Friday night and sleepy

Dear Kirkwood,

Hi. I don't have to come back for three days. So... take that.

Love,

Camille

Howdy all, how's life treating you? Well I hope. Things have been weird for me here, but I think I'm going to get through it. Lets list some highlights.

1.) I've gotten my school routine down better, I think I should be fairly well adjusted by the end of next week. I'm enjoying a couple of my classes a lot (Cultural Anthropology and Microbes and Society) and the others have been kind to me so far. It's only the first week though. Oh and yeah, my classmates are duds for the most part. Shocker. (Sorry! Staying positive!)

2.) Some happy news about Kirkwood though. Lynn (My Kirkwood director) came up to me while I was studying this morning and told me that she was in a meeting with some other directors who were discussing the bookstore on main campus (How it's been doing, what it needs, etc.) and that one of the things they thought was missing was some jewelry for the school. To show school spirit and what not, mainly for the faculty. Lynn said that she told them about me and the jewelry I design and they asked if I could make up some sample pieces and give them prices! If this works out it would be so so so sweet, I would have a fun time, it would be for my school, and I wouldn't have to teach bead classes. So yeah, I'm really hoping this works out.

3.) I bought some fabulous new headphones tonight, and I'm using them right now. They are as I said they were, fabulous. Mmmm.

4.) I don't know if I mentioned it or not but the summer session of our tennis lessons ended, so we've been doing private lessons with Scott this week. The girls are going to do clinic as well as a private lesson once September starts, but I'm just going to do two private lessons a week. No clinic for me, I'm toooooo old! We're having a great time in the private lessons though. Last night we were focusing on dissecting and perfecting our forehands, and holy cow did that throw me for a loop. We went to the club tonight just to play, but I could barely even hit. This new swing is freaking me out.

5.) I really need to go to sleep. But its Friday night so that means I can sleep in tomorrow, which sounds wonderful right now.

6.) Our internet isn't working right now, which means I won't be able to post this until tomorrow anyways.

7.) My kitten Rafael is doing quite well. I think he is going to be a marvelous cat.

8.) Oh and I almost forgot, I cut my hair! I'm actually really depressed about it, but I'm trying to stay in the denial mode and pretend that I like it. Ha ha sounds good right? Right. No seriously though, its not that bad. The longest layer is just above my shoulders, but my hair hasn't been this short for six years so its thoroughly freaking me out. Heres the deal, I went in for a trim because it was getting nasty, and Diane and I decided that the pool (I went so often!) had fried my hair this summer so we were going to hack off four inches. So we did. And I think its amazingly ironic that I lost my mermaid locks because of swimming. I suppose a true mermaid would chose swimming over hair anyways though. It looks a lot healthier now though, I have to admit. Yadda yadda, hair drama.

9.) More later I suppose.
