I'm not sure how an entire week has already slipped by, but I guess it's a decent indication of how active I've been lately.
Work is going great. Not only do I still love the job but I'm also much better at it now. Right now I'm torn between dropping it for the Old Job due to time constraints or possibly cutting back my class load just so I'd be able to continue it; I'm not sure what would work better but I need to decide soon, because classes start in a little more than a week. I don't really want them to. The last thing on my mind right now is going back to school. I finally have a job that I love, that's great exercise, that pays well and that makes me feel proud of myself and I don't like the possibility I'll have to give it up. It's been over a year since I've been a full-time student-- I had to drop out for chemo two semesters ago and only took one course last semester, remember-- so the task of diving back into the fold also seems a little daunting. And so much has happened in the past year! My priorities have changed. My tolerance for bullshit and stupidity has plummeted, too, and if there's anyplace that's rife with both, it's a college campus.
I was able to hang out with my friends a few times over the week, and yesterday was the Day of Reunions. Luna, one of my best friends here who moved away after graduating, has moved back to Athens for several months, so we had lunch and caught up on things. Matt and I then went to the party of his friends, Julie, who he'd lost touch with for a while. It's make me realize how much I need to get ahold of all the friends I haven't spoken with in a while... One of my high school friends got married last week and I forgot even to send a card. I'm a pretty lousy friend.
