MIA minutes

work on book
go to reading, drink too much
enjoy reading
have meeting with other grads, drink too much
work on book
buy burrito and carne asada tacos
flirt (very very poorly) with someone I shouldn't flirt with
dance
talk with lw
attend crit panel
feel huffy after thinking about crit panel
feel even huffier when lw agrees with me about crit panel
work on book
avoid working on book
become secretly addicted to Court TV
visit with lh and n
frolic in icy playground with lh and n
detach icy coating from leaves and admire the light through crystalline veins
get turkish food with lh and n
get thrown in snow by lh
throw lh in snow but get even snowier in the process
revel in my snowboots
revel in the inches of snow
work on book
work on other things
avoid reading 500-page book
discuss subletting options with c2
eat some of c2's rigi or zuzi or zizi or seesee or...
discuss job possibilities with everyone
avoid pursuing job possibilities
work on book
take book spreads to Service Bureau
feel nervous
forget everything
make three return trips to house to collect the items I forgot
pick up drafts of spreads
suck in my breath when the drafts are $30 more than expected because someone (accidentally) misled me about the pricing difference between Premium Bond and Newsprint (the latter being $.50/page more than I was told)
hold my breath as I pull the spreads out of their wrappers
let out my breath and feel like weeping when I see them
think they are absolutely beautiful
order the rest of the copies
vow to turn in cheapy versions for my thesis, so the beautiful versions can be mine all mine
feel guilty about this vow
work on cheapy version of book
re-schedule
realize how much I like my friends
realize how lucky I am
realize how exhausted I am, and vow to spend entire holiday break drinking hot chocolate and relaxing
stay up to 5am almost every night
stay in bed until nearly noon every morning
forget about my responsibilities
work on book

'almost done, you can do it' has been the mantra for awhile now...

miss you wretchedly

and wanted to say i got the idea of how to make my book cheapy for the dept by seeing how you had your thesis bound sideways... went and studied it in the library. so, I'm going to do the same thing with my spreads.

good saving moment, wigent.

talk soon

man, so ready. to yell on the sidewalks. shake the fists. make something else happen. after the hot chocolate of course... even if the adviser told me today to rethink the caffeine dangers of said beverage.

& lolly, will see you soon and totally promise to (again) kick your ass at pool and air hockey both. good luck with your own deeds, too.
