anam cara

It's only been a week, but it feels like a lot longer. Well let's see... I've officially graduated from UCSC. Now I'm just waiting for my diploma in the mail. I ended my college career with a 3.58 GPA average (could have done better, but I'm not complaining). This last quarter I got two As and a Passing (which would have been an A, but it was mandatory P/NP).

Other news, my stepmom's work needs someone to do temp stuff and it looks like I'll have a job this summer (or at least part of it) ^_^ And other than reading Death Note, that's all I'm really doing for the rest of this month (I need an L icon). Although I did FINALLY get one of the new Torchwood books that I ordered. So I have that to read too. And the rest of the Dresden Files books. I'm only in the middle of book three.

However, in July I'll be going to Canada for a week (random family vacation) and then flying to San Diego for Comic-Con! There will also be new Psych, the new Stargate movie, the new X-Files movie, new SGA, my mom's birthday, I move out of my apartment, and I'll be planning my trip to Europe with pinkpurpleponie to see the Mighty Boosh live!!!

PS It's FUCKING HOT HERE. At least I'll soon be watching last week's Doctor Who as well as some other shows. At the moment I'm trying to find the Death Note anime.

PPS This is fucking gorgeous. Atlantis, anyone? Oh, and nerdy aliens FTW ;)

I now own Hot Fuzz \m/

I went to the mall yesterday with my friend and got Hot Fuzz for me and 300 for my brother. Unfortunately, the day wasn't all happy. I went with my mom to visit my grandma. She's in the hospital for PT because she sprained her ankle. She was having a bad day and kept saying the gas was on and called her daughter her sister. It was really hard for my mom to see her like that. Thankfully, she seems to be doing better today though. She's eating more, walking to the bathroom by herself, and she sounds better.

I dyed my hair red and it looks nice with my natural dark brown color. I've never dyed my hair before, so I had my mom do it for me. She's pleased with how even she got it ^_^

The Simpsons Movie was awesome and really funny. I <3 Homer.

The other day, I got an email from one of my previous archaeology teachers saying that she needs help with one of her classes and is looking for a 'reader.' I email her back saying that if she's still looking, I'd love to do it. She emails me back:

"I AM still looking, and you are "it" - only person still in school (hence eligible for readership) to have taken the class and got an A. I will be back 9/20, and perhaps we can talk early in the week that school begins. An email to me once you are back in town will remind me."

Even if I don't get paid that much and it might only be for a quarter, I'm kind of honored to be singled out (and every little bit of money helps). Plus, it'll look good and I'll get to work with an archaeologist (even if it's just for grading papers). It feels weird actually doing something other than just going to class. I feel like I might actually become an adult some day. I still feel weird about turning 22 in two months.

What else? Drake & Josh this Friday!! I'm going to order pizza and watch Drake & Josh, Doctor Who, and Psych. I love Friday TV.

Also, two weeks until I move in to my apartment with Lexis; and that weekend I'm leaving for a road trip with my dad, sister, and step-mom in an RV. We're going down the coast of California. Should be interesting. Maybe I'll get some reading done along the way. We're out from the 12th to the 18th of August. And my brother's birthday is on the 21st. Weee!
