Holy crap.
I'm done!
I finished all my homework for the semester and submitted it.
Yay for flying homework papers! (as is tradition)
I'm still in a state of awe.
Granted that might be because it's super late and I should be sleeping.
So I'll hate myself in the morning but it'll be worth it CAUSE I'M DONE!
Today was pretty good.
Work flew by - literally flew by - lunch break at the apartment loading up my big fat cat for Mom to take to the farm.
Can't leave him by himself while I'm at camp and he loves the farm.
And grandma.
Though that may not last after she takes him for shots and to be shaved.
It's always an adventure trying to get him into the cat carrier cause he's bigger than the carrier.
Which is a challenge, but we've found if you back him in then it goes faster.
But then he bites.
He's not a fan of the carrier.
Or the car ride.
So, sorry about that Mom.
And work was interesting itself, learned how to calculate interest when I got it for a reference question, and found real estate and some legal cases for one of our regulars.
After work was dinner with the boyfriend's family to celebrate his sister-in-law's birthday.
A month later, but still a birthday celebration nonetheless.
Stopped by his train friend's house afterwards.
Oh yeah, train friend.
Like, they do train stuff together like go watch trains and go on motorcar rides on the tracks and buy train stuff and all that.
He's a nice guy. And he knows my dad and his friends so I can semi-follow conversations.
I did grow up in a house full of train memorabilia so that helps every once in a while.
Got home. Did homework for four hours. Rocked it.
Well, hoping I rocked it.
Either way it's done and nothing I can do about it now.
Relief.
Now I can focus on camp.
Which is actually more stressful than the homework.
But worth it in the end.
Though I just realized that I go out there in like 3 days and I'm totally unprepared.
Even though I have all the applications processed, t-shirts sorted, nametags printed, skits picked out, trailer ready, etc.
Still have to type up and print out all the skits.
And do the cabin folders.
Plus pack.
Haven't even made a list yet.
Thursday.
All on Thursday.
Cause tomorrow I'm working.
Wednesday I'll be at a different library for a seminar - which just happens to be located in the town where the boyfriend lives. Hmm...
But Thursday is a half day.
Half work. Half camp.
So I'll be able to handle it.
Or I'll fake being able to handle it.
Fake it 'til you make it, as Bosslady says.
Okay, tired of typing and staring at this screen. Homework kills everything.
Wipeout and sleep it is.
It's a Little Too Late - Mark Chesnutt
is that kathy griffin?
classic country. love 90's country, was the best. gonna have to buy it on itunes.
AND since it is the first song I heard after finishing for the summer that makes it my Summer Song of 2013.
Basically the rule is it's the first song I hear after completing all my homework for the year and then I can't skip it when it comes up on my iPod for the rest of the summer.
Go here for previous years Summer Songs: http://ckmylifeinclosedcaptions.blogspot.com/2012/06/fireworks-ted-summer-songs-and-binary.html
and a binary solo.
Remember how I'm a nerd?
As if there was ever any question.
out.

Fireworks, Ted, Summer Songs and a Binary Solo
I'm free!!
Until August!!
From school that is, now it's Camp J in high gear. Meeting this weekend with an impromptu golfing session after, but that's really more for our sanity and practice for the big tournament in August.
It was a good day at least. Left early this morning cause I took the Library Goddess with me. I didn't get pulled over and I only ran over one curb with her in the car so I'm calling it a victory.
Class was good, talked about literacy strategies and then presented our digital book projects. I'm just glad it's done, included everything from the syllabus but we shall see.
After that it was the pizza party. Basically a get together meal for all the library students. I met a lot of people, and it's amusing because I get introduced as the Cool Aunt's niece and they all know her so it's like an immediate, "oh yeah!" kind of thing. Highly entertaining.
Added something to the Cool Aunt's haiku, then took off and headed out to see the boyfriend and buy some fireworks.
Hit up my dorm mom's stand, called her enroute of course and she answers, "yes we're open where are you?" The woman knows me all too well. And she gives me free stuff...cause I buy stuff....lots of stuff.
To be fair I did warn him in advance that he was about to see his girlfriend spend an obscene amount of money on something that will literally blow up in her face.
But he'll probably be lighting off half of it anyway.
All I have left to buy is tanks. And I can get those from the Strang stand the day before. They have one in the Dollar General parking lot that I always hit up to support their baseball team. I used to play softball there so gotta show some support. In Strang, not the Dollar General parking lot. Just to clear that up.
