Mom, I finished my homework!

Eleven hours of studiousness and I am a free woman! I have read, journalled, case-studied, drawn from the outside in, drawn to music, reflectively narrated, read some more, designed my ideal classroom, worked on my cohort blog, read more, journalled more, and finally I am finished! Tonight I will go see Scout Nibblet (Nibbles? Nibbler? I don’t know) with a clear conscience, and tomorrow I will host a primo BBQ (UrHo friends welcome, of course! 5pm!)
Remember when I said grad school makes you ugly? I’d also like to add that it makes your eating habits transform into those of an 11 year old. I have been eating Totinos Party Pizzas for dinner, ladies and gentlemen. In front of my computer, plate precariously resting on a pile of books. I have also been eating:
*quesadillas
*bagels with cream cheese
*canned soup
and that’s about it. It’s like I am so deep in my head that my body is getting no love at all. Careless grooming, careless meals. What am I turning into? Ah well. Tomorrow I will eat many helpings of potato salad and also many Smart Dogs. I will drink many bottles of cold beer. Maybe next week I will eat/look like a grown up lady again.
I have been missing Sonny here in blog land. He’s keeping up on his own blog, but because of security or something at his new location in Afghanistan he is unable to read or comment on any of our blogs. Since he doesn’t accept comments on his blog (grrr!) I feel very disconnected. Also, Liz has been on vacation in Denver not blogging, so my whole cyber-life is screwed up. I visited Mimi’s blog yesterday and discovered that a certain comment-happy friend is up to his old tricks in her zone. Didn’t he retire from the Internet?
Shipwreck Days are fast approaching. Suzy will not be able to go this year, and I feel a little lost. I need some nice ladies to camp and swim with! I wish Heather lived here, and Liz. Shipwreck Days are so magical and good, they need to be shared with best friends.
Happy Independence Day!
