it's time for ashleigh to be a stress monkey!

i have a paper due in two days that i should be writing right now, but instead i'm sitting outside and drinking coffee and blogging and generally shirking anything resembling "scholarly duties".  went to the coops this morning to pick up a few pounds of coffee for my friend, stuck in the middle of nowhere with nothing but folgers to drink.  poor man.  :-(  i can't wait until i'm here and settled and i can buy fresh fruits and veg at the coop without my mum getting on my case for wasting money at things i could have bought at winco for cheaper.

on an aside, the weather today is gorgeous.  it's warm, but there's a breeze blowing and my legs look fabulous in little denim shorts.  i'm happy.  nothing like the sadness that i had last week. maybe i'm just adjusting, relearning how to do things by myself.  it feels like an accomplishment, however small.

if i finish my schoolwork early enough i'll write the two letters i need to get done, and maybe get some poems on paper that have been floating around in my head.  otherwise i'm just gonna keep on swimming and smiling and generally enjoying life :-)
