Old Soul, Young Heart

Heath Ledger or Joseph Gordon-Levitt? It's Joseph. I always thought that they looked alike in 10 Things I Hate About You , but now that Joseph's turned into a manly man, it's a little scary how much he looks like Heath. Their mannerisms are also very similar. I just watched 500 Days of Summer and really noticed it. Watch this video and see if you don't agree! (P.S. Small crush.)

A few things I've noticed since I've not been working and waiting for my adventure to begin: 1) Even though I'm getting more sleep and wear my contacts fewer hours because of this, my eyes are hurting more and seem to be more tired and bloodshot. 2) Even though I'm trying to snuggle my cat as much as possible, she generally wants nothing to do with me. Sometimes she's like this, but I think she's had this attitude more lately than normal. It might be because the luggage has been out and she knows I'm leaving and is mad at me. :/ 3) I'm feeling slightly unorganized about leaving but am noticing that I don't really care that much. This is strange for me because usually I'm 100% OCD and worrisome about situations such as these. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, as I don't want to be caught off-guard or unprepared. I guess if I am, it'll be a learning experience. Three days from right now I will be flying to

I'm trying to decipher why I'm feeling nervous right now, but I've been having trouble pinpointing it. I've been wondering if it's because the time is getting nearer, but I really don't think that's it. I'm more excited than anything. Prior to today, I think I was nervous because I'm not 100% sure what the work I'll be doing at Cambridge will be like. However, this morning I talked to John, my supervisor, on the phone and essentially we just chatted again about things I already knew, but it was good to actually hear them from a human, rather from an email. I feel good about it now. About going to England, I was also wondering if my nervousness was because of the flight--but up until I was wondering that, I had never before considered that I was nervous about it. Again, I get more excited than nervous about such things. I've also considered that it might be because I have this paper due tomorrow, but that can't possibly be it because it&

I have one assignment left this semester and I think it will nearly kill me to finish it. No... not really at all. I just find the assignment itself to be silly. Having all of this extra time that I don't know what to do with makes me want to do anything but what I need to actually do. That doesn't make sense. I'm also pretty sure that I did this when I didn't have time. Excuses excuses. I completed my initial packing and decided that my large suitcase is entirely too small. Though I would like to bring my whole closet, it seems as though it's not going to happen. (Darn!) My issue is not knowing what type of clothing to bring. I'm not sure if I should pack more dress-up clothes or more casual clothes. I'll be "working" 20 hours a week, which means that I'll probably need a semi-dressy outfit for Monday-Friday. I've also been told that the temperature CAN get decently warm. The good thing, I guess, is that most of my dressy clothes (tops,

I really can't believe that my time at Advocate BroMenn is over. I'm not sure that if my first job out of college was somewhere else that I would've grown as much as I did while at BroMenn. I can't express how lucky I was to have worked there, to have gotten to know the people and students in Mission & Spiritual Care, and to have learned as much as I did about life, death, and God. It was where I needed to be. It's hard to think that it's really time for me to move on. It has truly been bittersweet. I will miss this place and these people, but I will take a lot with me and I will always have that.
