Hittin this shit early today.  I was in Boston for the weekend so didn't even fathom an update till maybe yesterday, but I was mysteriously sick like whoa, so it didn't happen. 

L-l-l-l-looooooooathinnggggggg:

• I'm tired as hell and realizing what I have to finish in the next 50 hours (oh fuck me!!!!! when it's put that way)
• The bulk of what remains for me to pack is clothes and shoes, two items that I have a lot of
• I think a teacher was just hitting on me and he's got potential attractive going on and is totally close to me in age, but somehow it still makes me feel weird
• AND ANOTHER THING.  I just though about this, but in Never Been Kissed, it is not okay that the teacher was hitting on Drew Barrymore's character, I don't care that she was actually thirty-something, especially since he thought she was a teenager.  Why didn't that get more negative press?
• I have to give my Mac back to the high school tomorrow, which is SAD
• I'm kind of being forced to drive my old car for part of the day tomorrow, and its front brake system has a lot left to be desired.  The problem is that I've had the brakes go out on that car before (got that fixed) and there isn't anything scarier on the planet than having that happen, especially when you were on the highway four minutes prior.  Either way, the three miles I travel in that vehicle tomorrow will be harrowing, I can tell
• I am not getting shit done at work
• Man, oh man, I'm having some eye issues .. meaning I can't see worth a shit, and I'm not sure why since I JUST got a new prescription after going to the optometrist once every six weeks for like six months
• I'm having trouble coming up with English words today - not sure why
  

• Only fifty-six-ish hours left!!!!
• I just got in contact with the guy who is going to come into my house and bust up my couch and take it away .. leaving my living room with nothing in it
• I seriously think I have completed every address change I need to change, which makes me wicked good at knowing what it is that I receive in the mail because I only started this address change business last Thursday when it hit me that, f!ck, I have little to no time left for this nonsense
• The piles on my desk are diminishing, which means I am consolidating - financial people tell you to do that, right, even though this type of consolidation has nothing to do with money
• Feeling better from the mysterious sickness.  I think it was emotional more than it was actual, not gonna lie
• Jezebel
  

I am currently at the laundromat stealing internet from god knows where.  If this were a more difficult task, obtaining contraband internet connections, I would definitely try and make that my job.  I was going to take pictures using Photo Booth to show how excited I am this is working out *and* that I'm getting laundry done, but it would be hella obvious what I was doing.

Melikes:

• Sort of feeling like I'm accomplishing things I needneed to complete before I move - this is the last time I will be doing laundry here in Never Never Land (unless I get the itch for some reason next week)
  
• Having an actual project to work on at both jobs for the first time since I began, despite the fact that I'm leaving next week
• Getting things packed and making it seriously seem like I'm done
• My current Netflix situation

• Trying to find summer, work-appropriate clothing - I figured out today that I HAVE NONE!!!!
• This stupid Delilah radio show they play at the laundromat
• The ever-growing list of things I need to do before I leave, and the fact that I have no one able to help me with them .. maybe that's what I enjoyed about having J around, he was seirously helpful when it came to getting shit taken care of
• The ridiculous heat that I can't wield off in my apartment - second and third floor anyone??
  
• I called some mover guy today and he told me it would cost $1100 to move my shit from here to Boston .. jigga WHAT???!?  I call bullshit, for real.  And yet somehow a Uhaul is only about $150 plus gas.  Please tell me that two moving fellas moving a queen-sized bed and a small desk is that $800 extra.  Cough, cough, BULLSHIT, MOTHERFUCKER!!

Lovey:

