I've written something like 6 blog posts in my head this month, but never set down to actually commit them to the site.
There was the time I almost ran over a 5 motorcyclists because they were doing 100+ miles in extremely dense traffic and weaving between cars where there was only enough space to fit their bikes and their elbows.
There was the time I failed to see Noam Chomsky in person and was angry for the rest of the night.
And there's a ton of stuff I've already forgotten about this month.
And now I've cut my hair. I donated a little over two feet and got a free haircut out of the deal. It's pretty short now, and I have bangs, which is something new. I like it. It's a little less fuzzy and a little longer than I had expected, but I may put something in it and tussle it up.
Only one month until this year is over. And then Grand Teton. I'm starting to get nervous about that, but I'm preparing as best I can.

April!
The frequency of blog posts here is a pretty good indication of my mental state. When I'm tired/bored/overwhelmed and so on the updates drop like a rock. March was quiet because I was trying to get started on the right foot for the new semester and not quite managing it, what with my itchy fingers and a workload that I still struggling to keep in check. I thiiink things will be better this semester but I'm not quite sure.
The classes I have this semester feel like the first jump from LIS 101 to more in depth topics. This is great. It also means a more difficult workload and readings. And, none of them are really focused on the sort of skills I will be needing for my internship, which means I need to do a lot of independent work over the next two months to do as effective a job as possible up in WY.
The skin thing is pretty much resolved, and my rat is now officially adopted and I'm not allergic to her, so that's two problems gone. I've also finally gotten confirmed for my insurance, so here's hoping that that all goes smoothly too.
I saw Sucker Punch yesterday with some LIS buds, and it turned out to be a mash up of Inception and 300 that didn't quite work as either. The shame was that the first scene was -great-, and then the rest of the movie completely failed to live up to the quality the intro promised. Oh well.
I'm moving the "Awesome Archival" stuff that I used to post here to a dedicated tumblr, here. For short, drive by content tumblr is a better platform, but anything substantial will still be posted to this blog.
