Between classes

judecorpI'm sitting next to Christa who is printing out scads and scads of reserve articles. Trees are screaming. The people desperately printing out papers must be having heart attacks. She is a one woman printing machine (the little social work computer lab has one printer, you see). But she's a friendly warm body next to me, and well, that's always appreciated.
I did half of my paper last night before I burned out and stopped making sense. Of course, when I came into class today and saw how other people did theirs, I really liked the formatting - so I will probably spend some time changing mine around a bit. Yeah. Either way, everyone is confused about the assignment, and most people are "elaborating." Good. Shouldn't take more than an hour and a half tonight to do the summary and analysis parts. No problemo.
Hope, Megan and I went to Johnny Rocket's for dinner. I'd never been there and let me tell you, I love kitsch. So I was in heaven. Well, that was probably because of the root beer float. Mmmm. Our little server person was so adorable and totally looked like he was from the 1950s, except that he needed Buddy Holly type glasses. Which reminds me, I need to make an eye appointment before I lose my insurance - Hope is going to help me pick out new glasses, and I want some contacts too, in case I want to get back into sports. (But not during school - I'm having enough of a hard time juggling work and internship and classes and volunteering. Ugh.)
Boy am I tired. And I will never make it through Individuals class. It tends to get boring, especially when we watch the therapy training videos. Blah! And after Individuals is work. The fun never ends. Then race home to write the paper. Lucky, lucky me.
I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now. My life is full of stressors in all different directions - school, internship (where I now have so many clients I'm going nuts), impending divorce planning (why can't /he/ do any of this? he's the "I just want to be friends" person here), job, and I'm starting to feel a little poopy about the fact that I haven't volunteered at Kaleidoscope in a long while. Phooey. I also have a very dear friend whom I love dearly who's really going through some tough times, and another who's making some big life changes, and they keep my head and heart busy. I really don't have time for any additional stressors or drama. ARE YOU LISTENING UP THERE??!?
I got an invitation to a friend's wedding and I would REALLY like to attend. I miss her so much (I knew her when I lived in Bangor, Maine)! But it is on the evening of 22 December in Windsor, Ontario, and there's no way I could go there with enough time to head to my hometown for the holidays. If it had been just ONE WEEKEND EARLIER - though it's probably better for her family to have it near the holidays, so it will be a big Christmas party. I'm bummed, though. I really want to go. And I got an invitation to rainy's engagement party on 2 December in Boston, and I won't be able to make that either. I'll have to send Baga. The upside: It was /wonderful/ to receive 2 big deal pieces of mail in my former name, AND to have them say 'Jude and guest.' Mmmm. SingleJude. Very nice.
Except at bedtime. I miss the Shirt Fairy.
