I've broken the number one rule for new bloggers--I stopped posting altogether. It wasn't the usual "oops, forgot about it" thing that happens with any kind of journaling, but mainly the fact that my computer died for good. And I could have made time to go to the library and blog from there, but between the end of the semester and Feisty Boy and I hitting a very rough patch, I just couldn't. And then I went on vacation with the lovely Kate, to the land of no wireless. I didn't even get cell phone reception. It was most enjoyable, but I'm glad to be back and to be the propietor of a shiny new MacBook.
Summer's lazy, despite my intentions to get work done. Officially, I'm doing research full time. But between my part-time receptionist gig and recovering from a killer semester, I'm only devoting a couple of hours to it a day. I keep telling myself this will all change come Monday, when I start summer school. Sure, that means less time in my day, but it'll be more structured. I'm not so great at that self-discipline thing.
I'm living in an apartment complex almost exclusively populated by students. So, naturally, I feel like a loser for staying in on a Friday night while I can hear music blasting everywhere and see people hanging out on the lawn. My two roommates are away for the week and other than them I don't anyone too well here. Feisty Boy lives here during the school year, so he's well-acquainted with this crowd, but, alas, he's somewhere in Asia doin' his thing. Which makes it difficult for us to have any sort of conversation. Which is not good because, a) I miss him and b) we really need to talk. He objected to something I posted online. I am upset that the first e-mail I get from him in a long time is all about that posting. He's totally justified in his objection, but I can't get over the fact that he can take the time to go see what new stuff I've put up but not to write me a decent e-mail. I suppose we're just in different wavelengths; he doesn't realize that I wake up every morning hoping for a message from him.
