my cousin had her baby yesterday, finally. and the family breathes a sigh of relief. happy birthday alison.

i should have started that waitressing job last night, but logistics stood in the way. i suppose it's just as well. i'm not too tolerant of jerks, and i imagine that would be a problem eventually. So, i spent the larger part of today running from one end of campus to the other in search of the perfect job. it's a good thing i have some higher-ups pulling for me. there's a couple of good prospects there. hmmmm. anything else exciting? oh yes. i'm helping a friend start up a magazine. i love the idea of being a part of something i know will be really good. that's more rewarding to me than being paid right now, so i'm doing all i can for it totally free of charge. and i'm loving every damn minute of it.

i guess that's it. back to the grind i go...
