I have spent the last two weeks working my ass off. School is
starting for me in one week. Right now I'm just basically preparing for
next week at the TV station. Last week was RA training for housing. I
worked soooo much last week. It was 12 hours a day every day. Wednesday
through Friday was RA camp...which I had to go to. It was a two night
stay at a YMCA camp. They had group showers. So...most of us didn't
shower.
No, I'm not an RA. I was there as tech support. I took pictures and did
video taping. I also made sure the data projector and laptop were ready
when the presenters needed it. I'm fairly certain I worked harder than
anyone else there. I'm including the assistant and associate directors
of housing in that too. I worked so much I was worn out by the night
and slept early and long. What a week.
I spent the weekend recovering. Now I'm back at it, but at least it's
at my own pace now. I've been very productive while working. So, that's
good. I'm productive all around it seems. The site, though most of you
haven't seen it yet, has been slowly coming along. The new
Transcyclopedia is set up and I've been copying information over as
well as adding new information. I wish I had thought of doing this
earlier. It's going to make this site so much more dynamic and easier
to use. So yeah...a few more days of moving data, and I think it's
about time to switch over to the new look.
Sabrina and I are almost to the two month mark. So...I can easily say
we've surpassed the length of any relationship I've had within the past
five years. That's quite an accomplishment. The relationship has had
it's ups and downs. I've learned a lot about my own issues though. She
and I have had some important conversations recently about
communication and such. I think she understands how important it is for
me to hear certain things and keep in contact while we're both busy at
school. We aren't going to see each other online much now that school
is going. So, I had to make sure our relationship didn't die from
stagnation. She may have been a bit naive about that, but it's
understandable. So yeah...still going strong.
Amazed? I am too. Jess has something positive to say about her love
life. It is quite a rare time indeed. In fact, the whole concept of
Jess having a love life is odd. Hopefully that oddness will pass
eventually.
Kevin left for good this Saturday. I knew the time was coming all
summer. It came so much faster than I expected. He graduated in May and
worked here while his sublease lasted. Now he's three hours away. I
hate seeing friends leave, especially friends as good and close to me
as Kevin. When he left, I was surprised at how well I took it. It was
probably due to it not really feeling like he was going to be gone. It
wasn't until Saturday night that it really hit that he left. I walked
to the park and passed his place. As I looked over I realized that he
wasn't living there anymore. I couldn't go to visit him just to say hi.
No more cookouts. No more sitting and talking at 1:00 am on the bench
that I also walked past. I thought about it on my walk there, and when
I hit that same place on the way home...I started crying really hard.
It's even hard thinking about it now.
Sunday he called me just to say hi. It felt like normal. I told him
that I cried about him being gone. I could tell he was touched by it.
This whole year Kevin and I really bonded through the miniseries at the
studio, and just from hanging out. He was one of the only people that I
felt so comfortable with just hanging. Sometimes our creativity
clashed...but not in a bad way. I already miss him. I hope our
friendship never ends though.
I started watching Joss Whedon's Firefly this week. I've had it sitting
in my apartment all summer but never started watching it. Watching 24
took too long to get through, and I hadn't wanted to start another
series while watching that one. I'm really glad I'm watching it though.
It's really f-ing cool. I want to find the guy at Fox or whatever
network it was on that decided to cancel the show and slap him. He's
definitely one of the biggest fools in the entertainment industry.
Needless to say I am enjoying it and am looking forward to the upcoming
film "Serenity". Check it out if you get the chance.
Well, I think it's bedtime for me. I'll talk at you all some more later. Keep an eye on the site for the big change soon. Bye!
Luv,
Jess
