I watched all three seasons of Veronica Mars in two weeks. It was intense.
I rewatched Battlestar Galactica. It was frakin' awesome all over again.
I read most of The Iliad. That is one long-ass book. I suppose there is still time to finish it before my birthday...
I went to Mount Rainier with lovely ladies Maggie and Lillian. It was fun except for the whole nature part.
While I was unemployed last summer, I watched a lot of movies. Thanks Netflix (by the way, I may be breaking up with you next month).
When summer ended, I moved to the Lake City neighborhood with Heidi who was the Best Roommate Ever! Love you!
But before that I went to IKEA for the very first time to furnish my new apartment.My Poetry Study Group celebrated another anniversary. I'm going to miss you guys so much and reading awesome poetry every month.
For Halloween I carved a cat jack-o-lantern. It ended up looking like Hello Kitty. My costume was a fairy/butterfly/glitter queen.
I had Nancy Pearl for my adult genres class. It was delightful, and I fell (more) love with comics/graphic novels.I have hosted Thanksgiving before with other roommates, but this time I made the turkey--my first. I got a little carried away making a feast since there were only four people at the table.
Many of the recipes were from the Pioneer Woman--an obsession that helped heal the lack-of-Food-Network wound in my heart.
I finished fall quarter, the hardest quarter/semester of my academic life. (Until winter quarter came, that is.)
I celebrated Christmas in Utah, where I caught a cold, and rang in the new year in a kitchen sink.
I survived my cataloging class and made a digital portfolio.Heidi graduated early, moved back to MN, and got a job. I was sad, and the kitchen was never clean again.
I had Nancy Pearl again. Yay!
I dropped my first class ever. I got a "W."
I made sushi for the first time. Mostly, I watched other people make it, but it was delicious. and none of us died.
I started a Pilates regiment.
. . .
And two weeks later, I stopped.
I partook in Royal Wedding Madness. and played King's Cup for the first (and probably last) time.
I learned more about Charles Dickens, serial publication, and David Copperfield than is reasonable for one person.Heidi came back for the iBall. It was so much fun.
Kristen came to visit me. I went to Canada for the first time, and we got lost.
I graduated with my Master's degree. Hallefrickinlujah!
Recently graduated, unemployed, and nearly 25, I moved back in with my parents.Then I went to Lake Powell for the final, final, final time with my extended family. It was fun, though I banged my knee up pretty bad.
And in one week, I will start a whole new year. My goals are to get a job, move out, and get a (new) life.
