i got a lot done today. i am going to be ready for next week. yay.

i had a realization recently:
it was ahhhhhhhhhh jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze...
i'm getting old.  i'm truly beginning to feel my age and the reality of my physical limitations.

in other worlds, my friend came up with me today to run campus errands. lately some of my closest friends have been experiencing severe losses in matters of the heart. i can't help but feel really sad for them, although i know they are strong and will be alright. we did a mock passing today for a relationship that did not work out...it sounds morbid, but it was actually really cathartic i believe for my friend. we picked a nice magnolia tree in a well traversed park and i even drew up a mock tombstone with dates (a cd cover with paper in it).  a lot of nice things were said and it was kept positive. it would probably be the most oddest thing i've ever done subsurfacely, but it was just symbolic. i know it will help my friend. the weird thing was, i really felt sad for all their loss...i had high hopes for them. but we had a great lebanese dinner after followed by dessert @ la madeleine.

speaking of loss..er change. i think it will be good for the jimenez's to make the move to cali. its pretty sad for everyone but (michelle and marianne - yes, i know you two are bouncing off the wall i think it will work out for the best (at least for jimenez's). i think what i've learned about moving is, the hardest part is leaving and the anticipation of. but once you are there, (wherever there may be) it is amazing how the human spirit will adapt to its new surroundings, and the bay area is not too shabby! i'd even do it. you just have to let the winds of change take you wherever...because change can be good. *coming to visit!*

i am pretty tired. staying up late is not what i can do anymore.
i just realized, a year ago this time we were skiing in tahoe. it seems like aeons ago...
