Aches: both head and body

So I suck at this blogging thing. I'll do better, I promise.
Tonight is the eve of my official-official debut as the Hall Coordinator in my building and my brain is fried with things that need to be done and searching for things that I forgot (while I was typing this I just remembered something else I need to do before I go bed, oy). The early arrival students move in tomorrow and I have two new staff members in my nest, one that we hired tonight... talk about pressure. If tomorrow goes well, I believe that I will have a less stressful week but that's me saying that at 1:30am while sitting in the hall office blaring my music and shivering from the open window. I need to sleep. But there is just too much in my brain to do that. Collapsing into a coma every night is becoming more natural for me unfortuneatly. Wish me luck tomorrow as I debut in front of parents and have students under my care again. Times like this, I wonder why I signed up for a job like this. You have to be crazy to enter this willingly. I'm sure I'll change my mind later. Until then...

Off to Ioway...


Chris has been moved in and acclimated. It's bittersweet because he has a shiny new job and our future apartment but he's hours away, in IOWA. His apartment is nice and big, I won't mind living there eventually. I miss him already.
