I have officially declared myself to work too much. bahhh. The night I got back from Kansas City I got a call from Chrissy and found out the I was working at 6:30 the next morning. Not only that, but I worked until 6pm and did that all week. I moved some of my stuff into the dorms last night after watching Sammamish soccer get killed by MI and I almost lost my voice. Tis a little raspy which is good. Ok. I'm sorry that this is the most boring thing you have ever read in your life. I'm about to fall asleep at work, but fortunately I get to walk down to the softball field in t-2 minutes. I'm outie, but come visit in 722 Mcmahon. Peace.

Oh Baby, Oh Baby!
Last couple hours of work for the summer... and then I go back and do more work in Seattle. But thats OK. The point is that I am almost done. Of course, I will miss all of these cool chicks I work with here; Cathi, Debbie, Deb, Susan... I bid thee adeu. I definitely had a good time hanging out and getting to know all of them. I have never really spent this much time with people my parents' age before, but nevertheless it was fun.
At 1AM this morning I was out of breath from getting all of my stuff together and packing most of it up. I know, I know. I am eager to go home, but three days isn't too bad, is it? Oh well. It's a good thing that my mom gave me one of her large suitcases for a small one of mine, because I definitely don't think I would have been able to fit all of my clothes in what I came with. Leaving Seattle I had the intention of barely packing one of the suitcases so for this reason exactly, but stuff kept on piling in and before I knew it all three were almost full. This time I am trying the "roll everything instead of folding it" approach, and I think it's working pretty well. I won't be back on telling you my life stories for at least another 6 days, so bear with me. I'M LEAVING! And I can't wait to see everybody when I get back! Wahoo!

The Pains of Office Work
My ear aches from hearing myself repeat the same message on random customer's answering machines about 50 times too many. I have been attempting to keep myself occupied by reading fellow bloggers' daily accounts. It's actually been pretty entertaining. I have thus far read a great book review on "Life of Pi", which I was supposed to go out and buy by his second paragraph, and read one wedding-happy girl's entire blog about moving to Canada for law school and how she like poofy dresses. I found myself laughing out loud at the familiar description of drooling to food. The recipricants of that cheerful message better be greatful....
Come to think of it, my skills on the phone professionaly have probably decreased dramatically since I've been here. Before Hayley and Deborah left me to go to their fancy schools, we would have to hang up the phone or appologize on answering machines for filling their personal messaging systems with barely-comprehendable reminders for their "pest control service tomorrow". In a state of boredom about a month and a half back, I typed up 'word of encouragement' for all of the people in the office. Posted above this screen now lays Hayley's reminder that "If for any reason you begin to laugh on the phone, remember: hang up, call back and tell them that you had technical difficulties." Ahh, good times.
Only 4 more dreaded phone calls and then I will be free to sit and stare at my buddy list until somebody decides to mosy over to their computer and take their away-message off. Only 4... more!!

611 - 619
Talking to my future cluster-mate today, I began to realize how lucky I am to have gotten to live with everybody from my cluster last year. A little light went off in my mind revealing to me how great of an opportunity it was to live with such a diverse group of girls. Everybody was in many ways very different but we learned to get over those differences and really focus on the similarities between us, allowing us to have a great time together.
We all spent a decent amount of time together in the cluster, and at times a little too much. In the case of Angie and Shine, I suspect that you came home late and woke up late for a reason- so that you wouldn't have to deal with us. I'm just kidding, but I'm sure you got enough of us (or shall I say me) during the wee hours of 2 and 3AM.
I would think that if we all met on the street randomly, we would all go our seperate ways without even thinking about the possibility of getting along beautifully someday. Fortunately that was not the case. I have learned to appreciate everybody's talents and quirks and I think I have also learned to have more respect for other people's space when they are tired and cranky (Anne). I hope for anyone who reads this that they get the opportunity to live people who have different viewpoints, aspirations, mindsets, and states of mind.

Good Deal
I was looking up watches on Fossil.com and found this one. The stars flash which make it extra awesome, but it was $65. No doubt I was gonna check it out at the fossil store at Bellevue Square when I got back, but Debbie, a woman I work with in the office, told me about Watch Station. They also sell Fossil watches around here, so I checked it out on the website, and not only do they have it, it's on sale! YAYAH! $39 definitely got my attention, so I'm going over there after work to check it out.

Beautiful Sunsets
This is the beautiful sunset I witnessed last night.. I went to my mom's house over the weekend- well, kind of. After driving 400 miles on friday to Topeka, then Wichita and back to Topeka, my mom and I went to KC on Saturday for Hayley's surprise birthday party. It was a lot of fun watching a bunch of 16-year-olds get together and giggle. We held a big car scavanger hunt which I ended up going on. I didn't win, but I did win a big hold in the crotch of my pants from doing a cheer kick.
I come home in 6 days! If anybody feels like sayin hi at the airport, here's the info (I really don't expect to see anyone that night, but I thought I'd post it just incase- my dad is picking me up anyway):

2nd Grade Poems
I was driving back from watching UW's Vollyball team kill Arkansas in Wichita yesterday and my mom was telling me about a poem she came across in her studio that I had written in second grade. After reading it today I'm quite impressed with myself and wonder if it was me who it came out of. Here it is.. my art that you can judge for yourself:
The Mystery of the Wonder
God made the world and
God made the sea,
A woman mad a man
Together they made me.
The whole world's a family
Other countries too,
Roses and trees,
People and the marabou.
Houses who are alive
Made green of tree,
Plump feather pillows
Alone just for me.
Pictures hanging on the walls
A meal of teast and jam,
In the forests, waterfalls
Splash! How soaked I am!

Mmmmm... Da Vinci
Ok... So the Da Vinci Code is officially the best book I have ever read. For those of you who know me, I don't read for fun- I barely muster up enough will to read/ skim my text books! This book is sooo awesome that I just sit for 3 hours at a time and turn page after page anticipating what will come next. My butt is usually painfully numb after 2 hours, so I sometimes massage it for about 20 seconds until I have to know what happens next. So you get the point.. its an awesome book and you should read it.
In other news, while I was sitting outside the evil empire (Starbucks) last night reading my super cool book, I got a call from Chrisy, the UW trainer who oversees me for softball. She told me she was it Witchita, KS so I assumed she knew I was only a short 3 hour drive away, but surprisingly enough she didn't until I told her to come visit me in KC. So that was wierd because it's not too often that your school's vollyball team is a few hours away while you are in the middle of the country. I think they're having a tournament there at Wichita State, so I might go and watch on saturday... Gotta represent! You know!

Online Stalkers and Illiterate Go-Fishers
Ok so funny story... so I was playing go fish with Nate on yahoo the other day with this other random illiterate person who persisted to hit on me while we were playing. His english was clearly horrible so I asked him if english was his first language. Confused, he said, "yes, y?" and I then asked him if he was American. Again he responded with a "yes". As hard as it was to believe, he told us that he was 18 and that these "two hot blond chicks forced [him] to have a 3 way with him"- I must remind you that this info was completely voluntary... all we wanted to do is play a simple game of go fish... is that so hard??
I was telling this story to my office manager, Cathi, and she asked me if I was afraid of crazy people stalking me online. Thinking back I probably could be stalked because I gave out too much info while in middle school, but I figure that I'm pretty safe now. So I decided to show Cathi how to use AIM and confirmed with her that people could not stalk her when she used it and that "no, random psycho people [could] not talk to her" if she didn't want them to. After setting up an account for her, I got back to my computer and told Nate to IM her, only to hear her freak out and say, "somebody just talked to me!!". Of course I burst out laughing and told her that I told my friend to IM her. Ahhh, good times...
