Highs and Lows

lauralaylin · #1 07-11-2005, 11:29 AM

Because not too much is going on in this forum, I've decided to start a new Highs and Lows thread. We need something to keep us busy until rush starts again!

Highs: I started a new blog Shirt Snob http://www.shirtsnob.com, and I'm terrified of it. But so far it seems to be going well, and I'm really enjoying writing for it.

Also, my Alpha Phi highs are that I'm getting an alum event worked out for the summer, when we don't seem to have events. We're going to invite the local collegiates too, and I really hope they come. Also, I have a really good feeling about COR at the school I advise, I think we're going to have a good rush this fall.

Lows: I'm not working right now, and I feel guilty for it even though the people that matter most in my life support this 100%, especially my husband. I just wish my friends were a bit more supportive.

I'm so glad that you started this again, Laura!

Highs: I am having a wonderful houseguest this week. This is someone who I enjoy having around and won't wear out their welcome.

Lows: This day is not going fast enough. I can't believe it is only 2 pm. It feels like it should noon tuesday. I know it is becaue I am looking forward to Harry Potter on saturday.

Highs: Only 5 more weeks of grad school left and a very good job possibility.

Lows: our server at the internship is down, so there's not much to do

Highs: I only have a half day of work tomorrow.Since I work 6am-2, that means at 10am my work day is done tomorrow.Plus my book is coming out and I am attending a book release party.

Lows: I get to come home and clean my house and run errands so I can have my weekend free to read.

Highs: Harry Potter in less than 9 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lows: I spent the night at my grandparents' house in RI where there is *NO* a/c. It was humid as hell by the beach, so I didn't sleep at all. So no midnight party for me. I'm hitting the gym and then bed by 7pm.

low:john left for ireland for a week today
low: working 80 hours this week on a project that isn't going well

High: an unexpected call from LD in the middle of the day

lauralaylin · #9 07-18-2005, 01:28 PM

Aphigal, I'm always in RI. Do you want to get together for a drink at the Mews? I'm planning on going down the weekend after this one, but since I'm not working, I really can at any time. I'd love to see you!

High: My husband's company released some big thing today, so it looks like he'll continue having a job that allows me not to work this summer.

Low: I am so upset over the ending of Harry Potter. Like really really upset. As in I now think I hate the series and want to cry.

High: Had a blast in Kelowna, BC. Very pretty place

Low: The kids didn't do too well in the baseball tournament. Mr. 1228's arthritic knee was hurting him badly. (He has had a bum knee since being ran over by a bus as a kid)

High: Justin (the step kid) got MVP for the first game (he plays 1st base)

Low: Gotta finish reading Harry Potter 4 and read 5 before I can read the new one (I bought it in Kelowna)

High: Mr. 1228's birthday is today

Low: gotta go back to work tomorrow

lauralaylin · #11 07-26-2005, 03:31 PM

High: Exec meeting for my alum chapter. I am so excited to get back into the swing of things, I hate how nothing happens during the summer. I have a ton of programming ideas, I can't wait to share them! I also have a finance meeting to get the budget done (finally) for Bentley. I can't wait for Sept!

Lows: Someone I used to work with at Barnes and Noble was in a serious car accident in ME. He'll be ok eventually they think, but I feel so bad for him.

Jill1228 · #12 07-31-2005, 07:36 AM

Low: The kid's team lost so they are not going to the provincial tournament. I had taken the time off for the tourney

High: We are going to use that time off I took to go to Las Vegas!
