Lame

Me. I'm lame. Because I just read an article about employers Googling job candidates and I figured, if I've got a blog, and an employer may one day Google it, it may as well have an entry. So, because of my strange sleep pattern, I am up. And because of my lame-ness, I am posting.

So, Pedro/Rover is the cat that has been sleeping on our front porch for probably 2-3 weeks now. At first he slept on the wicker loveseat, but when it started to get cold, we bought him a little home in a cardboard box that protects him from the wind. We've been really diligent about feeding him, giving him milk and water. He's the cutest little guy - just still terrified of us. Yesterday I got him to eat out of my hand, but today when I tried to pet him, he hissed. Slow progress, but progress none the less. Hopefully, in about a week, my aunt can take him in for good. He's a good cat, and I wish he could be mine, but alas, I have another year of pet-free life to endure.

In not-so-interesting news, I am a procrastinator. Well, sort of. I have a paper due on Friday, but I may be out of town until Friday night, in which case I need to turn it in Thursday morning. So, I tried to get it done tonight, but I couldn't. People were around and talking and blah,blah, it's no new story. Tomorrow, I have a good 6 hours I can dedicate to it, and it's only 3-4 pages. I also need to revise another paper.

The week before and after Fall Break is always crazy, and this is the beginning of it. From here on out, I have 2 midterms, another paper, a quiz or two, and other normal everyday work. Fall Break will be a sweet release. Quality time with Dave, his family, my car...

It's starting to hit me that I am graduating. Today, while working in the office, I was labeling envelopes that went out to all the seniors. I went through my whole class, and it was just so strange to think about these people and these four years and my life and my future. It's still so unsure - even though I'm making progress in firming it up. Ironically, I have the part of my future secure that most people are still up in the air about. I do not have a clue as to the parts that everyone else is so certain about. Patience...

Also, I've been humming Christmas songs lately. I'm a sucker for some of those songs. Truly it's about Jesus, but there is something really romantic about the secular celebration, too. All that "I wish you were here" and "home for the holidays" and "family" stuff makes me happy. My family is ridiculous, but I love them.

Ok, I can probably sleep now.

P.S. Internet games are addicting.
