ugh.

sorry, that was the first word that popped into my head when i asked myself "what's going on in my life?" (referring to title)

umm... so yeah. i already told lily, but i dropped one of my courses yesterday. i'm now taking 3. i'm doing two volunteer things on monday and i'm still doing co-op stuff (writing cover letters -- they seriously make me want to die -- and going to workshops, prepping for interviews... it's actually really stressful) but that's about it. my courses are a whole lot more in depth/crazier than they used to be... which i'm not complaining about, but just somewhat overwhelmed by. i know i'll find a way to keep up.

anyhows, i'm somewhat sad i haven't seen you guys in a while (not lily though! or joanne! i saw them both today!). i feel like we just need to get together. even if it's one-on-one, i would still really like that.

what else? well i guess i've been meaning to say something about this for a long while, and just never got around to it (just so you guys know, i check the blog religiously, but don't post too much is all)... well dan and i are (wait, let me ask and check...)

yeah, we're quite good. in case anyone was interested in an update. there was a lot of stuff we never really went through before; we just kind of ignored it and then it ended up blowing up in our faces, i suppose. so because of all that, it's good that we've gotten a chance to really take the time to sort through it all. and i think we're even better than ever, actually. i notice things like dan looks through apartment listings in his spare time. and a couple days ago he was looking at rings.

AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!!! it's nothing crazy, really. we just like to be prepared. i think..? we've definitely already talked about marriage/living together/etc before, but we both know it's nothing soon. it's just not practical. but what i meant by telling you guys about apartment/ring stuff is just that he's never really been so keen on it. it was usually me looking up apartment stuff! you know, every 6 months or something i would start imagining what it would be like to move out with dan and then i'd check out the market (gotta stay informed!) and such. but i know it's a sign of goodness that he's interested/actively checking housing stuff out.

so yeah... kind of stressed. co-op is very stressful. well, i don't think it's supposed to be -- i just take it that way. arg.

so yeah this is really long. call me when you're lonely!

lots of love!!!
