last week of freedom

last book i've read: The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel
music currently caressing my ears: football tunes, as that would be what wayland is watching
general mood: very satisfied.

yes, it truly is the last week of freedom for me. i will be returning to lawrence the 19th, next sunday. at least, i won't be alone. most everyone moves back that day. but, i simply wish i could put it off. or perhaps i'd like for my hard work to pay off....

which it sort of is, even now. i have been asked by professor beth haines (of developmental psychology) to be her T.A. for the fall term. it is a paid position, and my job will be to help the sophomores that are in developmental set up for labs and prepare and what not. i was very flattered and surprised, but ultimately thrilled, and of course i am up for the challenge. beth and i have replied back and forth a few times, set up a meeting time, and i am ready to take on the position. i just can't figure out why she asked me.... there are only two that help out for the labs, and i feel so grateful to have been one of them. she cited that i was "very energetic and persistent," gotta like that. compliments from profs are always a good thing.

also, wayland has been here for the past week, and of course will be returning to lawrence with me in a week. like i said, i'm glad i'm not moving in alone. but, i should see my other roommates when i get there. alone i shall not be, thank goodness.

in the meantime, i have an appointment with junion photography set up to pick out the pictures of my brother and myself that will be showcased around the house. wayland and i will also be visiting katrina in pittsville before we head to college, which i am looking forward to! and of course there will be dinner with my aunt before i leave. and packing! i haven't even started, nor have i thought about it. oh well, better start now.... can i just stay home?

i will miss my friends (friend, sam is the only one i've truly seen/hung out with). summer was great while it lasted. it's back to the grindstone for me. i hope this year doesn't leave such a bad taste in my mouth.
