Long Time, No Post

Wow. I didn't realize it had been THAT long since I posted. Lots has happened. I graduated. I got a summer job at WCC. I saw my baby brother sing in front of a sold out crowd at UIC Pavillion. I got another MS exacerbation (my left eye, again -- not optic neuritis, this time -- double vision caused by a leasion on a muscle in the left corner of my left eye). Whew. Lots and lots of stuff.

I just don't know what to say except that I'm awfully tired. I have an eye appointment on Thursday and a massage appointment on Friday. I don't really intend to get dressed or leave the house between now and then. I will probably have to make ice cream trips, of course. Janelle and Steve are hiking in the Grand Canyon (and didn't make it to either my or Michael's graduation this past weekend). That's okay. On the up side, my grandmother didn't make it either. Her loss. Hearing Michael sing and knowing he was on stage with Buddy Guy was pretty awesome. In a college where ALL of the 1200 or so graduates are in the arts, I am so incredibly impressed that my brother was chosen to sing. Oh, and he got an agent! I don't know anything else about it except that the agent only gets paid if Michael works. That bodes well, I think.

I signed up for some classes this Fall on the (increasingly good) chance that I still don't have a job. This way, I can get health insurance still through the school. I don't want to take any of these classes, but ... I'm going to see if I can audit so I don't have to write the fuckin' papers.

On that note, I don't know whether or not I passed the classes I had this Spring. I have to wait for the grades to come out to know for sure. I guess Dr. Gomez-Vega has a reputation for giving an incomplete if she doesn't like your paper. I feel okay about the damned thing, but we'll see. I'm sure I passed Dr. Giles class. Probably an A or a B -- and I wish I still gave a shit what the grade actually is.

I'm going back to sleep for a while. Then I'm going to order something incredibly greasy from Dari Hut and lay around for the rest of the evening.

And yes, Chris. I'm still "in" here. As you know, the last few weeks of school are exhausting and because I was grading my students' blogs, I didn't want to deal with my own.
