Yesterday I got so caught up in grading papers that I forgot to eat anything all day. Not only did this make me feel terrible, it also meant I forgot to feed the cat. Poor little guy.
Boyfriend wanted to play tennis when he finished work, but obviously my low blood sugar meant I didn't feel like it. Instead we went to see a movie we had both been eagerly anticipating. Sadly, it was terrible. It was one of those movies that has a funny bit here and there, but in between you're wondering to yourself if the film will ever end. Not exactly what I hope for when going to the theatre.
To make the situation worse, the movie-goers in our town seem to view the theatre as their personal living room. I wish I could go to a movie without hearing people several rows away having a conversation.
Now back to grading. I only have twenty-some papers left so hopefully I can finish this afternoon. I will probably need boyfriend to show me how to enter grades officially, but the finish line is in sight.

Winding Down
This past weekend was one last Mizzou fling. One of my best friends from undergrad came to visit, and we went to all of her favorite places. Considering that we did almost everything together, these were all the places I went as an undergrad. It was nice to see the town one more time through the eyes of someone who really loves it before I start packing up my life to move.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't that I didn't love Columbia when I was in college, it's just that that time seems so long ago. I didn't want to come to MU in the first place, and the fact that I've spent seven years here has been a little overwhelming at times. I'm excited to move somewhere that stores open past 6pm and where the tallest building in town isn't the world's ugliest parking garage or a dorm.
As soon as I finish grading papers I plan to start going through my belonging and purging most of the stuff I've acquired in the past few years. As I moved from the dorms into progressively larger apartments, my consumerism has kept pace. Now the duplex is filled to the brim with things that aren't worth moving across the country. I can't wait to go through the house and pare down my belongings.
