i am getting paranoid. even more paranoid that usual, i mean. my mail keeps not arriving. my mother sent me my ibm rebate check two weeks ago and i still have not gotten it. n sent me something federal express on saturday and i still have not gotten it. i feel like i have somehow been annihilated from my existence in society or something bizarre like that. i'm sure it's just paranoia, but maybe it's my punishment for leaving home. my mother also sent me my taxes to sign and mail in by priority mail. i wonder if i'll ever get them or if they have disappeared into that same black hole.

my advisor emailed me again today and said that the registrar's office finally called her back and they mailed me the forms i need to register for classes by mail. on the phone they told me that i had to be there in person, that it was not possible for me to register by mail. my advisor is the epitome of awesome. she is totally great.

i am really worried though that i won't be able to get into the one class that i really really want to take, which is prof. e's poetry writing class. the same prof as i took creative writing with last semester. she is a wonderful professor and i learned so much from her, and poetry writing is something i really enjoy. but i know that class is going to fill up really quickly, and i don't know that i'll be able to get in. i'll try to force add when i get there, if i can.

i read the book push by sapphire today. the entire thing. it was the first book i've read all in one day in a really long time. i highly recommend it, but incest survivors beware. trigger trigger trigger. it was one of those books that rips you apart and puts you back together all in one book. i hope that i can write like that someday.

snacks: english muffins and cheese
noise: my kitten batting around paper balls
paper: push, sapphire (i read this whole book today. holy crow.)

terribly adorable pictures of the new baby (now with even more terribly adorable pix!)

what kind of animal were you in a past life?
