21

new layout. not sure if i like it.
only one week of class left. likely the last week of pope FOREVER. sad.
rajah is laying on my lap. shes a persistant old hag but sweet when she wants to be.
i'm trying to learn some italian. would love to go to italy one day.
i need to read the rest of this book by tuesday.
i need to write a paper by monday.
less than a week until my 21st. feels strange. v. strange.
grad school isn't *that* far away. scary. v. scary.

thats all for now.

saw the new pirates movie yesterday. 

johnny depp was amazing as always.

orlando bloom was beautiful..as always. 

can't wait for the 3rd one.

you know, i'm starting to wonder if this was maybe not my greatest idea...this whole--go to school and work thru the summer thing.  i'm only taking a total of 10 hours this summer and i'm only working 20 hours/week but just knowing that i don't get a break any time in the near future...well, i think its all starting to weigh on me a bit.  and if i do actually make it to december, without completely losing my mind, after fall semester and graduation, i'm going to have to get another job so i can save a little money for grad school. 

something to look forward to?
