fishing the marshmallows out of a tub of rocky road

the kittens are tiny adults now.  they are officially eating out of a dish, using the litter box, and managing to get into just about everything we own.  on wednesday, they figured out how to leap into our bed, and have been spending the night with us ever since.  there's nothing like waking up at 3 am to a kitten charging at your face from the end of the bed.  however, you can get away with anything if you're adorable.

also, i've decided to chill out a little bit.  no more of this hopelessness.  i'm going to go back to work for the holidays, make a ton of money and then fly off somewhere (hopefully spain) for a week or two.  i'm figuring now that quite possibly the only use for my college education is the requisite post-graduation european vacation.  it's sure as hell not getting me any jobs.  yesterday, my aunt laurie hosted an afternoon tea (where i managed to eat myself sick) and at one point, i was seated next to a woman who talked at me for many minutes about how well-educated and successful her children are.  i take serious issue with people saying things like to me just after i've confessed the terrible secret that i'm no longer in school.

however, speaking of school, i'm getting everything together to apply to grad school.  i desperately want to study forensic anthropology and work in a museum and be surrounded by fascinating things for my whole life, so here's hoping everything works out.
