Julio

So far, I have been a chicken with her head cut off this month. It's finally catching up with me. I started a new job July 1, and have continued on at the Museum. I work Sundays and Mondays at the museum, then Tuesday through Saturday 6am-2pm at my new job. After I finish training, I'm sure I"ll be working nights.
Did I mention I'm still working on my Museum Project and my museum ed. class? I am. 6 hrs of grad school and 53.25 hours of work a week. Good idea? Not really. It's character building, right?

Isn't it so irritating when people say crap like that? Who gives a flip if it's character building? Giving your kid a brand new BMW for his 16th is also character building. I guess at least this busy schedule won't make me a total dbag.

June. Repeat of January?

I woke up to a text message informing me that my great-grandmother was in the ICU. First off, she is dealing with the same things she was in January, which is what caused the family to place her in a nursing home. She has been doing fantastic and we have all been really proud of her. She went to Laura's graduation in May (big deal because she came to Norman to sit in the house for Lindsey's {5-2007} and was unable to even go to Norman to sit in the house and wait for us for dinner at mine {12-2009}), been eating healthy, working out (or gymnastics as she calls it) three times a week, and just been doing really great.

Secondly, who sends that in a text message? My mother.

Anyway, as a follow up to Did I Just Break a Mirror?, this just adds to the 'adult storm' of life I guess.

Did I Break a Mirror?

While not always 100% successful of this, I try not to whine on this blog. Once upon a time, I wrote about interesting things like getting mugged or stalking the cute dude with the hand tattoo by accident that road the same bus line I did. Then I graduated college, moved to Tryon, hated that semester and blogged very little because of the whine factor. I started graduate school that next fall (2010), and I suppose weird adult things started happening like weird unspecific life events. That trend has not stopped.

I would like nothing more than to just put a stop on life somedays. You know how the bursar account people can put a stop on all things university, like enrollment or getting your diploma? That kind of stop? Maybe that is why I am off all day? No, that was luck of the draw, but I am glad to be at home. I've watched one episode of Burn Notice. Hopefully I can get ahead on homework, but getting any homework would be fully acceptable.

Have I paid my dues yet to this club of adult life? No? I'll keep trudging. Maybe by the time I'm 30? 5 1/2 years? Still No. 70? Surely I'll be retired by the time I'm 70. Fingers crossed. For now? My goal is to complete my two summer classes (with an A and a Pass). As for the bumps that come between today and July 27th, get ready. I'm ready to fight.

That being said, I guess I shouldn't threaten adulthood because it's been showing me who is boss. Yes adulthood, you owned me.

AC is Broken

The air conditioner cannot be helped. It has passed into junk life.

Evil Jungle Chicken

My sister Lindsey, roommate Francesca, and I went to Thai Kum Koon this evening. Lindsey had Himapan Chicken, tasty. Francesca had Pad Thai Chicken. I had Evil Jungle Chicken. Please try to argue about how awesome that name is. It was not as spicy as I was expecting since it was marked with a red pepper for spicy. It had a very strong coconut flavor because it was made with coconut milk. Our waitress was awesome. Our Thai Iced Tea was incredible, as was the hot tea. My Evil Jungle Chicken was $7.50 I think. I took home enough to eat it for at least 3 meals. 4 meals for $7.50. I'll be back to the tackily decorated, but authentic Thai food restaurant.
