Feels like Old Times

rubahMan, apparently I hadn't read ljfriends since the 25th. Left belated comments where necessary. (skip=400 before I got back to where I'd seen last)
Anyways, things last week were Sinusitis (I assume), and Two Tests.
Diff E test went over very well (97%), the Thermo test, not so well (54%), but I still have a B in there, thanks to curvature and my stellar score on the previous test.
I had a Dynamics quiz that kinda scared me straight and so I read a chapter from the book while stu drove the last leg back tonight.
I really didn't want to leave the house. Everyone got up late, and then we had a breakfast lunch of pancakes and bacon (I made the pancakes and they came out so well!), and it was just so nice at the house, and I took care of my potted plants (I think the carrot I left in one of them last semester is growing! That, or it's queen anne's lace, which apparently looks just like carrot, but there WAS a carrot there before!)
I read On the Shores of Silver Lake and was struck by how much I really really like it. The Ingalls first get to Dakota Territory, and the family is finally grown up into the structure it takes for the rest of the books; carrie is no longer the piddling baby and begins to have her own character, Mary is blind, and Laura begins to break out into fanciful visions and simile. It's wonderful, and I find myself thinking back to when I first read these, and how much they had to have influenced me.
OH btw, big thing
Stu and I went to look at a couple of apartments on Friday. One of them was shitty, but the other was pretty fantastic. I imagine after some haggling over the terms of the lease and it will be wonderful. We've started looking at furniture (my brother's gf has some stuff to sell from her deceased mother's house in particular) and imagining how to lay things out, how to do lunches, how to do transportation, etc. It's been very exciting. My parents and stu keep remarking on how relatively unexcited I am, but I think it will build. My typical timidity is just manifesting itself, and my natural reluctance to think any further ahead in the future than a month.
