At work today:

My supervisor Steven: "You look super-skinny. Did you lose tons of weight?"
Me: "No. I think these pants are just flattering."
Steven: (insert several mocking comments here)

Leave it to me to take a compliment. For the record, though, I did thank him on the way out. Just a little too late.

Today is gorgeous outside, a beautiful day with the kind of weather that Jeff would despise. It's 85 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celcius?), blue sky, no clouds (not that I believe in clouds anyway) ... and I'm stuck in this office. No windows. Lights off to keep things cool. Sucky!

With the weather comes optimistic thoughts. Thoughts about what I'm going to do this summer - go hiking, watch movies with my brother and sister, swim in Ken Lake, go to concerts, spend occasional weekends in Seattle, go to Lakefair, work out at the Valley 5 days a week, work at my dad's office. My mind is anywhere but here right now. It doesn't care to dwell on what I have to do before school is out - a 10 page paper on a molecule of choice, a 2-page final German paper, two chem-related finals and a bio final. Oh, and a few lab reports, not to mention continuation of learning throughout the next few weeks. It's not that I'm not enjoying the here and now. Believe me, I am - maybe a little too much. Saw "City of Angels" for the first time on Tuesday night (great movie), and then went to see our Ninja and Pirates movie entry win in the Haggett Film Festival. (That's Jeff Six's 2nd victory in as many years! He won a director's chair.)

Thus, there is much to write about, and little time to do it in. The summer will provide me with many opportunities to reflect upon this school year. Until then, time to make the most of it.

And as a side note: I bought a student pack of SIFF tickets. Now I get to go see 5 films: The Edukators, Five Times Two, Night of the Living Dorks, Nine Songs, and one other I can't remember. Can't wait!
