Everyone is telling me to prepare for the future. I can barely worry about anything beyond 10 days from now, never mind grad school, bill payments, apartments, jobs, or retirement. (did you know if we'd started when we were 20 and put away just under 200$ a month into an 8% interest retirement account we'd have one million by the time we are 65. I think that's my new goal, is to have a million dollars by the time i retire, and to have a job that i like so much that i want to work past 65 until i just can't work anymore.)

Okay, time to go research Matisse, his period spent in Nice, and women, and possibly windows. (I have such a specific topic!)

Yay! lets all do that, and be super Rich, and it will all be good.

okay, let's see if i can remember everything i wanted to say...

1. boys are stupid, and if your ex is dating a bitch, well, then at least there's no way he can be genuinely happy. i'm sorry that short man turned out to be a jerk, but you have enough guys interested in you that eventually you will like one of them back, and at least you are not dating someone for rebound / revenge purposes.

2. good luck with all of your work! i honestly barely do anything here and i am stressed, so i can only imagine what your life is like. everything will be over soon and then you can relax! (plus, there's always regular reapplications of 50spf sunscreen.)

3. god only knows how the retirement system will work by the time we get to be that age, so don't worry about it yet!

okay, that's all for know. i think i'm going to dye my hair tomorrow (semipermanently) - hopefully i don't have an allergic reaction, since i couldn't tell much from the test patch.

Sarah,
I miss you, come home. That's all.

Also it's weird that Mel is dyeing her hair when we were talking about it the other day. Great minds think alike. Or maybe you just talked to her online.

That is a pretty impressive retirement statistic but I would agree with Mel and not worry about it. 10 days ahead is far enough for the moment.
