keep me underneath the mistletoe

lately things have been going my way! i think.

this morning at 10:30am i had an interview for an internship at my dream architectural firm. by 11:00am, i had the job! then, i proceeded to spend the rest of the day gushing about it. now comes the worrying stage and re-vamping (more like creation) of my business casual wardrobe, but i'm still excited! this firm is the kind of place that i've envisioned myself working at for a while now. the building is located in an old brick factory (previously used as a photography gallery) with an open space plan, rustic wooden beams, and minimalistic red doors and white partition walls. the firm is woman-owned, consisting of only six staff, half of which i assumed were gay- just all around very attractive, good humored, intelligent people. so YES! EXCITING! i celebrated tonight by doing a half-assed job on my statistics homework. again, YES! EXCITING!

due to my own little terrifying universe of class and work and clubs, i am sad to report that i have completely lost track of any sort of current events, new music/books/movies, and lots of friends. it's just sad, so sad, that the only new music i know is from television commercials (jcpenney, the cube-y ipod, old navy, etc.). i miss you, oh precious precious free time. actually! my roommate's boyfriend's band (sara, matt, saint radar) has a new CD out, which is pretty much what i've been listening to for the past week. yay go buy! or befriend him like scott and get it for free.

as much as i'm fitting into this current life of organized schedules and pats on the back, i am holding on like hell to each moment of spontaneity and my refusal to join the blackberry brigade (please no). i am so confused (and at the same time, excited) about choosing a good way of life in regards to the upcoming years. the future is scary for many reasons having to do with change, but what scares me the most about "growing up" is the end of growth- you stop growing physically and almost mentally, like not adding any more words into your vocabulary (i know vocabulary isn't my strong suit, but today some kid said the verb "gander" to me, wha?! do people really say that in everyday sentences?). i really really hope to keep growing after graduation and well passed my 100th birthday with hobbies and travel and everything... into an enormously tall and well-spoken person. OK- it's time for bed.

GOOD NIGHT!
