yesterday i went to the doctor. i needed them to sign my health form from work. one of those, "hmm...you're alive. let me sign your paper," moments. in and out, 20 minutes.
wrong.
two and a half hours surrounded by extreme white trash and annoying children.
and they gave me a shot. tetanus. granted, i haven't had one since pre-school, and it would be pretty important were i to get in a car wreck, or stabbed by a rusty nail, or captured by that creepy dude from the saw movies. but still, i didn't want a shot.
and now i can't life my arm higher than my shoulder.
(on a side note, my half the students in my advanced class didn't know what "innoculation" means. they are seventeen years old. sheesh.)

post-turkey day
weekend was fun, albeit hectic. saw the family, ate a lot. the wedding was typical of my family, complete with panic attacks, lost stuff, failure to launch, and a rendition of the Camp Anawana theme song.
will elaborate more later when i'm not at school.

side comment
so on the radio this morning, they were talking about how the gay community had threatened to boycott wal-mart because they were not active enough in their cause, so wal-mart ended up spending many thousands of dollars joining one of the activist groups. now i am not in any way passing any sort of judgement, or making any kind of statement, regarding the morality of whether or not wal-mart should have joined this group. frankly, i don't care. what i am doing is questioning the common sense of their decision. because here's the thing:
none of the gays i know will shop at wal-mart in the first place. they think it's tacky.
just a thought.

life is beautiful
today: teacher workday = much happiness --> there are no kids so i can sort, organize, stack, and file to my little obsessive-compulsive heart's content
tomorrow: turkey day!!
friday & saturday: wedding madness
sunday: relaxing alllll day
life doesn't get much better than that.
(unless, of course, i was driving the batmobile and living in a corona commercial, but that's beside the point.)
so they finally gave me my computer back. i have decided that i like the socially-retarded high school computer geeks better than the bitter and cynical engineering major college computer geeks, because the high school version gave me my computer back without wiping my hard drive. what a concept.
and now for the exciting news!!! i officially have my first job in the post-college theatre world. i am designing and making the costumes for the local community theatre's performance of the nutcracker and i am ecstatic. last night as i was sketching mice in uniform, it hit me how much i've missed theatre. i mean, of course i miss my friends like crazy, but i hadn't realized how much i miss the actual theatre work itself. the only problem is that i only have two weeks to put the show together. hooray for well-stocked costume shops and community theatre where you can make people go buy their own stuff.
ok, i'm going to go grade some papers or sort some files or something. or maybe i'll just wander around and talk to the other teachers wandering around cause they don't want to do work either.

a note of explanation
i thought maybe i should explain the cousins.
i have cousins who are quadruplets. four babies, one time. two boys, two girls. three at n.c. state, one at unc. visiting raleigh involves seeing many cousins.

happy feet
cutest. movie. ever.
no lie.
i want a baby penguin who tap dances.
i'm currently at unc, sitting in my cousin's girlfriend's apartment. for the first time in awhile, i feel very, very old. this is a weird feeling. i went out to the movie with another cousin and various assorted friends of hers, all of whom are juniors in college. the whole theater was filled with college students from unc and duke.
they looked really young.
and i felt old. strange. i think i've finally adjusted to this whole "adulthood" thing. it feels strange to be on a college campus with college age people. nobody mentioned car payments, or rent, or new furniture, or insurance bills, or job problems. they didn't have a care in the world. i don't know how i feel about this. it really hit me that a huge chapter of my life is officially over, and i will never be able to go back to that. even if i go to grad school, it won't ever be the same. adulthood is such a tricky thing. i miss college, but at the same time would never want to go back.