• Not being exhausted like I was yesterday
• Finishing my peanut butter and marshmellow fluff at the same time
• I, without a doubt, have dos (2) Netflix movies waiting for me in my mailbox
• Ooh!  So I decided this morning that I was going to take the small(ish) pile of mail I had lain atop my microwave and just deal with it all - bills, bills, bills (thanks, Destiny's Child), activating a credit card, and my Amazon.com $25 gift certificate.  Some of the mail were medical bills from last August when I broke my elbow.  I was still under my father's insurance, which is in the Midwest (only 25 days prior to getting my own bombass insurance, go figure).  Anyway, they kept telling me that I could only have out-of-network coverage if it were an emergency and I called them maybe ten times to be all, "BROKEN ELBOW = EMERGENCIA!!"  Anyway, Mass Gen and the insurance co. had several rounds with each other and finally, about a month ago, I decided to forget about it for a hot second because it was hella bothersome and I was getting nowhere fast.  So I called Mass Gen today all, "Hey, so I have two bills with conflicting amounts - could you please tell me how much I owe you?"  "Oh sweetie," the thick Boston accent replied after I supplied her with my account information, "you don't have any outstanding debt with us.  You're good."  Fucking score.
• Over the course of a seven minute conversation, my sister and I solved the world's problems.  Welllllll notsomuch.  Actually, we collaborated to purchase a gift for my cousin's wedding (PS - Who in the fuck doesn't register somewhere for a wedding?), which is in July.  Further, she sent me some information about student loadn consolidation, which was mighty helpful because I called and homeboy was nice with the information. 
  
• Did you know you can get a free credit report once a year?  Yeah, so I did that today (due to thinking about student loans and because of the hospital bill thing - all got me thinking) and found out that my credit score is amazing and the only outstanding balances I owe are obviously student loans, which are all currently deferred.

• My boss is still in Utah and, thus, has yet to have a non-distracted, final discussion with me about where I will be located next year.  I have preferences and at this point he really doesn't seem to care, thereby causing serious doubt that he feels I'm competent or an asset to this cause.
• The last part of today is NOT even going by .. mostly because I'm sitting here on Facebook (ug) and Vox and random news sites since I don't want to do anything.
• Apparently I forgot to pay my credit card bill last month?  I don't remember even getting it, so ... ?  That, in addition to a $400 car repair made my bill kinda steep. 
  
• Monotonous work at the college not made for college graduates like myself .. sometimes I get a little cocky about having a degree, but I justify it with the fact that people try to make college sound so damn important (myself included - aka it's my job to tell kids that) when, in fact, college degree or not I'm still doing bitch work.  Though I suppose it will go on for a year or two rather than, say, a lifetime, but still.  I'm antsy to be in a middle management position.  Or law school.
• The ridiculous nightmare I had last night and, oh yeah, every night of my stinking life to some degree.  I need therapy.  Clearly.
  

Things I Love:
So happy I'm doing the love section first this week .. I think this is very telling. 

• The reggaeton beats blaring from my computer's speakers into my dark living room
• Being oddly sought after this weekend for no apparent reason.  It was such a bizarre bit, being in a house at a party with friends and then being propositioned like whoa by a beautiful, intelligent, gorgeous-lipped gangsta and seriously having to turn him down because his roommate is a long-term fella in my life (i.e. I've had a very hush-hush, off-on relationship with him for roundabout a year and some change).  The other roommate, as well, and a former flame all made attempts.  Very odd - I think I've gotten hotter.  Or it's summer and people's sexual appetites are virtually insatiable.  Regardless, feels good.
• Also, random girl I hooked up with this past weekend who is so not my type at all ever.  Much older and a spiritual healer .. equals the things she says are on some next level shit (something about my "earth plane" .. I don't know), equals she has no steady income and floats from apartment to apartment and I don't know if I'm ready for all that.  Either way, she was crazy hot, so score some for me and the lezzy action.
• Feeling greatly at peace with the apartment decision and the time frame with the move and, overall, just getting a life together that makes some sense.
• Spending Monday afternoon into the evening at a bbq with friends and, of course, folks I don't really know.  Free food and fantastic chats, laughing till I cried and hyperventilated, catching up with acquaintances from undergrad who in all respects were good people, I just had too many things goin to connect as much as maybe I should have.  Great weather and whatnot.  I've never been a fan of holidays, in particular those that just seemed an excuse for a three-day weekend, but this made me a believer in Memorial Day.
• Random tag sale my landlords are having that can include my things if I want .. might actually make the effort to rid my life of this (broken) couch or some random things I certainly don't need anymore.  Can we say perfect timing?
• Wearing skirts and dresses and finally feeling it for spring/summer
  

