all work and no play = ADD
things in my life lately seem to be falling together and simultaneously falling apart. it's been a year now since i've been back to school full time, and i've got to say, working one's way through college is fucking hard. this is my 4th semester in a row, and while i'm totally pleased with having spent the summer taking calculus, i'm afraid my attention span needed the break. i want to spend at least 48 hours alone in my apartment with popcorn and movies and no other obligations. i want to fall asleep on a friend's couch and wake up with no pressing deadlines other than brunch at lazy jane's.
don't get me wrong, i care about school, and this is totally where i want to be. i am currently working through the effed up university of wisconsin paper-pushing system by which i will eventually have declared an official major, which is exciting because it gives me some direction when registering for classes. hopefully, sometime this decade, i will graduate with a bs in nutritional science. and maybe a minor in kinesiology.
hockey is back into full swing again...
...
... which i would write more about because i love hockey like nothing i've ever loved before, and i would love to see you (yes, you) at a game some day, but my heart's just not in it right now.
i've got homework to do.
Bri, hang in there! I can totally empathize, but before you know it thanksgiving will be here. And then winter break! Btw, what are you doing for halloween? Sb and I are deciding if we are old and decrepid and will stay home, or not.

you guys should totally come out to the shamrock! we're having costume contests with pretty awesome prizes. also, there's a huge indie queer halloween bash going on at the majestic.
you're never too old and decrepid to go out for halloween. (actually, a few years ago, some friends of mine dressed up as geriatric super heroes, it was awesome. feel free to borrow the idea)

The Geriatric Super League is always looking for recruits. If you're interested, we will need to see a picture (just for a good laugh) and then we'll process your request in 2-3 business days.
Sincerely,
Geriatric Wonder Woman and Geriatric Robin
Bri-something told me to look at your comments today, I'm glad I did. I needed the smile.
