i should prolly get to bed...
Aug. 11th, 2002 02:58 am...as i have a fucking paper to write tomorrow, but... i haven't yet.
reread this and it took me back some. not somewhere i want to go right now, either, as i'm trying to get acclimated to the thought of moving my bed back to its most optimal place in the room in a month or two. hopefully, by then, i'll be ok enough financially to bribe someone into helping make my room look livable...
its been a busy-ish weekend so far, and i'm not really looking forward to tomorrow.
yesterday, i got home from work a little later then planned, and despte screams from my wallet, went out for indian with
tobi and
kronosoam. i haven't had indian in around a month, and my mouth and tummy definately applauded the decisions, and it was good to get to spend time with tobi & meet ron.
after dinner, i came back here for a quick change, and headed off to pick up
sol3 and
kajmal to go to nantasket. and for the record, they're wimps. they may say the water was "freezing", but thats all lies - the water was chillings refreshing and exhilrating (and damnit, splashing around in the ocean is less fun alone). so pbthhhhhh : )
but going to the beacj was definately good. running into the cold water felt great... the waves were the biggest i have seen on the east coast thus far, and it took a lot of effort not to run out to the bigger waves crashing further offshore (as doing so by myself, and at night, is just a tab less then safe).
he happened to challange the ocean to come to him, and it looked like the ocean listened - as the tide rose, we needed to pull our blanket in like 3 times before ending up over by the edge of the beach, and then needing to clear out.
but yeah, beautiful night, waves & ocean. i'm enjoying concentrating on that : )
today has been less productive, but good.
took a bit longer then i expected to get up & around & breakfast'd (with lunch food) and then ended up doing my looking for articles at his house (and a huge thank you & apology to you for the printouts), which turned out to be a much more frustrating prospect then i imagined.
the professor made it seem like finding articles online was a breeze. finding info about them was. but... most articles didn't have the full text online, and off the few that did, more then half required payment. i was teetering on giving up a few times. in the end, i came out with 7 mediocre artciles and tomorrow faces the task of weeding out 3, reading the remaining 4 and then writing the damn paper.
i'm also kinda hoping to score brownie points for handing it in early : )
tonight, i went to the club for her birthday, and though i was a little apprehensive due to my mood (which was caused by school-stress), i ended up cheering up while there & having a good time. i definately danced more then i have in a long time.
*giggle* spent time discussing with pope tom my dilemma as to what i lost that random guys don't buy me drinks anymore. even tried testing out a theory he gave me, and still no dice.
*yawn*
sleep sounds too good now.
i'll prolly be posting exasperated entries tomorrow.
with all luck, it'll be after a yummy brunch *hinthint*

i'm glad : )
i'm hoping to plan more trips like that before the end of the summer - typically, i'm more likely to do something like that on a weeknight, but my weeknights have been sucky this month because of class - luckily, i've got a week and a day left...
