Excuses
It's been a long time since my last post. Yes, it has. Now I offer an excuse: I've been really, really busy. After all, college professors usually save the major assignments for the end of the semester, so I suppose that it's no real surprise. As the wonderfully entertaining stand-up comedian Brain Regan says in his "Stupid in School / Science Fair Project" sketch: "Oh no, that's due today! I had nine months to work on it and did nothing!" I've been having that feeling at least twice every day for the past three weeks. I have two more papers to write before finals week and then I can rest.
This summer will (hopefully) be extremely fun: my friend Yvette is getting married on May 20th; my brother will be graduating (. . . sometime); I'll spend a week in Nepal in early June; Jared and his girlfriend Rachel will come to visit (or so he says, but I've never completely trusted that shady fellow . . .); and I'll climb some fourteeners (of course).
I'll have to work all summer. I am now applying for a couple more jobs in the hope that I can make enough money to . . . keep working and making more money so that I can keep working and making more money (is there a point to this?!). I hate work, it's true.
