one long paragraph

as usual, life is full.

i cooked dinner for my dad last night. we ate and talked about grad school and about mom and about matthew and sarah and about virginia tech sports and about the library of congress. which, by the way, is filled with old people, eccentric people, and mostly eccentric old people. i love it! i took the GRE on sunday and did well enough to not have to take it again. i've contacted everyone who is going to write me a recommendation. i need to write a personal statement. but what is a personal statement anyway? i bet those notes alec sent would let me know. dana helped me study for the GRE by quizzing me with flashcards while we walked between six and seven miles around dc on sunday. we sat in meridian hill park and were immortalized on a blog. this was after coffee but before the zoo. it was beautiful out. we saw steve on the street, and we all hung out for a while. a strange man fell asleep on me on the 92 bus. david and luke and his friend leland and devan and justin and his friend and laura and gabrielle and i all went dancing saturday night. it was good to loosen up the night before the test. i got to wear my new dress and my yellow tights. laura has a new job. andy was here the weekend before and david for a little bit. he and devan and david and gabrielle and i went to dance and we made friends and that group minus david but plus alec saw a movie about infinity and black holes. i bought a kite. devan flew it successfully on the mall. it's a panda kite. it's this panda kite:
sometimes during the week, work gets stressful or time seems too short or both, and i end up feeling like i'm in a slump. but then i have great times with great people and i feel all better again. or the weather gets pretty and i feel great again. i think the cold kept me too much inside. my room is a disaster. i haven't done laundry in five to six weeks. we have our own washer and dryer. gabrielle made me a delicious meal before my GRE. the man who checked me in at the test site at howard university told me to "kick butt." i drove to work twice last week. i drove in the far left lane of the beltway. a client yelled at me. i messed something up, and i feel bad because i like her. it's all fixed now, but i still feel really badly. i think that means this job isn't for me. they say no proposal you send out is ever as good as you want it. i don't think i can deal with that. grad school grad school grad school. i might actually be going to guatemala again in june. i made a scarf recently. trivia was crowded last week. we've gotten third two weeks in a row. maybe we'll do better this week. i think there's a russian literature category. we have monday off work. i hope the weather is nice, but i'm not sure it will be. i'm still reading the rainbow. there was a really sexual scene, but it was really just two people carrying wheat. today i bought a banana phone. why? i don't know. in general, things are good. especially as long as the weather is this beautiful. what if i have seasonal affective disorder.
i'm pretty sure i don't. i'm pretty sure i'm just tired right now. actually, the more i think about it, the more i remember how great things are! i wore my glasses today. someone told me i looked like a librarian. i start volunteering at the library of congress on saturday. i think i'm going to do laundry tonight. maybe i'll craft. i just looked up "bunny crafts" in google image search and found this:too cute!
