School

I got 3 little mealworms for my entomology class today. I'm pretty sure one of them is already dead. Does that mean I'm a bad mealworm mommy? Or that I'm just doomed to pick out poor pets for the rest of my life?

Regardless, my classes are interesting and I like my professors. I'm surprised at how much I'm really enjoying flute choir. I'm pleasantly surprised that after 5 years of playing piccolo, not flute, I'm still keeping up with the other students in the ensemble.

Working 18 hours a week on top of school just brings everything up to their normal, hectic speed. The job hunt also adds another set of tasks to complete before December 21st.

Until then I'm trying to get up to IN as much as possible to see the boy. He's come to visit me twice already and I feel super lucky that he drove such a long way to spend his long weekend with me! I'll be up to visit him a couple of weeks from now and I'm looking forward to seeing Contagion and a (hopeful) trip to the Children's museum. I know that may seem like a silly outing for an adult couple, but according to at least 5 different people it's the best museum in the city. Hey, I have to try out my museum cooperative card in different cities don't I? I'm sure they won't care that I worked at Harvard's tree museum but I really just want to whip out the card at some point!

I was happy to feel the first bit of fall today and I'm just going to hold on tight and hope that December comes and goes without incident.
