But I set fire to the rain, watched it pour as I touched your face.

I'm writing this morning because this is the only chance I'm going to have for a while. I gave My Hebrew Friend a hard time for not writing in a while and I don't want to be the hypocritical bitch for giving him a hard time and then not writing myself. I'm at work right now. We're in between the procession and the reception. I'm so grateful I didn't have to sit around for the ceremony in this cold weather. Instead we came back to the office suite and set everything up for the reception. I really really am starting to dislike balloons. Balloons are just a pain and flowers should always be used instead. Next year we are decorating with flowers, my official decision, I'm putting my foot down. Of course I won't be here for graduation next because because I'll be at my own, but who cares they will appreciate not having to do balloons anymore anyways.


These past few days and next couple have days have been so so busy. Between work, other work, carving out time with my friends and getting all of the pre-class work done for next week I feel like I'm running on air. It's worse than finals week because I'm moving around so much and haven't slept nearly as much as I should be. Last night I got out of work at 11:30pm, knew I had to be up by 6am and gave myself sleep anxiety and ended up getting three hours of sleep. I kept rudely yawning at everyone who tried to talk to me during procession this morning. Last night Dwayne totally came through for me at work. He knows I can't work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays yet I keep getting put on the schedule and he said he would cover for me. I was so grateful to have that little bit of stress lifted, but then it was immediately replaced with my anxiety of leaving work in the lurch especially since people have been leaving and one of our more awesomer staffers was fired. But Dwayne said that it was all cool. I think by Tuesday night I'll be okay. Graduation will be done, the EQ newsletter will have been started, and Tuesday night is the first night of class. I will be able to decompress and get beer. BEER. I will also need a hug so that I still know that my limbs are functionable and then my summer can begin. Yay!


I also need to pick up the new Sarah Dessen novel. I have been so excited for this book for months and then I forgot about it. One of my friends tweeted about buying the book and I got so excited again so now I need to pop into Borders on my way to work and pick it up. Maybe this weekend I'll grab it so that I have something to do on my downtime on Monday and Wednesday. Now I am so jazzed for this book. I need to go book shopping, underwear shopping, and other clothes shopping. I need to get to the outlets, Wednesday maybe. Pray that I make a lot of money tonight and tomorrow.
