I can't believe there has been five solid days of sunshine. I've seen rain daily for about 2.5 months and have wondered if I moved to Seattle or the UK. I won't lie, this is the reason I've been lazy with my 365. I've been wanting to get outdoors and take pictures there... haven't had much of a chance with the rain; however, I did put together a rain sequence last week.
I'm officially an assistant. I really enjoy the privy-ness to the job and being able to take the responsibility. I'm sure I'll have my complaints at some point down the line, but it's going rather well right now.
I've been consumed with reading the Shopaholic series, figured to get something frilly out of the way before I dive into intense reading that will take up July and August. I'm on a tight budget; therefore, my entertainment consists of intense classes I'll be taking and their reading material.
Today is a big day:
It's day 1056 for Gilad Shalit.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
I've been so busy the past two (or three?) weeks that I haven't updated, but here I am!
Since my last update:
- I also lacked updating 365
- had a lot of cleaning/chores to attend to with my apartment
- helped a bunch of kids graduate
- spent extra time during the week with my great-grandmother
- got a new job
- met-up with a friend who is now living in the South
I've been taking a photo each day, I just haven't been able to get to a computer and post it. Some days, by the time I make it home, I'll look at a computer and turn the other way. This also explains my overflowing in-box.
I've been re-arranging so much with my room and in my basement. I discovered that I had things I could have sworn I threw away five years ago!
It's Graduation Time! So many university graduates are partying away and some are struggling to tie up loose ends to get their recognition. I'm not sure exactly how I do it, but I manage to work well with the cry-ers and get their affairs in order. This will soon be ending, because as of June 22nd I will be an assistant to a great man! It was very sudden how this fell into place, but I'm very grateful for the opportunity because it's a step up from what I'm doing now and it'll allow me to grow professionally in many ways. It'll be similar to The Devil Wears Prada... except he already loves me and is excited about me being his assistant (I've worked for him before). It's a much healthier job, all-round.
My great-grandmother has been doing well, except for the part that she really is just tired of living and wants to die. I understand how morbid this sounds, but you can't help but feel bad sometimes when you hear, "I'm 96 years old. I can't do much, I'm tired, sometimes life hurts... I just want to go home." But, she's not ready to pass yet. She's started a few projects for herself (with our assistance) that she needs to complete before letting go. I don't believe that she'll actually allow herself to pass until this is completed. I love spending time with her, because she's an absolute riot! Her sense of humor is still, highly, intact and she's very aware of everything around her.
I recently met up with a college friend who has since moved to the South. Our brunch date ended up being five hours of reminiscing, catching up, and future plans. We both were able to celebrate new jobs and babble in French, which made us look like we were crazy. It was great to see her and it's good that we understand what it's like to be good friends, even though we don't get to talk as often as we wish.
With that conversation, we were able to talk about our interesting transitions into Adulthood post-university. It was rather interesting because we have two very different lifestyles that we live and we were able to poke fun at one another with it. It was nice to just wind down for a long morning/afternoon and act like we didn't have those adult responsibilities.
