I'm going to A's grad party in DC November 1st. I'm getting excited. I'm going to stay with E. These women were my saving graces in my first post college year. Now, A will be Dr. A. We're getting old. It'll be good times. I need something outside of seventh grade and my puny, collapsible world to look forward to. I've been friends with these amazing women for about half my life (half come May). There is some deep consolation in tested friendship. I can share my rawest disappointments and laugh my dorkiest laugh with them. Yay, A!!! Yay, E!!!!! And, they're awesome and single-- I don't get all Bridget Jones around them... or just the charming aspects of her character. They get it.
I'm reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer; it's very hip young adult fiction for girls. And, I can see why. Edward Cullen is one hot vampire. What girl or woman doesn't swoon at the thought that kind of unerring devotion from a worthy suitor? Which is why it's young adult fiction-- I catch myself rolling my eyes sometimes. Yet, I'm plowing through it like a Sumerian. We're going through the Fertile Crescent this week. I think I'm enjoying the ancient history far more than any of my students. Well, my two biggest geeks are enjoying it as much as I am.
It would be hyperbole to say that I ENJOY my job, but the weeks sure do fly by. Zoom, zoom. I'm going to reach the brink of my mortal flesh quickly at this grueling pace. But, it's better than watching time pass like an inch worm. Inch worms are so compellingly awkward-- we're soul mates.
I had a great Spiritual Direction appointment last night; he makes me laugh. We chatted about my perpetual disappointment. We decided I need to be more disciplined in journaling, Scripture reading and exercise. No big surprise there.
