what's new.

hey hey hey--

i figured that i haven't really updated everyone on my life recently, and i know you've just been on the edge of your seat in anticipation. so here. we. go.

i'm done with the orchard for the year and likely forever. next year i'll be looking for a real job, preparing for grad school, or getting ready to move away to an undecided destination [although london is looking up]. so no more orchard means i'm back to the marketing communications office on campus, which is already way better than last semester. i have my very own office which is not shared with the break room or the bathroom. i even have my name on the little finder thing that you look at when you walk in a building to see where each office is located. yeah, i'm that important. AND yesterday, i wrote text for a brochure that will likely be used. if it is, that means that thousands of prospective tamu-c students will read my paragraph all over the world. that's really exciting. i get to tagalong to interviews with important people across campus, so i get to meet the most incredible people commerce has to offer. i also like that i get to do all sorts of writing in that office: press releases, campus news coverage, alumni magazine, and pr type stuff [as in the brochure and president's report]. it's good stuff.

the other biggest thing is my move across town this week. i signed a new lease yesterday and have been moving a little at a time so far, which means i haven't moved much at all. saturday is my big move in day. i've got some of my family coming to carry all of my big furniture up the road a ways [well, at least load it on and off the truck]. i will also officially inherit hamlet and franky. i have mixed feelings about them living with me, most of which stems from my sadness for them. they have to go from country to city, open spaces to tiny apartment. sad day, but i'll be happy to have a little company when i come home.

business is a little slow this month, but it will be better next month. i have faith it will all work out, because i have yet to miss any kind of payment on anything. blessed, i most certainly am. i just keep praying it goes on that way. school starts at the end of the month. my LAST year. wow. it's so hard to believe. don't ask about anything beyond next year. the simple answer is that i have lots of options and no decision making power. so, the future remains a mystery.

so.... that's my current life in a nutshell. the. end.

-lovingly-
