Nov. 14th, 2005 12:55 pmhappy thought for the day: waking up at 7am and realizing you don't have to be up for a few more hours. so you turn your back to the light streaming in your window, snuggle deeper into the covers, and relax.
i think, in general, being relaxed is at once the most elusive and the best feeling of all time.

Nov. 12th, 2005 09:44 amin deference to black, i'll stop posting happy thoughts for the day. i'll also stop recounting my wonderful days at work.
instead, i will leave you with this thought: i got a job offer from google.
[edit, just for Jenwa, 306pm EST:] and the happy thought for the day is unpacking books that one hasn't seen in months. it's sort of like christmas a month and a half early.

Nov. 1st, 2005 02:41 pmi totally just stuffed an envelope with a bill to Norton Juster, author of the Phantom Tollbooth. This is so amusing...I'd forgotten he was a local...now I can hunt him down and steal the Tollbooth...
Oh, and if you haven't read the book, you really really really ought to. Green/SAL has a copy, and there's one in Special Collections as well. Or you can order it from Amazon for $0.58 used. Or borrow someone else's copy...I think there are a few floating around...

Oct. 1st, 2005 10:36 amOctober 1st. A new month. A new status. A new plan.
I have graduated. I am no longer a student of Stanford University. My email account will vanish in 3 months. I am officially an alumna of Stanford University (the Western Ivy, let the winds of freedom blow, buck ferkeley, et cetera et cetera). Has anyone else noticed that while all the other prestigious universities have pretentious mottos in latin about knowledge and such, we have a german motto about the winds of freedom?
In celebration of this momentous event (ie, me actually finally graduating), I (well, actually, my parents) have bought me a present. Bon Jovi tickets. Because Bon Jovi is awesome. Unfortunately, NYC was sold out by the time I got there (1030--half an hour after they went on sale), but I bought a couple of tix for Boston. I know, I know, I'm a sucker for eighties bands. But it's only the third concert I've ever been to (the others being Live and They Might Be Giants), and we all know 3 is a magic/lucky/awesome number. Jamie said he'd go with me if I could get tix for NYC, but I dunno who I'm going to go with for Boston. Maybe my dad. That would be kickass.
And I don't really have a new plan, but it sort of fit with that whole new start thing. One can hope that I'll formulate something cool, though. Like a job (she says, as she's writing this at work...). I got to open the store today, and everything seems to be kosher, so maybe someone will recognize my brilliance in the workplace and hire me.
GRE in five days. God, so not ready for it. Who said October could come so quickly?! And just think, 2005 will end soon. There's a scary concept. I still remember New Year's 1988.
Time to innundate the store with the sweet, sculptural rhythms of Bon Jovi... ;)
( Oh, and meme! )
