lackluster

tonight i talked grad school budget with dad. looks like i'm going to be eating beans and rice for the next 2+ years (at the very least). at least the fat tire brewery has free samples on a daily basis, so if i need a beer i can head over there for a free pint (once i add up the 4 4oz. glasses!). HA! but seriously...anyone know any kids in fort collins who need babysitting? because i'll be allll over that!

to continue on the train of depressing matters, i spent the weekend at the lake with no camera for 1 day, then a dead camera for the next. i will say it was nice to be removed from technology for a couple days as i read 1.5 books (this and this), but the feelings of lackluster persisted with storminess and an overall absence of energy throughout the weekend.

basically...i need something to brighten me up. hopefully tomorrow will bring some bright, cheery, happy colors and faces to put an upswing on this week. there's a light, i just haven't quite gotten there yet.
