last night was pretty fun. I hung out with hannah. we went to the faint. but first I slept until 8. rule. I love naps. I nede to eat better and sleep better. that is the way to the future. anyway. I hung out with hannah and we saw the faint. it was pretty good. tv on the radio ruled me.
i resigned today. I start at my new job in a couple weeks. scary. totally scary. but it will be fun. I am excited. some risks. some new experiences. i am pretty sad to be leaving world book though. I really liked working with all my coworkers. I will of course miss them.
much more later…
