For those of you who may already have heard, I will be taking an extended trip to Germany this spring. I'll be leaving on April 6 and returning on July 1. This means I'm spending the last 2.5 weeks in Seattle getting my stuff packed/sold/donated/moved, and saying goodbye to friends.

No blog posts. Not sure why. Guess I have Facebook Updates to substitute for these longer rants and raves, taking all of my thoughts and packaging them into little 32-character snippets that get tossed into the wild winds of the Internet. Come to think of it, that's how my thoughts appear nowadays.

Feeling pretty prolific today as far as my thoughts in my head go, so I thought I'd do a quick burst of blog entry. (Happened to be walking by the library, and am at a 15-minute internet terminal, so it'll be short-lived.) If it's any good, maybe I'll republish onto Facebook for more to see.This morning was spent walking through the park with Kylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02221946429989582713noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142635.post-13102811307614352512010-02-17T20:38:00.000-08:002010-02-17T20:52:39.558-08:00Musings on a Brighter FutureThis is ridiculous. I'm in the library with hours of access to a great, high-speed desktop computer. I ventured here for the express purpose of preparing for my interview in two days. Instead of researching and taking notes, I have been looking at all sorts of other stuff on the Internet: information about nursing programs, my pregnant cousin's pictures on her blog, Kylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02221946429989582713noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142635.post-81434436296556732762010-02-05T18:49:00.000-08:002010-02-05T19:43:40.476-08:00What happens to a dream deferred?

That's where I'm hoping to end up, anyway; the train actually ends one stop short of the airport, due to a compromise struck in the final stages of light rail development in order to meet some semblance of a deadline.

Just 4 hours of lab to go.

This is what I feel like every day.For example, take yesterday at work. I was kneeling, putting mints up on the displays next to the registers. A coworker of mine opened his register and had a customer in tow, meaning I had to get out of the way. He looks at me and says something to the effect of "Uh oh! Better move!" in a joking manner.
