had to poke me once and then wiggle and then SHOVE the needle in to get it going - and hours afterward it still felt like I had a needle in my arm. It's a bit sore - but when I got home, I found poor Daryk sick with the flu :-(

So, we took the rest of the evening off and watched movies, made dinner together, and then played games and talked until we got too tired. I have tomorrow off and he may be staying home if he feels worse - we'll see what happens and hopefully hes feeling better.

Life is going so fast!

Plans begin to change

the weeks fly by

I am exceedingly happy - an altogether different feeling.

I am still stressed - but the happiness has outweighed the stress two-fold and I... just want to enjoy the happiness for as much as I can squeeze out of it.

I should be studying more German - will be doing that the rest of the night.

Sorry for the short entries - too much going through my head

Staff Retreat is this weekend - SO excited. Alan said he'd stay in my room and watch my floor. I'll make sure they take it easy on him. Maybe I'll leave some treats for him and D to have as they stick around my room. :-D

Teaching is going great - loving every minute of it. Have a few problems (as if there are any classes with no problems.. heh) but they aren't too significant.

RA job is very fulfilling - what a great floor this year /gush

Was called at around 4:30 after working at Oak front desk and it was D, asking if I wanted to eat at the Corner Bar - I was starving, so of course I ran right over there. Got lost as usual, but eventually found it hehehe
Alan was there too, so we had a good dinner and chatted for a while. Life is good - I love having so many friends and going out and having fun. Quite a new experience. I have never been so.... accepted (?) before. It feels good to have choices and invitations and deciding whether I want to do homework or go out with friends - I actually have to balance this out now. And throwing in my responsibilities as GA and RA.. it gets tough, but I'm not burnt out in the least anymore. I was sick all last semester because I had worn myself thin. But, now, I feel as if I am at the exact spot that I like to be, near the center of my own self(?). Hard to explain, but absolutely wonderful.
hehe I sound new-agey, ah well. Be it as it will- I am turning into a fortune cookie :-P

whew

Got to bed at about 3am - someone was being very noisy in the building and the bass just kept waking me up - grrrr.

Got up at 9am and got ready to do some more homework - finished up that German! Yay
Then, D showed up at about noon and we went to an auction (my first ever!) We walked about and looked at all the interesting "junk" and then stopped at an antique store - very neat place with tons (!!) of stuff to look at. Did a few stops, then met a friend of D's at a neighborhood bar and had dinner together. BLT's are good mmm

Just got home and going to start working on homework again. Planning on making Chocolate Chip cookies for my residents to bribe them into going to hall council meeting tonight. hehehe

PS Guys just look **GOOD** in cowboy hats - I'd forgotten what it did to a girls self esteem to be walking along with a man wearing a big 'ol texas hat. Don't knock it 'til you try it girls!

Great starter...

Weekend so far has included - Friday night game fun, where I, and about 6 others went to my house and played games in the basement, ran to Coldstone Ice cream Parlor at 10:55 and then headed back to T's room to finish up a good round of Taboo. Got home at about 1am, played Tetris with D some and then headed to bed. Was a long afternoon - before all that I had gotten home at 2pm and ended up cleaning and doing some of nothing.... lol was relaxing.

Today, got up at about 10am, watched tv as I got ready and then went shopping with A and W, grabbed up 3 new tops and then headed to movies with a couple other RAs. Saw The Forgotten, only one guy didn't like it, he fell asleep. hehehe It was good - a suspenseful thriller.
