I had a dream last night sometime between when my alarm went off and when my body instinctively woke up so that I wouldn't be late for work. The dream itself was so scary and I woke up grateful that I have never in my life felt unsafe. Safety is something that we all take for granted, I think, and I need to pay more attention to how lucky I am to have my basic needs met, while others worry about them on a daily basis.

Today's List (Day 13): DIYs I Want to Try I guess my answers have been kind of lame lately, but I'm honestly not really a DIY type of person. I suppose I might be someday when I'm bored and feel the need to work on a project for fun or if I have wedding-related things that I feel I could create cheaper than I could buy. There are a lot of things on Pinterest that look fun and easy to do, but there's no reason for me to do those things right now and I really have no interest in doing them either. I'll get back to you on this one with a great answer! -------------------- Gosh, I hope tomorrow is fun. I just love the 4th of July and the past two years I've missed the festivities because I've been out of the country. (First world problems, right?) I've just really missed the fireworks and I'm looking forward to them! I'm housesitting and animalsitting for the next three weeks for the Turner's. This is the longest period of time I...

It is so amazing to me how much better my mood is when the temperatures are warmer and the sun is shining through just a bit. I've been in this weird funk for the past few days. I think it's been a combination of subconscious sadness from the anniversary of Mom's death (6 years), the realization that I have homework over spring break, my resistance to doing that homework, my annoyance with myself for having that resistance, slight PMSing, and other factors. But this morning... ahh--this morning! This morning I walk out the door and it's practically warm enough to not be wearing a coat! A jacket, maybe. And this automatically put me in a better mood. I was even able to walk in to the building from the parking lot and not be uncomfortable. Spectacular. And it might get even better as the week progresses. I heard something about a high of 63! Perhaps spring will really come this year after all. I'm pretty excited because last night I discovered that iTunes has a ...

I am so completely over the snow. I'm over hearing about it and seeing pictures of it, I'm over walking through it and driving on top of it. I'm over having it fall from the sky. But alas, it's snowing right now and we're to get a few more inches today. I knew that having those snow days would be a pain in the ass. Catching up at work on Thursday was overwhelming, but we got it under control eventually. I had to reschedule my mock interview from Wednesday to Friday. Oh, and my class that was supposed to meet on Wednesday will now meet on a Saturday or Sunday instead. Awesome. I guess I shouldn't complain. It was nice to have a few extra days off and I literally did nothing of value during those days. Tomorrow is three months until graduation. I have officially applied for two positions--both of them are advising jobs at UNLV (one in Fine Arts and one in Engineering). I basically have no hope of an interview, but I thought I'd at least try. I'm qualif...
