An historic day

I went to the Post Office Friday morning and applied for a passport for the first time. *Eeep!* For some reason, this just makes the whole trip to England seem that much more real. (I'm still in the I-can't-believe-I'm-actually-going-this-must-be-a-dream state.)

Then I went over to the used bookstore across the street and almost died because they have so many books. Want, want, want. Unfortunately, they didn't have the one I really wanted to buy: The King of Attolia. Blast. But I did get I Capture the Castle in a lovely looks like new paperback edition for six dollars. YAY!

Also, I am re-reading Persuasion.

Let's see....I'm trying to think of any other happenings. Oh, job! I'm working at the local university now, cleaning dorms. This job is nice because it's so much less stressful than the job I had before. Granted, there's the "Oh no, we need to clean the whole dorm TODAY" kind of stress, but it's not like I'm feeling sick to my stomach whenever I think about work, which was happening before.

I'm also reading a ridiculous amount of books. Oh well, it's me. It happens.

My sister has left us and will be back on Tuesday (I think). She's in Santa Rosa, CA, attending the Young Woman's Conference. *tear* It's weird having the room to myself.

Huzzah!

I drop in to say I have a job! I'll be calling local businesses for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It lasts for eight weeks, although I'll be taking a week off to go to the My Life in Christ Youth Conference. So anyway, that is great news and very relieving.

Let me say in passing that I love Megan Whalen Turner's books. Seriously.

And I shall return with book reviews very soon.
