It has been a -long- day. So I put in my cover letter/resume/references for that admission's counselor position at Millikin...probably won't get it, but I hope I do. I need a good job with health insurance so I can move out on my own.

SAAC training today was scheduled for 11 hours. I left after 7. All they had left today was watching videos (which I've seen multiple times) and role-playing, and I felt confident that Nick and Anna could handle that on their own. There were only 4 people going through the training anyway.

But I'm wore out after those 7 hours. I got my grades, and I'm officially going to be able to graduate (wasn't really too worried about flunking anything), and I actually did better than I thought I would in my hated history course.

So graduation is 3 days away. I really don't want to go. Can I just stay home and sleep instead? Please? You know, I think most people are happy about college graduation, and I am on some level. No more crappy useless papers to write, no more biology notecards to memorize. But for some reason I don't feel very happy. Actually I'm feeling rather depressed for whatever reason. Which I guess maybe that's normal too, but I don't like it.

*Sighs*

Have I mentioned that I'd like to move out? I love my parents and we get along well for the most part, but I'm just feeling the need to get a place of my own. I think I need to know that I can take care of myself. And I like the idea of not having to ask permission to use the telephone, the Internet, the car, etc, etc. And I really want a dog. And if I move out in the next few months, I'm going to go adopt that dog that I fell in love with at Homeward Bound named Honey. The golden lab/pit bull mix. She's such a sweet dog and she deserves to be in a nice home, not a small cage.

And I really do NOT want to keep working as a secretary at this same job I've been at for over three years now. It's boring, and I can't stand one of my bosses. I love the other one to bits, but...I don't know, I feel like it's sucking the lifeforce out of me. It's time to move on.

Whatever. I'm done rambling now.

Maybe it's too soon to say this, but I feel like I'm finally ready to settle into this semester. Considering it's half gone, it's kind of funny. I think I just needed a week of relaxation, although the work part of Spring Break wasn't so relaxing. But oh well.

I got exactly six hours of sleep last night. And we're talking six -good- hours of sleep for a change. It was great, I woke up feeling rested. Although I did have a nightmare of some kind at 4:30 this morning about being hunted by a predator. I blame the dream on my biology of dinosaurs class. :) At any rate, I've determined that six good hours of deep sleep are better than 8 or more of restless sleep. Give me the six deep sleep hours ANY day. I felt great all day long.

I went to classes, went to the assault center to get information for the sexual assault awareness counselor's meeting this Thursday, then I came home and wrote a history paper, did a bunch of prep. stuff for all of the campus events next week, and after I got all that done, I laid down and watched one of my favorite movies of all time: Twister. It was great. I didn't feel stressed out today at all. It was weird. I thought I'd being tearing my hair out over the history paper alone. But I have lost no hair today. :D

And I'm starting to look forward to graduation. Weird. I was totally dreading it before. Now I'm just kind of excited. I really honestly think a lot of it has to do with going down to Blackburn. I think it helped me reconnect with a part of myself that I thought was lost.

All I know is that I feel pretty damned good for once.
