Ahhhh. It felt so good to sleep in today. Teaching lessons is an awesome boost to my paycheck, but getting up at 6:30 am for them doesn't boost my energy level. Only two more weeks of lessons, though. And then after that, about five days of work. Then a couple days to recuperate, pack, and hang out with people. And then I take off for Grinnell.

So, yes. I've started packing things into boxes that I took from work (they were going to be recycled anyway), and I've got to say that it's slightly unnerving to see boxes all over my floor. Especially since I keep running into them in the dark. I have a feeling it's going to take a very long time to move into my dorm, as I'm on the fourth floor in a building with no elevators. Oh well! It's still exciting to think about.

I recently read Tolkien's translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and found it really interesting. The translating of that text must've been a bitch. Also, Celtic myths and legends are good reads. And now I'm due to start reading Ender's Game with Becky. Weeee books!

Tomorrow is Pitchfork. Yay? I'm excited to see Ted Leo and DEPART-ment's "fantastically beautiful" handcrafted items. But I don't know when/where/how I'm meeting up with people, or if they're going at all. Sighs. Oh well! Ted Leo! Live music in ridiculously hot weather! Chicago! Hurrah!

Ok, time to start the day.

that...that's terrible.
the only dorms we have without elevators have three floors.
and some of our three-floor dorms have elevators anyway.
i'm really sorry. locomotor boxes?

Man, I'm jealous of the elevator action. The benefit of the stairs is that I'll have beastly legs by the end of the year, hehe.

Maybe I'll set up a hoisting apparatus from my window to make things easier . . .

I hope you have fun tomorrow! Er... I guess now today. LOL. And I know exactly what you mean about seeing boxes on the floor...

Yeah Ender's Game! I've read the first couple chapters and it looks interesting. Have you started/finished? For some reason I've been having problems sitting down and reading. Unless I'm in Lake Geneva, where I read two books in the span of an evening.

We should all go to baskin donuts again sometime...that was fun.

It was indeed a lot of fun! I'm sad I haven't seen Max that much this summer.

Oh, and Ender's Game is fantastic. I'm almost done, and I really want to read the others now!
