Lactose Intolerance...

I've eaten delicious, home-made ice cream two nights in a row b/c Alana works for one of the best ice cream shoppes in Chicago and has treated me to ice cream for the last two nights and woh. My tummy is a quakin'. But it's so delicious so it's hard to say no.

3rd week at Northwestern Mutual. I'm finally starting to ease into my new job. I have a better idea of what I'm doing and I'll be licensed for insurance soon. So you know, if you need insurance of the life or disability variety, I can help you out....Everyone keeps asking why I don't just become a financial representative myself instead of working for a bunch of them and all I can say is I already feel like a sell-out working here in general, if I were to sell my soul to the devil to make 6 figures a year, I couldn't live with myself. I realize that's a little self-righteous but fuck off because it's the truth.

I get new glasses this weekend, or at least they'll hopefully be ready. Went to the eye Dr Saturday, she said my eyes have gotten worse. Not significantly, but worse no less and my dreams of having contacts were kind of smooshed upon visit as well. Apparently, due to my astigmatism and the severe pointedness of my cornea's, I'm kind of shit out of luck in the contact area. So I picked out a new pair of glasses to feel better. I like them. I'll post pictures of them at some point, once I get them. I suppose I should start putting my flckr into use and posting pictures of things I talk about but it's an effort that for the most part, I don't really want to make.

It's a little hard to believe this year is more than halfway over. It's kind of a constant reminder that I'm no longer in college. Months have just melted into one another now that I'm out in the working world. It's a little disappointing and I'm trying to remedy this by continuing to pursue Glasgow with the same veracity I pursued Knox with my Senior year of High School. At this point, it's just a matter of having transcripts sent off and letters of recommendation sent out. I'm hoping to have an acceptance letter in the mail by September or October and a deference for Fall of 2009 in my pocket. We'll see what happens.
