So it's been awhile

For some reason, all of my introspection this summer went into my journal. Sorry, blog! I promise that you will not be my neglected ugly step-sister for long! I will reach down into the recesses of my soul and try to regurgitate something worthwhile to self-publish for no one (and everyone) to read.

Let's catch up:

-My last semester of my undergraduate college education begins on Monday. I'm mostly excited, but a little overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to structure a life around something beyond school.

-My new favorite thing is "30 Rock"

-I recently bought some cowboy boots. I haven't worn them yet, but I have a feeling they are a good development in my life.

-I saw my high school band teacher last night. He reminded me of my potential to be a "whiz kid." And of my perfect form on the piano.

-I spent 10 weeks working for the largest retail corporation in the world. I learned that I mostly like retailing, that people steal lots of stuff, and that I can make friends with most anybody.

-I moved into a new apartment and, four years later, I am living with freshmen again. It's the circle of life.

-I finally quit one of my jobs. They are short-staffed and I was this close to being guilted into working part-time for them after they asked me three times, but I stuck to my guns. Finding a job/recruiting is going to be my second job this semester.

-As a reward to myself, I am enrolled in beginning racquetball and beginning swimming. All corporate finance and no racquetball makes Lynne, something something.

-Oh, and I recently bought a wig at a little shop in Chinatown in L.A. You know, for Halloween, and skits and stuff. Every girl needs a good wig. And purple shoes.

-Cute Boy came back from a little sojourn to back east. I'm not quite sure words can express how happy I am about this fact.

-Lastly, my valiant car finally went to car heaven. I am about to take off to test drive new cars! (By "new" I really mean "new old" cars.)
