Post 270: In which our heroine is bored. Really, really bored.



Yes, that's right, I am bored. Really, really bored. I woke up at 8:30 this morning but stayed in bed until 11 because I couldn't think of any valid reason for getting out of bed. Then I sat around in my robe and drank coffee and ate bacon and checked my e-mail until about one, when I decided maybe I should take a shower and put on real clothes. Which gives you something of an idea about the pace of life here at my grandparents'. Which is why I am bored. Really. Really. Bored.



Also, I did something to my left foot at my going away party the other Friday and it still hurts. It doesn't really bother me if I'm busy and distracted, but today the mild little ache has nearly driven me mad.



Other things that have tested my sanity today: my grandma babbling at me while I try my best to ignore her and do the NYTimes Sunday crossword puzzle, the Christmas music my grandma insists on listening to, and the endless episodes of Card Shark on GSN my grandma mindlessly watched all afternoon.



I'm so bored I can't even think of anything interesting to write.

The world is mine for the shucking



I'm currently up in the mountains at my grandparents' house. I moved out of my Atlanta apartment today, which means I am officially homeless, as my grandma so lovingly pointed out this evening. (Thanks, Grandma...that totally helped with the whole "What am I doing with my life??" anxiety I've been feeling lately.)


Meanwhile, my dad gave me some sort of grandiose pep talk about how the world is my oyster. So while I might be homeless, at least I've got a really big oyster to try and crack open.

Awesome.

Oh look, I'm writing more already...



I told my dad at dinner Wednesday night about the half-crazy, half-serious idea my friend M & I have to hit the campaign trail in May when we both graduate.



"Can't you just see it?" I said. "Me & M on the road, doing god knows what, sleeping god knows where --"



"And with god knows whom," he interjected.



I nearly choked on my curry. "You're my dad! You're not supposed to know about those kinds of things!"



He raised an eyebrow. "Please."

Finally, finally almost done



2007 is quickly wrapping up: I had my last day at work yesterday (complete with totally hilarious PowerPoint slideshow presentation about me, and after-work Xmas party where I showed my true colors after a couple bottles of wine. Hey, what were they going to do, fire me??), I did my very last school-related thing by taking the GRE this morning (not too shabby, if I do say so myself), and CV and I continue to get weepy every time we talk about my impending departure.



Maybe I'll write more here now that I have a little free time on my hands? Maybe.

Quick thought that sort of sums up everything in the past three to four weeks



Apparently hooking up can turn a C into a B-, but not in the way you think. Totally not in the way you think.

Brian (aka DJ Al B. Hard) supplied the music. I thanked him by touching his 'stache.

CV and I share a moment last night at my going away party. If you weren't there, you missed a bangin' time!

Life is topsy and turvy, even more so than usual, and I have all sorts of things due Friday, so I will be out of touch with the world for the next 36 or so hours. Carry on without me and I'll catch up with y'all this weekend.
