I painted lots and lots of hours yesterday at Joanne's house. On the front of her house. My body is all beat up from working over there. I have a bruise on my hand. Ouch. And I got bit by something on my neck and there's a huge swollen bump. I haven't died yet so it's nothing too bad but I feel like I'm a mutant.
Visited Patrick at work today with my mommy. I hope that I get to see him and Devin tonight but I have to finish packing first.
I don't know why I'm not that excited for my trip yet. I'm going to England tomorrow for goshsakes! Maybe it's the long plane ride or maybe it's because I feel like it's surreal. I hope that I make some friends on the trip because I don't really know anyone very well. Maybe that's why I'm nervous. But really, it will be wonderous and I have to take advantage of the 2.5 weeks I have there.
I'm really worried about my brother. I need to finish packing. And I haven't done my homework. I hate calling people back.
Ooooooooh yes, I went to Patrick's for dinner the other day. I love his famiyl and feel really lovely every time I'm there. I feel warm and fuzzy and beautiful and lovely so thank you Patrick for sharing your parents and home.

Everyone is so crabby lately and I don't understand. Maybe because everyone is stressed out from work and school? But I seem to be getting the brunt of it all. Gah. Peace kids. Peace.
Shit went down at work today. Sorority shit. Friend shit. Whatever.

I went to Tower Records to drop off the "May Highlights" poster for the CSO and the really nice looking boy was there today. he always works on the 3rd floor in the Classical and Jazz section, or at least when I go there. I wonder why? He's always wearing good band t-shirts like Phish and Wilco.
I'm in like with him. He wears good t-shirts, chucks, grandpa golf hats, has a beard, and a pretty smile. He was on the phone today when I came in but he smiled at me and I guess that's good enough.

Work today was actually delightful.
I got a call from Joel this morning and when I called him back at lunch he happened to be driving around downtown waiting for his boss so I rode with him for a while in her baby blue Mercedes. And he said that he loved the mix CD I made him and listened to it a lot yesterday. Yay for successful mixes!
We had a parade to 7-11 to buy slurpees to celebrate the nice weather. Mmmm.
I haven't been stressed out today and have played a lot on the computer.
The other intern is really cool and now we're facebook friends which will help us to keep in touch after this semester. (even though facebook is a poor excuse for communication but a lot less awkward...)
Jen asked me about the flyer I created today and said that it looked really good. And I told her that I was excited about my Hakan Hardenberger flyer because "It's like my baby!" I'm a little out of control sometimes and Jen laughed at me. It was silly.
She also sent me this quiz:
And I get to leave at 3 o'clock today! And I'm going home. Weird.
Oh yea, I get to see Elvis Costello when he comes to Symphony Center. Holla.

I really want to type about all of the fantastic things that happened this weekend but I really can't. My brain is on hyper-drive and it's too mixed up to cooperate with me. Instead, I will post an excerpt from my practicum journal, in which I feel that I perhaps am too honest to turn in to my leader sometimes. Ah well. She's cool.
Week 8: 3/20/06
I’m not really sure why it’s all getting to me now, but I’ve been so stressed out at work lately. I’m learning that the CSO is a crazy place. Not crazy as in bad crazy, but crazy as people are always on edge… waiting for something to go wrong. I understand that it’s important to get the job done and to do it well but really it’s not the end of the world if a flyer does not get into print on time or if the 06/07 season brochure drops in the mail 2 days later than planned. When the environment gets all crazy like that I start to forget what I’m doing and little details. I hate that.
I’m trying really hard to do a good job and I feel like I’m failing. Today my supervisor told me that I looked really tired and asked me if I was ok. I said that I was fine but I have had kind of a rough week last week and then she got this look on her face and I quickly responded, “No really, I’m ok, I just need more sleep…” I think it’s funny when people ask how you’re doing and then are surprised when you tell them the truth. I really like my supervisor but it was funny when she asked how I was and then got all concerned.
There’s this lady on our floor named Shiffra and she’s always commenting on my clothing. It’s funny because she always wears black and white which looks really cool with her red curly hair, and every time I wear my black flowy skirt, she runs up and tells me how pretty it is. It was Shiffra’s birthday today and she made the most fantastic cupcakes with whipped cream frosting and sprinkles. She also went out of her way to come give me a hug and then announced to the office that I was “so adorably cute!” This really made my day, especially because I had to make those horrid phone calls again while trying to work on other projects.
I have this fear that I’m not doing well enough in this internship. Jen says that I am but I can’t help it. Marketing just seems weird and foreign to me. It’s not natural for me.
I keep waiting for my phone to ring. It's so satisfying to get phone calls.
I've done some big things these past two days. Yesterday I went to church for the first time since the beginning of January and today I played my clarinet, for fun. Weird. I actually miss it now.
I've been missing Patrick so much lately that it makes me teary when I let myslef think about it.
My sister did a giant and fantastic thing yesterday and when my mom told me about it today, that made me teary too. I don't want to be emotional right now and I most definetly have been overly so latelt.

entry number one! numberonenumberone!
Sarah is my new best friend and this journal is dedicated to her because she's awesome. And that's why I'm inspired to make another one of these damn things that eat my soul. She's sitting next to me and reading this so it's really silly.
I have to go to class. Peace.
