quick hits
* i've been going to a remarkable number of baseball games lately... remarkable regarding how much i don't actually watch the game. i went to 2 this past week! the first one, we left The Local by the 6th inning to get in the gate for the last couple of at-bats, but saturday i was there for rounds 1-9... mostly because we had sweet terrace-level seats.
* i definitely pulled a rockstar week this past week >> happy hour with the teams after dodgeball on tuesday, taking the day off wednesday with it culminating with drinks poolside at The Pearl with the girls, thursday starting off at the yardhouse and moving on to schmooze (and perhaps play a little flip-cup) at The Local before heading to the game, friday keeping it relatively low-key with dinner out, saturday seeing another game where i talked the closed kitchen in to whipping me up some nachos, plus a friend's bday party that night with pre-party at my place (i've invented a fabulous cran/lemon/lychee martini action. with a twist.), and sunday hitting the ikea cafeteria for lunch with monica (no joke) before heading to artwalk with the mama-ka-zama and being water main break'd out of our car. whew!
* i cracked open one of the several GMAT books i have littering my night table last night, and was immediately struck with the realization that a) i don't remember algebra, and b) i have gotten in to the habit of truly not reading. i read one question and was horrified to find i didn't get a single question correct because i just wasn't paying attention to the passage. i was immediately knocked off my high horse of assuming at least i'd rock the english portion of the test.
* i'm back to not sleeping lately and it's really starting to bum me out. it seems when i do sleep, i have awful dreams of unresolved issues (let's be honest, it's singular ISSUE), so even sleep isn't restful as i wake up fretting over something that i suppose i have the power to do something about... but i lack the guts.
* even though it's only monday, i'm looking forward to this week being over. i have an event on wednesday that no students are coming to (BOOOOO)for some reason (despite my begging and pleading) and am prepared to have my ass handed to me on thursday morning for the lack of attendance. yay.
current mood: gearing up for another week.
