<178> Go with the flow: This is one of the days when everything seems like it is falling into place and it's all fine, even though nothing really has happened today to make me feel this way... not really. This day blew by too, passing much too quickly without letting me fit in all the work I wanted to do, but I guess that's ok. Everything and everyone keeps telling me to just "go with the flow" and that everything will work out in its time. This morning I decided I really needed to follow said advice and really it's already begun to pay off I think. Sometimes you just get caught up with life and all the things you don't know. I guess today I did settle for just the question, or at least, decided that the question would be answered in its own time and I might as well stop pushing it anymore than I already had. I suppose that was the right choice... but I'll let you know when I'm certain. So what did I do today? Just worked on what I had to really. Last night was the first Saturday I haven't spent out in a good month, and while I won't say I enjoyed it more because that would be lying, I guess it was good for me. It was also good for me to get started on work today (being that I tend to deem Sundays my work days) before 2pm. Our house has taken on a "chore schedule" of sorts... so we all have something to take care of depending on the day of the week. I don't know how long this will hold up, honestly I think it's already been broken, but not by me. Anyway, today was my day to clean the bathroom (and I think also to clean up the main room of the house which I plan to take on a little later tonight... lucky me its more of a mess than usual thanks to a party we had on Friday night, but I'll get back to that in a minute). I got the bathroom cleaning out of the way after a nice enough morning. Then I went off to the hot shop around 4pm to wash glass. You see, when you are involved in glassblowing, you have to take two 3 day turns of washing the glass which they dump into the furriness at night in order to make the melted glass for use for the next day or two. I ended up staying there until 7pm. I got a lot done though, so hopefully tomorrow I really won't have to do much at all. As for other things I should have completed tonight (or still need to) I should be working on my portfolio. Most of it's been on here for awhile now... but I should update it all. I just don't feel much like doing it tonight... but I suppose I will get it up. I'll add some more to it for next week, when the head of our department is supposed to take a look at it. Ahh, I wish it was a little better, but I guess I have a fair amount of stuff to show for myself. So tomorrow starts another week, and another week to get through... another week that brings us closer to something so much bigger than the weekend. It brings us closer to the end of the year, to the summer, to our SENIOR year, to the rest of OUR LIVES!!! Woo, got a little scary there for a minute, didn't it? This week I don't have a terrible amount of work, but I do have some and actually the more I think about it the list is fairly long. Better get to it all soon in that case...

I've been distracted all night since I've gotten back. I had dinner after the washing of the glass session, I needed it I was pretty tired, cold, and soaked because there is a running hose the whole time to wash with... at least it was warmish out (dropping from 60 or so degrees when it started getting dark and hey the water was warm). So my to-do list is not all crossed out yet and it's getting later and later (as I was even distracted while writing this post) but people kept IMing me all day with cool / funny links to check out. So I have most recently been distracted by this game (I got to level 7 before I made myself stop so I could at least attempt to get some actual work done). Anyway, even if I hadn't been distracted by links tonight... I would have still been distracted by people, everyone and their mother is always online on Sunday nights it seems. Sure we all claim to be getting work done, but really we're just talking to each other. I just wish there was a certain person online right now that I've been missing talking to for awhile now. Where are you, I can't believe you've gone this long without being online. Wake up!! And with that, I will say goodnight, you all know who you are. Now I can get back to air hockey... err, I mean, my portfolio... of course! ;)
