child of springtime, still green

I officially have somewhere to live next year! lilbabiangel888, Xiaolin and my friend April and I are living in a decently nice 2 bedroom 2 bath place not too far away from campus that's less than our current rent. And unofficially I'm the coordinator of the PEER mentoring/counseling program next year, so I'll be gainfully employed doing something that really matters to me with people I love as well :) Oh, and I'm officially going to Verona this summer! I'll be there from May 20-July 13 before heading out to New York for our annual family reunion.

It's been hectic getting a number of things out of the way before going home spring break next week, where I can catch up on more work/evaluating research tapes. Theoretically I'm organizing the TO academic conference (where I gave a presentation last year) coming up in April alongside everything else. Maybe laleia does have a point about my inability to say no. Thank goodness at least we have a committee to plan it all so that the work is spread out in a much more manageable fashion.

After much encouragement from a mentor/professor, I have a website with various snippets of writing up. Most of it is academic under the pretense that I have something to show grad schools/prospective employers (?), but I also have some more personal odds and ends there as well.

I should really stop procrastinating on a paper proposal due in a couple of hours, but once you start figuring out basic website stuff (and I mean really basic), it's disturbingly addictive.

hey future/present roomie!
When we go to IKEA and pick out furniture, we'll be sure to find a chair and put a sign on it that says "reserved for theladyrose. If not her, do not attempt to sit"

I have an urge to be especially mean and find the softest, comfiest thing and doom you to fall asleep often. *insert nefarious laugh here*

HAHA! I ran into Rose the other day on the way to class, and she told me that she almost didn't recognize me, that I looked different somehow. Then she said that she was so surprised to seeing me not in the living room armchair :P

Please resist that urge! The couch is awful enough as is already; surely we can reach some sort of compromise :D
