i'm gonna keep on laughing / the best is yet to come
i work too much. not really, but as i just sent a bunch of work related e-mails it makes me feel like it. it makes me happy. today was one of those days that flew by and i had to make myself leave to go work out. (fabulous workout btw). it was a fairly frustrating day. (but not in a personal way - which i handle a lot better. i can handle machines not working and networks being down and needing to fix all of it, but it is not personal in anyway. personal frustrations like worrying about people being immature with information shared or not making it in this grad school world are much worse.) So it was uber-nice to work that all out in the gym. Besides all the e-mail i had to send (and get caught up on, i checked the e-mail briefly once today), i am pretty relaxed right now.
we had amazing thunderstorms yesterday. the great warm rain forest rain that i love to stand in. and stand in it i did. for a moment at least. there was a rainstorm much like it one time at tech. warm, hard, beautiful - it called me out into it. i left my shoes and umbrella in my room and ran around the ulc/sixth street courtyard splashing in the puddles. Then i sat in the grass and let the rain wash all of my frustrations of the day away. a friend came upon me, surprised to find me sitting in the rain. we laughed together (as it was what we were best at) and enjoyed the moment after i convienced her that nothing was wrong.
i stood in the rain yesterday for a moment. (i ran out to make sure i had closed my car windows. of course i had.) but i did open all my windows in my apartment and let the scent of rain fill it. i laid around in bliss.
i, as usual, have angst with this page. i want to fill it with something witty and/or thought provoking. but alas, i am too tired to do it and i have one more beautiful e-mail left to write tonight. i want to link you to something v. amusing to me, but you have to have access to sciece mag, therefore i shall put it up elsewhere and then link to it.
