CAPSTONE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just went to my SISWeb account, for fun, and guess what I saw!!! Yes, FINALLY, my grade for Capstone. SIX freaking months later. I still don't know when my story will be published, but I'm really hoping it's before the end of the year (although editors get quite hoggy with their space during the holidays) so that I can officially say that I was indeed done with college in 2006.

I'm feeling physically drained right now, but I wanted to share that little piece of joy with you all. I've been with Dad all day, and although he wasn't his anxious-crazy self (rather, person he turns into sometimes), he was quite mopey. I did a pretty good job of taking his mind of things with digging into the family history. Woo!

This song has been in my head lately:

Alanis Morrisette: Simple Together

You've been my golden best friend
And now with post-demise at hand
I can't go to you for consolation
Cuz we're off limits during this transition

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things

I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

You've been my soulmate and then some
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew God's face was handsome
With you I saw fun and expansion

This loss is numbing me it pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything

I thought we'd be sexy together
I thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But I was sadly mistaken

If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe

I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
thought we'd be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken

thought we'd be exploring together
thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
thought we'd be on fire together
but I was sadly mistaken

I think it's mostly because I emailed "him" the other day. I don't know what I'm doing.
