i swear it's just one of those weeks.

i decided to pass up the chance to see "igby" because i wasn't feeling overly well at the end of my shift yesterday--something that is still continuing today. upon arriving home last night, i got into my pjs and curled up on the couch to watch the boss on "60 minutes II" and the season premiere of "the west wing"--how much do i LOVE THAT SHOW--and then went right to bed.

woke up at 7:15, the time i'm normally on the metro to get to work. aurgh--i jumped out of bed, threw on clothing, ran a brush through my hair and put on my glasses, grabbed a granola bar for breakfast and ran out the door. so here i am at work, tired, cranky, without a lunch which means i have to buy lunch either here or at union station if i want to eat (undecided as to whether or not i will at this point--as i did have a big dinner of chipotle last night because i decided my face looked thin when i got home from work) and i'm expecting a million phone calls today and i just want to be able to get through the day so i can go running (in my "i don't feel well and i'm going to pity myself" mood, i decided to take yesterday off) and get back on track. not to mention that i want to get to tomorrow so i can observe the protesters and wait for my parents to arrive...

hey, it's been a lousy week, but it's almost over, so it's all good.

i need to take some pictures of higher ground when i make the burlington trip columbus day weekend--all this talk about tearing the building down didn't really hit me until today. it's crazy to think that it probably won't be there in a year--especially when put in the perspective of all the things i've experienced there: socials (including the senior slide show--huge memory right there), a ton of concerts (including cherry poppin daddies--collin and will in the zoot suits--and melissa ferrick) and concert-related activities. thinking of kicking the snow away from behind riggott's car so he could get me and michelle down to higher ground to meet with and interview john mayer and glen phillips...i can't believe it won't be there anymore...

not to mention that i am shocked by all of the work that is going on on campus. i'm gone for a few months and there's a new dorm, work beginning on the welcome center and now this cafe cheray thing??? this is making me feel incredibly old.
