Heyo!! Hope everyone had a good weekend...I pretty much sat around and watched episode after episode of "Sex and the City" and "Scrubs" until I finally freaked out from too much inactivity yesterday and went for a long run/workout. Now my abs and legs are sore, but I was able to eat one of those new delicious waffle bowl sundaes at Dairy Queen without feeling guilty about it. Every summer, after about a week of saying "mmm, no homework for me!" every night after work, I realize how much I depend on school year events for providing me with distractions and entertainment. Predictably, I'd foreseen this wall of impending boredom and I've already taken measures to combat it. First of all, I extended a special project I'd been working on with my advisor this spring. It's on the role of the city in the literature of James Joyce and James T. Farrell, and the due date for the final draft of my 20-page paper is August 1st. Pretty exciting stuff. Also, Jim discovered this blog called "Cute Overload" and so he's been sending me photos that look like this:
Yeah. I know. I can't even deal with the cuteness. Oh, and I found this one too, which is getting my vote for Beloit's new mascot:
*Head explodes* "Overload" is pretty accurate.
Rats. Thinking about the special project makes me realize how it's already June and how quickly this summer will probably go. Pretty soon though I get to see my friends Zeva and Steve--Zeva will have just returned from her spring semester in New Zealand and I can't wait to see her!! Luckily we're reprising our sophomore year and living together again in the fall. I somehow managed to get the sweet deal of RA-ing the Clary Street apartments, which means not only do I get a giant single, but it's also with three friends of my choosing. And a brand-shiny-new kitchen for cooking! Still can barely believe my luck in getting that spot.
Ok, I think I've pretty much exhausted my blogging capabilities for today. Have a good Monday afternoon/night everyone! ~ Laura DM