  Dressssss
• My car got out-of-control gas mileage this weekend and I have no idea why.  I got a fleeting desire to call all my friends because it was just that damn exciting, but I didn't wanna jinx it.  Now, normally I'm not influenced by the power of "jinx", but the number of miles I got was just downright freaky.  Nearly 400 miles on a sixteen-gallon tank in a fifteen-year old Grand Am.  If this is what not having a properly functioning muffler was making me miss out on, I woulda gotten that shit fixed months ago.
• The seriously weirdo mood I feel like my iTunes is in considering the music it's spitting at me.  Story:  for a short period of time I was sort of obsessed with figuring out the algorithm behind the iTunes Shuffle mode.  It occurred to me that I was channeling that dude in Pi who pretty much killed himself trying to figure out the pattern to the stock market or whatever, and I sorta stopped cuz I know how I get with math and it's likely that I woulda turned out like him or that guy on A Beautiful Mind.  Oh yeah, I'm hella nerdy if you actually know me.  (Speaking of, I just remembered that back in the day I memorized pi to like twenty-some digits just for the hell of it, and I can still call it .. so weird.)
• Made tentative Fourth of July weekend plans to go to a cabin in new Hampshire with several friends to basically do the drunk slash bonding thing.  Tentatively excited.
  

• The battery on my computer is most certainly dying.
• Impending charges for fixing the car, which is now going to be a necessity due to work location and apartment location - lookin at roughly $300, probably more
  
• My boss pulled some serious bullshit today even though I called him this weekend (Sunday, to be exact) in a whirl of excitement about finally figuring my life out.  Claimed that I couldn't work at the high school near my place because someone else was already going to work there, though as of Friday at about noon that wasn't the case, so I'm thinking that he's pulling some shit.  Furthermore, he was a bit skittish about which high school I could work at, and wasn't into giving me specifics.  Essentially he was being shady and unresponsive and I'm just pretty sure he wasn't being forthcoming about a few things.
• The moving thing as a whole - I have an outrageous couch (mentioned above) that needs to be disposed of, a bed to move (I want to keep the queen in lieu of buying my friend's full off him which is already in the room I'll be renting .. is that unreasonable??) then probably 2 other car loads that I'll turn into 3.  Boo with the smaller car (save for the gas thing above).
• I'm pretty sure I lost my phone.  Or left it at work.  Or something.  Basically I can't find it, but what else is new?
  

Things I loathe:

• looking for apartments - tedious
• that I ate an entire cheesecake in 5 days
• not having food in my house
• protein deficiency
• job searches and feeling like I have absolutely no skills to present to a company; furthermore, not knowing what it is that I'm willing to spend 40-50 hours a week doing
• the nightmares that leave me with inadequate sleep every. fucking. night.
  

• the excitement of finding new places and knowing that soon I'll be starting a new life, getting to where I wanna be
• The Wire:  Season 3
• finally getting my dishes washed
• the skin care regime
• long phone calls with my sister and my friends
  

Figured I might as well jump on board with this Tuesday thing.  Here it is:

Things I Loathe:

• Students playing the victim, feeling entitled, complaining, or just all around being melodramatic.  (All-encompassing .. good.)
• The job search, which is going nowhere fast
• My anxiety when it comes to social events with my office where I spend roughly 2 hours per day if only because they all mesh so well since they're together full days and I just .. don't.  Further, not exactly getting invites to their functions, but having them drone on about said functions. 
  
• Gas prices .. given
• What auto insurance and registration is going to cost me
• Spending nights alone and wasting my life counting down the days until I get to move back to the city.
• YouTube isn't working so I can't view Ellen's interview with Mariah Carey .. bastards
• My gym's hours have changed to 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM .. anyone notice that these aren't real hours??!?!  Equals I'll probably have to join a legit gym now.  Lame.
  

• Having my car insured and registered
• Picking out a courses for my grad program and mapping out a flawless plan
• My friends who are willing to talk to me for hours because I'm so damned lonely
• When my Netflix comes in, which it did today.
• The application binge cuz it makes me feel productive and, at this point, hopeful
• Flat irons and make up and hair products and AcneResponse and all things that are contributing to my pretty.  So girly.
• Making a dent in my list
