news of various import

Good news and, well, not bad news, but motivational news.

The good news is that I found an error in my budgeting - I was charging myself for full rent in Boston for August, when I'm only going to have to pay half! So that saves me $325. Nice hefty chunk, that is. That'll get me home.

Motivational news: there are 18 more days until July 26. I have 13 more psychology lessons and 4 exams to take. Therefore, it's time to do something daily, wouldn't you say? I learned interesting stuff tonight, especially short blurbs on depression and thyroid disease. I like doing schoolwork at 2am...

I have been struggling with a question for a while now: to save money, should I open a savings account first and then pay off credit cards after I get a 'safety net' built up, or should I pay off the cards first? I think that at least until I'm back in Norman, I'll work on the cards. Then I can find out more about accounts.

Jason's performance Saturday night:
artistic interpretation - 9.5
technical merit - 10
responding to suggestion - 10
consistency - 9.5
concentration - 10
endurance - 9
overall score: 10

I'd better end this before I start cracking jokes about a "artistic program" and a "technical program"... ;)

Hmm, I don't think I'll be making 9am aerobics. Too bad, it's my favorite instructor. =P

"Julia is", pt. 10

Last part!!

• Julia is feeling a lot better today, after getting a good night's sleep.


• Julia is someone who scolds people for littering.


• Julia is brilliant in love songs, as her voice possesses the required softness and warmth.


• Julia is a bit of a culture-vulture too, so expect to see the most personal of poetry, sketches, photos and loads more on her soon-to-come website.


• Julia is a scribe.


• Julia is an outstanding young woman.


• Julia is being operated on tomorrow.

Hehe. Most of those (except the last) could be considered true, from some point of view. I would like to think the singing one is true, but it's probably not. ;)

Slept until 2pm (just woke up). I don't know why Rachel thinks she can find me on AIM at 5am ;)

Watching The Breakfast Club. Good movie. High school flashbacks.

I woke up at 2, and at 3 I ate a veggie burger with cheese on wheat bread, a brownie, a glass of milk, and a glass of juice. Then, perhaps two hours ago, I had a small (smaller in area than a driver's license) piece of birthday cake. And yet, I'm not hungry in the least. Not yet. It's confusing, but hey, whatever. My tummy will tell me when it's ready to eat. :)

I realized this past weekend that Jason's cats seem like "normal" sized now. Which means that when I return to Norman, I will be accusing goldbug and Kate of using a shrinking ray on my babies. They're going to be SO tiny. I can't wait to see them again. I miss them all the time. It's a good thing I have pictures of them to fawn over.

Wonder what I'll do tonight after watching TBC. I need a shower or a bath... I'd like a bath, but I don't have any bubbles, and they just feel required.

I wonder if I'll be hungry for something tonight. I wonder what I'll have when I am. :)
