I've been back from Wellesley for a few days now, it was wonderful to be there, but at the same time in some ways it's good to be back home again, being at Wellesley brought up a lot of those bad feelings for me again, and it was sort of a relief to leave. It was wonderful to see so many friends again, I really missed people and it was so good to catch back up and just get to hang about with some people whom I love so much.
Went to Manray on Wednesday and saw a costume contest, and went to Rocky Horror on Friday and Saturday nights, also JD and AJ were having a party at their new appartment which was fun to do and see on Saturday night well into Sunday morning, stayed there until about 8 that morning and then went back to Wellesly. On Saturday day I went and saw Dave at MIT and we hung around with his girlfriend Emily also and had a nice time, though they had to study for a while and I just read in a corner of the bed, it was nice to have some downtime and not be running around every moment.
Oh yes, and I got to kiss Legolas! Just kidding, got to kiss my friend Douglass who was dressed like him for Halloween, that was fun, elfy goodness!
That's about all, the Rocky party was, well, it was a rocky party, so that should speak for itself.
And that's it, it was a good week or so there and I had a nice time just being out of Boulder and catching up with some good friends.

I archived the page, it was long past time to do so.
So if any computer illiterate people are out there wondering where all the entries went, well look in the archive.
I'm getting ready to visit Wellesley tomorrow, I'm going to have to leave at about 5:00 in the morning, so I'll have to get up even before, and my dad is driving me to the airport.
The original plan was that Aileen would pick me up at the airport, but it turns out that it would take her far too long to get there, so I'm going to have to get myself to wellesley.
I guess I could have taken the T by myself and everything, but since we all know how independent I'm not ... well that didn't sound so appealing to me, so I decided to just give in and call a cab. Besides if this job offer pans out I will be much better off in terms of money and that would be a much better situation to be in than the one I'm in now.
I hope that I get this job, I would be helping this woman take care of her 3 kids, I guess I would basically be trucking them around town and keeping an eye on them, helping with homework. Stuff like that . It doesnt' sound like it could be too awful, no not at all, and the pay is really good, an hour sort of good, which is fantastic for me, that would really solve a lot of problems.
It's been snowing here, it's beautiful, all the snow is just piling up on the streets as I listen to the Afghan Whigs, and am all comfortable and electronically connected at my nice desk. It's good to know that it's out there just coming down, a comforting warm winter sort of thought.
I have a lot of my winter clothes in the basement right now I've got to get my ass down there next week to switch out some clothes, my dresser is really small, and there's not that much space for all my clothes without cramming them in, I don't even have a very large wardrobe or anything like that, it's just more like a lack of spape, I loved the dresser so I chose it in spite of some levels of practicallity.
A certain friend has offered to buy me a very nice gift in return for a great big chunk of my music collection burned for him and I think I may work on some of that burning later tonight, or at least next week if I don't get it done now, there's too much to do it in one piece, so I've just sort of been squeezing it into my free time, but in the time between me putting all this music on my computer, and when I burn it all off and then delete it from my harddrive to save space, it's funn to have the whole music collection right here on my computer.
I don't know since I'm asking for an i-pod for christmas I may just want to leave all this music on here so that I won't have to copy it all on again when christmas rolls around, assuming of course that I get the i-pod, but I think I will ... it will be a truely super gift, I really look forward to it .
I'm also looking forward to being at Wellesley, I talked with Bethany endlessly on the phone last night ... just catching up and everything and it's reminded me how behind I am in the lives of my friends, not that you need to know everything that's happening in someone's life to be their friend, but because I WANT to know what's going on with them. ... it seems like no matter where I go now, life is continuing on without me to some extent, I live some sort of doubble life recently because of leaving for college, but it's immensely complicated by this taking a year off and all the problems that I've been having.
But what I really wanted to post and say is that I'm leaving tomorrow so I won't update this for a while. that's all.
