The news, and the not so much news.

The news:
-I went to my last meeting of NUBiLaGA last week, and it was both amazing and profoundly sad at the same time. I looked around at all the people and I realized part of how accepted and happy I have felt at NEU has had to do with them, even though I'm not particularly close friends with most of the members. That's pretty incredible, I'd say. There was a dance party after the meeting and Dom danced with everyone. Dominique Chanley is my favorite person in the world.
-I also went back to St. Stephens and remembered how much I really love being there, how much I love staying all night and how it embodies what college life really should be--staying up playing video games and chilling out and laughing, and not having to worry about drugs and drinking and crazy people. Courtney and Jeff actually came this time. It's kind of amusing how my social spheres are colliding just as I'm about to leave, but I kind of like it. I hope that everyone is really good friends next year.
-I got an interview at Starbucks in Kendall Square. I have another interview at the Starbucks right near my house on Tuesday, but I've decided that if I get this job, I'm going to take it. Because the manager was SO nice, I really want to work for her. And I think she likes me, even though I showed up an hour early for my interview. Whoops.
-If I get the job at Kendall Square, that'll also be a good excuse for me to go wandering around Boston. Which...after living there this year, I will definitely be wanting to. This past week, there was one 70 degree day, and it was so liberating. The cold and the wind and the stream of 32-and-rainy days have made me forget how much I love this city. It's like when I don't need 3 heavy coats to go outside, life suddenly takes on new meaning. It is possible for the wind to blow without my fighting down panic in the back of my mind. It is possible to walk around Boston and feel like there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be.
But not all of the time. Not most of the time. Which, heartbreaking enough, is the reason that I have to leave. But in the meantime, summertime lies ahead to be enjoyed.

Not so much news:
-I'm sick. All the trips to the gym and crazy cramming sessions on very little sleep have gotten the better of me, and I've slept about 30 hours this weekend. Whoops.
-I'm moving stuff home in about a week--my dad is coming on Friday to pack all my junk in the car and take it home. I'm just leaving a few choice items here for the rest of the week, like some clothes and my bedsheets. My roomate is leaving even earlier, I think--she took down everything from the walls and has been furiously packing, and it feels really empty and lonely in here. I can't really imagine what it will look like when all of my stuff is packed up and shipped out, too. This dorm has grown to feel so much like home to me that the idea of my room at home being *my room* again and not just a shell of a place to sleep is vaguely alarming. Unpleasant, even. I don't want to go back.

Not news at all:
I have way too much homework, and no motivation to do any of it. That...basically says it all.

So yep. That's the state of things.

Y-you have summer starting already? zomgenvy. Will you be around in late May, perchance?

[arrowwhiskers.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell I will be :) When are your finals?

[evilsimon.livejournal.com]

My finals are the 12th through the 16th of May, and I'm staying for graduation. I'll be back sometime after the 20th and probably in Boston for most of that week.

The Starbucks at Kendall? The one in the Marriot, or whatever that place is next to the COOP?

I go there every couple of days during/after work. Great people. O..kay fraps lol.

Great area to work on a warm day for sure ^^

Not the one in the Marriot, though I should probably have applied there. The one that's like...across the street.

Yeah, I really hope they hire me. :)
