last day!

today is officially my last day as a test-taking, grade-hounding undergraduate. i've got a final in about two hours and then i'm done, free to explore all the wonders that a part-time job in retail can afford me. i did, however, get an internship at a literary agency, which is insanely fabulous and should allow me to read and edit and surround myself with (soon-to-be-published) books. it's more or less a dream come true.

once my final is over, i'm going to go apartment hunting, sans l., who will be decorating and eating cookies with some kids at his school. it's important that we move soon, because as much as i really truly love our apartment, ktown is just about the worst place for us to be right now. not only have we been owned by crime four times in the last two months, we also spend the vast majority of our lives on the westside and with gas prices being so out of control, it's beginning to make less sense to traverse the whole of the city twice each and every day. we put the apartment search on hold a few weeks ago, as finals and the end of the academic year began spiraling my life into craziness. however, now that i am (very, very close to being) totally free of school, i feel i can start looking again. i found a really cute one on craigslist, and as far as i can tell, it looks really good for us. here's hoping the pictures weren't total lies.

also, yesterday l. and i went to santa monica to find a michael's craft store, and while we were there, i spied a r.e.i. mega store, in which i purchased a north face fleece pullover (yipee!). i've wanted one for just about forever, as they are cozy and warm and actually fitted to a woman's body, so i can be cozy and warm and not look like a massive polar bear escaped from the zoo. and, in celebration, i am wearing it right now, despite the fact that the weather forecast for today reached into the 80s. i figure i'll be spending a lot of time inside, so maybe it won't be too tragic.
