We lost our cat Bruschi this weekend, and his loss hit me pretty hard. There was some crying, some awkward I-don't-know-if-our-relationship-is-exactly-at-this-level-yet hugs, and some comforting phone calls that made it much better. It also helps to know that that cat got pretty much the ultimate kitty paradise of living in otis for two summers, watching fish and half-killing things. He'll be missed.
My classes are turning out really well, my Sports Management professor is hilarious. And, of course, I got published for the first time today! I snagged a paper copy and it looks sooooo good off the internet.
Crazy.
I had the meeting for the Inquirer last night where we had to introduce ourselves with our name, class, and favorite pirate joke. Pirates aren't exactly my specialty, and luckily they pretty much gave up on the joke idea before getting to me. There are other people with the glamorous position of wire carrying. We rejoice in it. The importance of our work practically consumes us. We even high-five each other. They producers and such are a crazy bunch, which was expected. It'll be interesting and fun to watch and learn.
Today was floormate L's birthday, which lead to much celebration and food eating. We concluded it only a short while ago with a serenade of "Happy Birthday" in a very crowded dining hall. There was quite an enthusiastic applause.
Today I worked the dining hall, and while it was a little toasty, I essentially cleaned tables for three hours, and my biggest problem was being ridiculously bored. Then I headed to political communication, chatted about the RNC, and later went to mass media. For lunch I grabbed easy mac from the little campus store and then had to tell Claire that it was in fact...not disgusting.
Yesterday I got to have a long chat with friend L out in Providence, and it was such a help. Everyone has been amazing. Also, I really wanted to talk about the election, and the only one in the world I could think about who would be as excited as I was (if not more) was friend L. It felt like old times (which is crazy, because it was like what, 2 weeks ago?). I miss my little sisterhood like crazy. I also miss my shower. These are kind of icky up in Ithaca.
Today, I am SO excited to watch the season kick off for the NFL. That makes me so happy. Football is a piece of home for me, though I will miss Dad's nachos and mom having to leave the room during Redskins epic failures.
Today is an awesome day because I got published for the first time EVER! The first time of many, I hope.
