I have relatively grasped the fact that I graduated and will not be in Peoria for the next 9 months. However, I have yet to come to terms with the fact that life at Bradley goes on without me.

Spirit Week came and went without me, Welcome week is wrapping up with out me ... Kappa Delta is prepping for recruitment and SAEs are playing Beer Pong without me ...

I especially feel nostalgic when I see my sophomore year sorority sisters via Facebook moving into the house and having a blast. They don't even know how much fun and growing is in store for them ...

Granted, I am glamorizing how shitty the "growing" part can be, but it sure is fun along the way!

Meanwhile "grownup" life continues per usual here ...

I was a little bummed middle of this week because I found out that contractors can't travel internationally, while I was under the impression that we could ... But then I realized that I was getting unhappy with a job that I enjoy doing and which lets me work at home Mondays and Fridays. Then I snapped out of my funk real quick.

Life is good. Life is actually really great right now.

Thanks.


I'm sure this contentness will only last a short while and then I'll be itching for a ring, an apartment and a puppy ... but for now I'm perfectly happy with what's around me.

Because what's around me is a job that I enjoy that lets me work at home 2 days a week and travel occasionally, a perfect boyfriend (although I might be a bit biased in that judgement), friends that are always there for me whether I need a pick me up or just a fun night out, and a supportive and happy family.

Wow, when you put it like that I really AM very lucky! :-)

I am going to track the random thoughts I have throughout my day at work ... I apologize in advance if they are weird or random ...

I know you are probably all thinking "How does she have all this time at work to do nothing" Well, it's a product of being inbetween fiscal years, having your two immediate bosses on vacation and being in between projects. And it sucks. I have tons of free time during the work day but I can't use it doing anything actually usefull in my life. To top it all of I get that added sense of guilt that I *should* be doing some kind of work related activity ...

I get annoyed with people who list "Who's Who Among American *fill in the blank*. Is that a real qualification? I was under the impression it meant that you paid an organization to have your name printed in a book. Am I wrong? Somebody enlighten me.

Is it bad that I am looking forward to working at home on Fridays because I feel like I can wake up hung over and still be able to work guilt free? Probably.

I recently started wearing my Fenwick ring again and out of boredom am browsing Fenwick's (new and improved) website so I also apologize if these rablings become a bit Friar-centric.

There are a large portion of Fenwick teachers that look like they are my age. This is weird. Especially since one of them is Kyle Perry, older brother of my classmate.

This creates a sudden urge to go to grad school and teach at Fenwick. Despite the fact it has nothing to do with event planning and I don't particularly think I would like teaching ...

Probably not a good thing that I'm also taking Sheila to Fenwick info pick up after school ... Someone remind me how much High School actually sucked? Because I kind of miss it sometimes ...

Purely speculation based off of reading the Faculty Bios but ... it appears that Mr. Arlenno has amassed a small army of Jug Monitor/Speech coaches ... Weird.

How is Mr. Rodde still emlpoyed at Fenwick? ... Also I almost forgot Mr. Sullivan existed.

I was sitting by myself and then late morning a mid level manager sat next to me. She is very nice and not scary. But I feel as though I should assume the facade of doing work related tasks. Bummer.

Hey "The Krug Family" is listed as a Distinguished and Notable Alumni! "The grandchildren are involved in tennis and have been writers and editors of the newspaper." I wonder if I knew any of those grandchildren ... hmm ... ;-)

So is Charlie Creed, weird. I know him.

I have a ridiculous pride in the city of Chicaog and in Fenwick. Maybe I should do something with that ...

Okay it's almost lunch time and I really need to concentrate on something not Fenwick related. One and a half work days till the weekend!
