Last summer at work I put in approximately forty-four hours of overtime over a period of four weeks. This summer I didn't put in nearly as much, but I worked eleven days straight, while going to class in between. *pauses* It's hard to tell which summer experience is worse, though last summer resulted in more money.
Fox left for Corvallis yesterday. Surprisingly, I'm really okay with it. I'm just utterly bored atm. Hee. He stayed with me for nearly a month before heading down, so I've gotten quite used to having his company. He's coming up for Christmas (yay!) and he's willing to at least be open to the possibility of an 'us' in the future, so things are looking pretty damn good. I'm hoping to hear from him once he gets settled in. I swore (to myself) that I'd give him a week before bugging him. He's onto the next new adventure and that's gonna be distracting as hell, I'm sure. *grins* He left me with a few things of his that I liked/wanted, plus we got pics taken at one of those photo booth things on Monday (we both look like dorks, but *happy* dorks), and he bought me a little stuffed fox as a surprise, which I adore. Now all I have to do is figure out exactly what I used to do with my days before we started dating... O.o
I've started reading a new book series, thanks to Fox and his best friend. It's called The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. The first book is Wizard's First Rule and it's definitely not my usual type of story. Generally I don't do D&D type scifi/fantasy adventure stories, but I've been having a lot of trouble putting this one down. Heh. In fact, my gaze keeps straying to it while I type this up. Guess it's time to go read a few dozen more chapters. Ta!
