the state of the nation address

Stuart put's butter into his soup and unhurriedly announces,
"Isn't that funny, Ciunas is putting butter onto his bread. It's much easier this way, in't it? Still goes on the bloody bread."

I do scheduling monday. Hopefully it all goes well. I e-mailed David Sterritt about possibly singing me into his Visual Culture class so I don't have to wait until the 28th when I'm sure it will be full.

I'm going to e-mail Jennie Hirsch, Mikita Brottman and David (not sure who would be best, but all seem like hopeful possibilities) about doing my academic elective independent study.

I need to decide what to do for my Ind. Study with Tom (photo) that I will complete over the summer but count toward the fall so there's no extra cost.

I got into the Ren through 1855 class. 22 May to 10 June.

I'm saving up money. I'm thinking about my senior thesis and what it should be. Should I come back to Europe to take the photos?

I have a job offer if I end up coming back. Pays well (especially well since it's in euros), fairly easy, not too, too many hours, so I'd be able to get a lot of photo work done. Possible free place to stay... Must think about this. Would definitely cover any leftover flight costs and food costs.... unfortunately (or fortunately) the cheapest dates to fly (by hundreds) are the furthest days apart... IF (and i say IF with caps) I did do this.... mummy and daddy, I will spend all of may with you up until my summer classes start... yeah?? (you're gonna be gone in august anyway) haha. we'll see. you'll see what i mean when you get here and don't want to go back home either!!!! but maybe i won't spend THAT much time away... oh so many things i want to do and so many places. oh my oh my.

i'm so so so tempted to just buy a one-way ticket and figure life out from there. or at least a month or two of it haha.

Tomorrow is the opening. All ready! Party at the hotel afterwards to celebrate that and my birthday and Xhavid's 35th birthday and Carra's 20th birthday. Pat says he will still make me finger food even though the kitchen's technically closed and he will find out about music.

Chris just got out of work at Monk's and we're going to eat dinner in the hotel probably. I hope so because my stomach is eating itself!!! and talking to Marissa online, so that's nice. I do miss my lovely California girl!
