  How am I?  & nbsp;  Physically? nbsp;  I'm kind of a mess. nbsp;  I'm not really eating or sleeping much. nbsp;  It's not that I don't want to -  I'm tired all the time and I really do enjoy eating -
 but when I try to eat,  I get full really quickly and nauseous if I continue to eat what I know is a normal portion.
nbsp;
 Exception to the rule seems to be chips and salsa.
nbsp;
 I try to go to bed at a decent hour -  but then I either lay awake,  or do this weird sleep thing where I wake up every 30- 45 minutes convinced that I haven't actually been asleep.
nbsp;
 I got 8- 10 solid hours of sleep at Shawn's Friday night,  which was some kind of miracle,  but today I was awake early again ( thanks,  people picking up yard waste)
 & nbsp;
 Emotionally?
nbsp;
 Again,  a mixed bag.
nbsp;
 Some days are really good,  some days are really low.
nbsp;
 Some days are in between.
nbsp;
 Things seem to be mellowing out a bit with work and relationships and such,  but I'm still up and down -  just a little more in control.
nbsp;
 I think the biggest Agent Of Evil is boredom,  really.
nbsp;
 I long for summers off,  but I know it wouldn't be a good thing for me emotionally.
nbsp;
 I'm not a workaholic,  but I definitely deal better with the rest of life when I'm working.
 & nbsp;
 Financially?
nbsp;
 Good,  actually.
nbsp;
 Well,  I spent $ 40 on underwear today which I probably should've saved,  but things are pretty stable for me right now,  money- wise.
nbsp;
 It's a good feeling.
nbsp;
 I still have bills and such -  but I'm on top of them,  so that's a good thing.
nbsp;
 I still owe money to my lawyer,  but that'll be paid off in a couple of weeks when I get my deposit back.
nbsp;
 Definitely still living paycheck- to- paycheck,  but am hoping that'll change a bit.
 & nbsp;
 Professionally?
nbsp;
 Job sucks,  but what are you going to do?
nbsp;
 There's a couple of things on the horizon that I'm thinking about,  but nothing really worth mentioning -  just some changing around that might lead to opportunities worth considering.
nbsp;
 Not sure what's up with UIUC,  but I've made it my goal to have my GSLIS application out by early August.
nbsp;
 I'm dying to get into school,  but am feeling strangely dispassionate about the whole thing right now,  which means that I've continued to stall.
 & nbsp;
 So it's kind of a mixed bag,  but I'm getting by.
nbsp;
 I've been reading a lot,  which is good,  but challenging as well.
nbsp;
 I rode my bike yesterday and today.
nbsp;
 Tonight we went out for sushi with friends,  which was fun.
nbsp;
 Gambit has been quite bad lately,  and his neediness is just getting to be too much.
nbsp;
 It's looking very likely that Nate will take him back,  and I think that's probably the best thing for all of us,  though I will miss my boy cat.
nbsp;
 This week I mainly work at the hospital,  and it is my friends anniversary with Sarah on Sunday -  ten years.
nbsp;
 Shawn and I had a nice night together Friday,  and I got to wake up with him the last two days.
nbsp;
 Life is a curious thing,  friends.
