Fun Times

My old housemate came up to visit this weekend. It was a good time. We went out, did a pub crawl. then had a get-together at the house. We went out and saw 21, good movie. Better than what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be similar to most college-funny movies, little plot, lots of drinking, and lack of production values. But actually it was much better. I was pleasantly surprised.
But now that she's gone and it's Sunday I need to do some good ole' homework. I finally got a hold of someone who worked on the restoration case study project I've been trying to do for awhile now. I think I've called at least 10 people asking if anyone knows anything about the marsh, and nobody seemed to. On a whim I called this out-of-the-way restoration organization thinking that I wasn't going to get any information but it was worth a shot. Turns out THE GUY who knows everything about the project happened to be there, so I talked to him for 15 minutes and he answered every single one of my questions and gave me some great insight about the project. So my presentation and paper due Wednesday looks like it'll be fine.
Peace Corps has been on my mind lately. Lots of questions keep popping up. Like will I want a laptop? and am I really going to be able to speak fluent French? I was packing up my room, trying to make a run home so that when I do have to move out it's not going to be so bad. I found a color personality test that I took last semester in my 2D class. I read it and laughed almost every sentence was some how related to my decision to join the Peace Corps. Here's some "Wants interesting and exciting things to happen"... "Feels listless, hemmed in and anxious"..."Wants freedom to follow his/her own convictions and principles, to achieve respect as an individual in his own right"... "Desire to control one's own destiny". Sort of reaffirmed my decisions and helped me realize that these anxieties that I'm having now will probably dissipate once I'm in country.
