Things going on in life.

I'm going to a concert today that my friend is playing in, which ought to be cool if only I can be told where it is today. Ah, well.

My Bones addiction has hit a hitch. Having finished the first season inside of a week, which is a personal best for me and an addictive series, I cannot get my hands on the second season. This means war. Or, possibly, just getting it through the interlibrary loan system at Swelles, if we have it.

The library actually impressed me with its awesomeness earlier this week. They have essentially an online suggestions box for books, ranging from stuff professors need to get for classes to stuff that you just want to read yourself. I submitted a request over the summer for George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, and then didn't hear from them for a month. But, after that, I got a personal email from a librarian, telling me how pleased she was to get a request for the recreational reading section, and to tell my friends about this system.

You heard me. Someone just offered me FREE BOOKS.

Now, I can't take them with me, but still. Free books, man.

This week was pretty relaxing overall- I had three classes canceled. Evil Wednesday, with a legitimate 6 hours of total class time, lost two classes, and became a fairly stress-free afternoon where I had no work. Nice life. Of course, I have to do a presentation for the next evil Wednesday, but that's just life being tricksy with me.

I am in seriously puppy withdrawal. Rather, I need to see a dog that loves me, and as luck would have it, one will be coming down to Wellesley to see me tomorrow. Hahahaha. Life is good.

I am becoming more and more infatuated with the idea of having a dog of my very own after graduation. I'm kind of leaning towards a grown rescued dog, possibly a pit bull, since they have a hard time getting out of shelters and are very sweet. But it will kind of depend on my living situation- I'd need a yard.

You would not necessarily need a yard, as long as you had the time and energy to be a conscientious dog-owner. We do not have a yard, and yet we have a beautiful, beautiful dog. Granted, there are four of us, and we absolutely must walk him at least twice a day, every day for at least twenty minutes each time. But if you had the energy and dedication and time to walk your dog 2-3 times daily, you could live in the city, sans yard, and have a dog.

Seriously, Emmett is the light of our lives.
