gray day

Today I've started three blog posts, determining somewhere along the way that each one was just not worth reading.

I think the word of the day (so far) is "listless." [Except I'm not sure that that's an appropriate adjective to use for a day when one wandered around Fullerton/Anaheim trying to look Spanish-speaking and checking out ethnic markets (it was fun except for the two minutes I thought I was stuck inside a Mexican market with no way of escape; I highly recommend learning "how do I get out of here?" in the native tongue before entering a foreign market -- even if you don't understand the explanation, the question seems to amuse the employees).]

I am also starting to formulate a theory for why most of the single girls I know in their mid- to late-twenties are working themselves ragged juggling several jobs at once. But I haven't decided what I think about it yet.

I could not identify more with your post! I'm stuck between ungrad and grad and feel
'listless' while i'm waiting for the rest of my life to begin. I was having a conversation to that extent with a co-worker tonight at one of my two jobs (and i'm definitely single).

Emily! It is good to "see" you. Do note, though, that we haven't hit mid-20's yet. I'm not sure why that would make any difference, but I just thought I'd note it. So . . . it's noted. Hm.

noted.
i was more identifying with the post and theory rather than wanting to exemplify it.
