Felt the earth move in my hands

The countdown is on... 5 more days. And then papers. And I still don't have a job. And I have no money. And that's a lot of sentences to start with "and."

I'm sure I'll enjoy the summer, once I've got some income, but I'm antsy for fall, and I'm looking forward to these last few weeks (well, once the papers are over!) of a relatively quiet summer, before things get busy in Sep... August, actually. It's weird--there are things about moving back to Calgary that I'm looking forward to, and things about leaving New York that absolutely suck, but on the whole, I'm just looking forward to getting out of limbo and moving forward with something. Anything.

Of course, within 6 months, I'll feel like I'm in limbo again, because I'll be applying to grad schools, wondering what the next year is going to look like, where I'll be living, where I'll be working, whether I'll be in school, which city I'll be in...

Seriously--do things ever settle down?

Other than that... I've got an amazon gift certificate, and I really, really want the "American Dreams" DVDs, but they're almost $90, so I'm going to try and find them on ebay instead. Oh! And if you've ever wanted season 1 of "Everwood" on DVD, this is the time to get it--it's only $19.88 on amazon. Amazing! Plus, you'll be boosting the sales stats, which will help convince TPTB (The Powers That Be, if you're not up on fandom acronyms) to give us seasons 2-4.

By the way, I just decided (and I'm going to count Dad as my henchman here, even if he doesn't know it yet) that my new mission in life is to not only get Mom chatting with friends online, but to get her involved in some sort of online community, on a forum of some sort. Hee. Can you imagine? That would be so cool!

Yeah, right. Isn't this enough of an online community? Besides, the people I want to chat with (family and friends) are too busy to be online waiting to chat--except for Di, of course, and we'll see how that works out! I don't ever see notice that you are available to chat when I'm on!

Mom

Not to say Di's not busy--she is, esp. during the school year. She's the only one I know of excited about the possibility of chatting with me!

I chat with Dad lots--you're just never around when I am. But I'm on a lot--mostly in the evenings these days, though, since I'm in class all day.