After fireworks we went out to eat with his fantastic sister and her amusing boyfriend. They're pretty great so it was cool hanging out with them. And then we hit up Ted. Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, talking stuffed teddy bear, etc.
It was....interesting. I mean, not awful. Heart-warming at times. Highly inappropriate at others.
Scale of Awesome would rate it somewhere around 4/10. It wasn't bad, I laughed, I just don't plan on watching it again.
Very Family Guy-esque. Since it was the same dude it kind of makes sense.
If you don't know the premise, it's basically this kid has no friends so he makes a wish that his teddy bear could come to life and they could be best friends forever. And it works, and then the story jumps to like 25 years later when he's 35 and has a girlfriend who's sick of the bear and all that.
Here:
like i said, interesting.
And, as is tradition. Out for the summer means a new Summer Song.
Cause I'm a nerd and declare the first song that plays after I'm officially out for the summer to be my summer song and I can't skip it for the entire summer. Which works out for some, and not so well for others.
2008: Kat Deluna's "Whine Up"
this was one of them that got old fast.
2009: "Tomorrow Still Comes" Will Dailey
he's a bit quirky, just go with it.
2010: "Remember Last Time" by Avi Buffalo
yes they're kids and his voice is much different recorded, this is live.
2011: "Tonight, Tonight" Hot Chelle Rae
technically it was the radio version, but i found this one and as i've posted the other multiple times, i'm posting this one now. shockingly not sick of this one yet.
which leads me to 2012 and...drumroll....or not.
Big surprise here, though it wasn't planned I hit shuffle as usual.
2012: "Want U Back" the US version of course
get tired of the kid rapper on the uk one.
the grunts really do make the song though, found this one and it's just not the same.
she is fantastic live.
and like 18.
and getting married.
and here's a little something extra just because i can.
Flight of the Conchords "Robo Boogie"
love the binary solo.
OUT!

Poetry in Motion
Okay, gonna keep this short as Ziva is turning against me, even as we speak. I can feel the time ticking before she'll restart this window. Ugh. It's making homework really frustrating. Will fix it later. But I did finish both books and do all the homework associated with them. All that's left is the paper reviewing the teen program. And I already went to the program so I just have to go over my notes and figure out strengths and weakenesses and all that jazz. Another fun thing to think about tomorrow when I'm shelving. Other than the Dewey Decimal System I mean. Actually I find being a shelver very helpful when I work at the other branch because I know the call numbers/authors to most of the sections/books. It makes things easy to find.
So, tomorrow I'll write/post the paper and hit you with my summer song. Which I'm really hoping doesn't suck. Cause once it plays it can't be skipped for the rest of the summer. Like I said, I'm a nerd. go here and scroll down to the paragraph about the music recs for the full story: My Life in Closed Captions: sickness, bee stings, greek mythology, zombies, un...
I finished book #12. I read 12 books in 6 weeks. Went to classes, did homework to go along with them. Went to a teen program, interviewed teens... I should feel accomplished. Right? But all I feel is like this just... headspace. I feel awful. That last book was completely depressing. Complete buzzkill to my joy of being 99% done with homework until August. I can't even like ugh.
But today was fun. Hysterical at moments.
Quotes:
Me: Does the coffee machine in the staff room actually work?
Fearless Leader: DON'T DRINK IT!
i almost fell over laughing. apparently it's bad. good to know.
Little boy: Is there a baby in your belly?
John Boy: Nope, just fat.
Little boy to his father: Dad, are you fat?
i was laughing about this one for a while. mostly because he asked john boy and as john boy is actually a boy boy i'm not sure that's possible. unless he was like arnold schwartz-howeveryouspellit in Junior. or that dude on grey's who was having a hysterical pregnancy. "Psych!" "Surgical!" just for you sketch.
Songs for the night:
I'm in a very Evanescence kinda mood but as I used Amy Lee's theme for yesterday I will have to hit shuffle and find something else for tonight...hmm...
"She's a Bad Mama Jama" Carl Carlton
yes that is his real name. and i think i'm going to claim Aquarius during this video and not participate. that's the joy of being born on the crossover between that and pisces. although i do enjoy his dance moves on the catwalk.
"Play that Funky Music, White Boy" Wild Cherry
funking out in every way huh?
There. Anti-Headspace music. Much better. Now I can sleep.
and usually the whole book changing your state of mind thing can be a good thing - like revolution was totally awesome and i felt all smart cause of the history stuff. zombies vs unicorns was a little wacky but still amusing. the depressing ones are the ones that totally cling to you the longest though. messers-of-minds. seriously.
