Beginning of the Semester Inventory

I was thinking about this post from the beginning of the year, and was a little staggered by how much things have changed. Now, as I sit at the beginning of my final semester of school (I hope), I'm taking another.

Age: 24

Relationship Status: Engaged, and very happily so. 

Hair: Medium long, still fading from the wash-out red dye job I gave it in May. 

Current Church Calling: Gospel Principles Instructor (hopefully this one will be going away as the semester starts), IRSC President. 

Current Employment: Instruction Assistant, Administration Office Receptionist, Wells Library; Marketing Assistant, OverstockDrugstore.com; Intern, Monroe County Public Library. (This is the most worrisome part of my life right now. 3 jobs + Internship + 3 classes = I might die.) 

Residence: Bloomington, IN; D'CALC (plus lawyer) 

Activities: Finishing my MLS, planning a wedding, working, interning, working, Skyping with Eric, working, looking for jobs.

Future plans: Meeting the in-laws; graduating; getting married on December 18th in Bountiful, UT; moving to San Benito, TX for about a year and a half (and then who knows, but hopefully a bit closer to home); looking for a job in San Benito (come on, public library!)

Currently reading: My summer Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd; How Right You Are, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

Currently listening to: Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Carolina Chocolate Drops, The Punch Brothers, The Avett Brothers, The New Pornographers

Currently watching: Battlestar Galactica, Psych, Project Runway

Currently anticipating (besides the obvious): my trip to Houston next weekend, Elder Holland at Stake Conference, The National concert (and Eric's visit in conjunction with it/conference), the new Sufjan Stevens album, my Reader's Advisory class. Secretly wishing that I will have enough money/time to see David Sedaris when he comes in October.

Recently acquired: a wedding dress, purple shoes, and an uneasy truce with mushrooms

Goals for this semester: Balance classes, work, Institute, wedding planning, and long-distance relationship and some semblance of a social life - without collapsing on myself like a dying star. 

And off we go!
