Back in P-Vegas

So yes, I made it back safe and soundly. I've also slowly been getting things back in line, as well as slowly getting to 100% after my stupud flu. It takes a while to organize stuff, and I had a lot of stuff that I brought back with me.

I've mostly been working in the music library this week once I got into town. It's been interesting working in a small room again and not in a giant warehouse or outdoors like I'm used to when I'm home. At least I get to talk to Belinda all day. There's good conversation, and a companion that can share the pain known as dealing with Benjamin's crazyness, even if she doesnt do anything other than stamp music all day. Literally, this is what I hear..*stamp* *stamp* *stamp*..."man, I ran out of ink again!" yep really exciting times in the music library. Benjamin hasn't been around to harrass me though. It's been a blessing and a sin at the same time. I've been able to get everything from last semester done without him asking me questions that I can't even comprehend, but at the same time I also could have used him when I finished all of the work from last semester and was ready to start things for this semester. Instead, I needed to call him and go rumaging in his office for what he told me to copy. For those of you that don't know. Benjamin isn't exactly organized. So it was like looking for a needle in the Sahara Desert. yay fun.

I was doing some of that "house cleaning" that I mentioned earlier and was thinking about this semester at the same time. I guess I realized that I'm excited for the semester to start. I have 18 credits again, because I'm suicidal, but that's what's almost expected of me. hehe. I have Hist and Lit of Western Music I, which I've heard is hard, but I really like hard classes, Theory/Arural Skills I, an easy class for me, Piano Tech I, Environmental Law, Land Development and Planning, and Intermediate Conducting in addition to my usual orchestra, lessons, and quartet stuff. I'm looking forward to the Enviro Law class too. It's unfortunatley taught in the evening though (I dont like evening classes). In addition to this however, I'm also adding the task of trying to stay in contact with all of my friends more. i did a poor job of that last semester, and need to improve that part of my life. Friends are very important to me.

Lastly, I've only been gone just over a day and a half, and I already want to go back and see Kris. That will be the one thing that makes this semester seem long. But I'm off to read "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson. I've heard its a great book and mother gave it to me for christmas.

That's the news from Platteville. Thanks for reading.

Are you psychic? I was just about to get on you for not posting recently. Anywho, I've been meaning to read the Carson book since seventh grade, when I took Weaver's environmental class. I still haven't made it there, so let me know how great it is. By the way, I'm still expecting a post about the Red Lobster dinner. I heard Kris didn't dress up. You lose. Kinsey told on her. Kris, how come I heard about this from Kinsey and not from you? You and Otto are both fired.
