insomaniac

this just doesn’t happen to me. i’m the girl who can fall asleep in record time on public transportation, on the beach, in the common room with an hour between classes, or in the staff lounge at camp while people play ps2 wrestling, fight over the computer and spin gossip all around me. i’m the girl who gets out of bed with ten minutes before class and gets tangled up and stuck in her pajamas b/c she’s so rushed. i am not the girl who wakes up before 6:30 and channel surfs through the morning news for pre-work entertainment. but i really just can’t sleep.

jen and i finally had a knitting lesson last night! we met at starbucks in town and got through three lessons: 1) the slipknot 2) casting on and 3) not knitting too tightly. lauren watched and peanut galleried. after starbucks kicked us out, lauren and i went back to her house so i could watch and peanut gallery while she packed for udel. that turned into “let’s talk a lot until 12:30 am and not get anything accomplished.” but she did show me her dress-up suitcase and it was fun.

em drove back to bucknell on monday morning, so we held a final redezvous, the starbucks finale, complete with an impromptu fireworks display. the night before that, it was jess’ house for wrap-up analysis and a flip through the j.crew catologue before she went back to colby.

so after lek leaves tomorrow, i will be the sole survivor of summer 2004. on my own again, i’m planning on a beach day with rach and a few work days back with the cass boys. charlene called me last night to say that the babysitter they’d lined up for the fall backed out already and she needs some last minute help for the first week of school. coincidentally, i need some last minute cash. and i’m curious to see how larry and brian handle the coupe’s backseat.
