this week has been seriously awesome. i've been so consumed by my book and real life that i haven't had time for an appropriate blog entry. silly mander.
on monday i ordered my book with two day service. i had full intentions of sitting at home all day wednesday to wait for it. on tuesday afternoon i got back from errands to discover that ups had already tried to deliver the book and i became absolutely nutty about getting it immediately. after a few phone calls and running around, my book arrived on my doorstep tuesday evening.
i have never ever ever ever felt so passionately about a book before. i literally do not have words to describe it but it is beautiful and painful in all the right ways. it is because of this book that i now realize that i don't want to fall in love again unless it's the way that oskar falls in love with eli. their friendship/relationship is so fragile and delicate. i'm going to read the book again this weekend during my travels. it is absolutely brilliant. if i were to ever recommend a book, this would be the one.
on tuesday night, i went to dinner with kyle and servi and it was too cute. konrad (mandy's husband) is the gm at the restaurant and gave us an enormous discount. my appetizer and $22 entree cost me $13 (tip included!) at the end of the night. very nice.
wednesday was filled with mss work all day and work with my little alaney at night. from what i recall, the shift went by without incident so no complaints. one of my residents did come down to the desk and take a plant from it and sprint back into the elevator before we could say anything. so bizarre.
yesterday morning i woke up bright and early to head to the coffee shop for two hours of serious study time before my midterm. the barista with the killer high fives was working so of course much talking happened. he's awesome and we're having movie night next week... stoked!
i took my midterm (which wasn't too hard, thank goodness!) and headed back to the sweatbox for lunch and a cat nap before the y. another shift came and went and dr. greene AND romano came back for the night's episode of er. as expected, geekfest 2008 commenced upon their arrival. i love working with carole.
last night was incredible in every sense of the word. after work i headed back to the sweatbox for beverages and good talks with garrett. we left after an hour and headed up to the penthouse at lucky. kyle threw me a going away party since i wouldn't be around for hangs this weekend. too freaking cute. we danced, we talked, and then of course we went to opus. the parts of opus that i remember best involved making six people order g-ret & mander's mallow, chips&dip, and jolly rancher city. we closed down the lounge (as usual) and walked back to gar's. eric is incredible and can solve a rubik's cube in less than five minutes. he did it three times for me... totally unreal.
somehow i walked myself back to sweatbox around 3:30am and made it up in time for my little trip.
i'm currently in the place where everything seems right. i'm really excited about this weekend.
vtown and serious favorites tonight. :)
