Life's not SIMple

Okay, so it’s that time for the monthly blog post that I seem to have become too busy to make.  However, as this blog has been being kept (yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s grammatically accurate) since June 2011 and there has been one post made at least once a month, I am determined to keep it up.  For posterity and all that whatnot.

Since my last post, two pretty cool things have happened.  The first is that I got the job at JBA!  I’ll be a preceptor for Dr. D’Agostino’s creative writing course whose name escapes me, as well as a sort of “camp counselor thing” to a group of girls for three weeks in June.  So my summer is pretty much planned out!  I’ll spend the month of May staying with Kat invading her personal bubble in her apartment (hey, at least I’ll be paying half the rent) and then June will be spent back on campus for JBA.  What does the month July bring?  That brings me to my next “pretty cool thing” that happened.

So there’s this guy.  His name’s Theo.  I like Theo.  He’s my boyfriend and he makes me all fuzzy inside.  I could go on and gush, but his head would get too big and people might want to shoot me due to my gushiness.  Suffice to say that this dude is the bee’s knees (do bees even have knees?).  He lives not toooo far away, but definitely not in the state, so we can now correlate my two points: travel!  At the end of JBA I’m going to catch a ride with Kat and her family on their way down to Florida for their annual vacation.  They’ll drop me off and voilà: I’ll be with Theo!  I’m excited, to put it mildly.  After spending some time with him, I’ll fly to KY to be with my family for a month before flying back to MO to finish out my final year at Truman.  Oh, boy; talk about terrifying.

So I’ve been intensely stressed lately and Lauren, Kat, and Theo are the only ones keeping me sane.  I’m meeting with my advisor tomorrow, though, so hopefully he can help me clear my head a bit in terms of some decisions that I need to make.  I’ve also got an English paper to revise, a French paper to write, not to mention other French work I need to prepare.  Oi.  The Sim I made of myself graduated university with all As and on the Dean’s List—why can’t real university be that easy?
