Russian and West European Women, 1860-1939: Dreams, Struggles, and Nightmares

The title of this entry is a source for a paper I wrote about my character from The Seagull for LDix. Anyways.

I have not moved from the couch I'm sitting on. Today is my day of rest. Except I'm about to do Pilates™. Because I have been a lazy bum all summer and literally haven't done an inch of exercise since the first week.

Also, I feel okay about having a lazy day because tomorrow I'm going to be working from 7 am til 6 pm. And again the next day. And on Friday. But I have the weekend off. That's nice. I am looking forward to activities Max and I have planned for Saturday, though I might need to sleep in first. And then a full week of 11 hour days.

This is such a flaky post. Alas.

Initially, there were some issues with roommates in my sublet. Things are going alright now though, so I guess I won't complain about that here.

I have officially become a total hippy-dippy. Oops. The thing is, it's not awful. I just think more about my thoughts and feelings than I did before. If that's even possible. There are worse things. Right?

In other news, I'm coming home in less than a month. I have mixed feelings about that. My schedule is great, though I'd just rather not. OK. Things I'm excited about for Fall '08. Ready, set, go:

1) I'm not in a Krannert show --> less bullshit.
2) Sunday dinnerz.
3) Global Inequalities and Social Change (it's a great class. AND a GenEd. What could be better?)
4) Being in choir.
5) Living in 712 with Annah and Amy.
6) Having Ana across the street. And she's renting from Mr. Butz, who lives next door to my gramma. He's 80 something and still water skis.
7) Hanging out with CCorn some more. Turns out he's a cool dude.
8) Not to be a copy cat but: BOXED WINE.
9) Pilates and Abs of Steel.
10) Farmers Market.

Kthxbye.

1. I have mixed feelings about moving in less than a month too. Also, I don't know my schedule yet. Gah.

2. Heh. His last name is "Butz". Heh.

3. Ooh, choir. Fun times! Which one?

1. When are you moving in? Do we overlap? I'm leaving on the 12th. A bit earlier than I had anticipated.

2. I was hoping someone would pick up on that. I was also hoping that that someone would be you.

3. Women's Glee. Not my top choice, but it will be nice. I just don't like women's voices much. If I had my druthers, I would be in Men's Glee. Alas. [Actually, I have a guy friend who sang in Women's last year. He's a high tenor. So you never know...]

I'm moving in on the 16th-ish. Boo, no overlap! But I wanted to stay in IL to squeeze in as much boyfriend-time as possible before I had to go.

Also, we're twins! I was in that choir my freshman year! I enjoyed it (although I'm the opposite - I prefer women's voices to men's), but I hate girlie clique-style bullshit, and there was a little too much of that for my taste. I enjoyed the experience, though!

Yeah, I'm wary. But I'm planning on going, singing, and not talking to much of anyone. Hopefully that will work and be nice. Realistically, I will be sucked into the grossness a tidge but maybe I'll stay a bit removed. Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?

What a bummer, about us missing each other. But I totes understand. Perhaps I'll just have to come visit some time and send my regards to S-ville once more.
