Turns out the drama queen syndrome is contagious and the curveball was a false alarm. I do, however, appreciate the concern from you all. (Ha ha, get it? You all is Aurora and Alexis! No one else reads this shit!)

I haven't had a particularly busy week, but I have been very much away from computers. I finished off my time living in the Cities last week and I'm scared to say I actually enjoyed it. It was probably just my company; I could never make it down there alone. Raneej and I drove back home on Friday night, got here at about 11:30, then at 5:30 the next morning the two of us and Pops set out on a journey to - where else - Michigan! We drove to Sault Sainte Marie and spent the evening there, ogling the Soo Locks, then we drove back home yesterday. A whole lot of driving, but at least I got some reading done. Yes, Harry is my new best friend. In addition, I learned there are miles of sandy beaches on Lake Superior! And you only have to drive to Michigan to find them!

I'm back home now and the lack of companionship is eerie. I've become accustomed to having someone around all the time. At school there was always someone to talk to, then I had Angie, then Darren, then Angie, but now I'm all alone. At least I've got the dog. Perhaps I could learn to appreciate alone time.

I'm headed back to work on Wednesday. Man oh man, I wonder if I'll remember what to do. It's always nice to go back after a while but the novelty wears off once the tourist traffic and malt demand (turns out they go hand-in-hand) increase.

On another note, I feel kind of bad that I really didn't get grades I deserved this semester. I'm happy with what I got, but I know I didn't earn them. Could it be that for the past three years I could have been putting forward much less effort and receiving the same grades? Ah, that would be my luck - to have that dawn on me now. Perhaps things will be different next semester, but probably not.
