back to the life

I have been back in the United States for a week and a half now. With the end of my beautiful stint in China came the end of desiring summer. I'm tired of my job and I seriously want to go back to school. Not to say I don't enjoy the things at home - I slept over at Dani's house on Friday, my Netflix, my brother, books at the library, my old girl cat, even my parents - but I've had them for the last two plus months. Basically, it's gotten to the point where this old life, two plus months is enough.

What I've been thinking about lately is the product tie-ins with cereal. They should never stop. There is something classically ridiculous and exciting about toys and special offer send-ins inside cereal boxes. I went with my mother to the grocery store the other day where we bought two boxes of Rice Krispies and a box of Frosted Flakes - over such cereals like Multi-Grain Cheerios - because they had Disney tie-ins - character wobblers and a free Disney pin to pick up at Disneyland. It was fun and now I've got two more extraneous little toys around the house - a Tramp and Iago wobbler that my cats like to bat around.

It's time for something new. I just got word that my grandparents are donating and old bed to me for usage next year in the house. I'm worried about finding a suitable desk and chair and storage space and all that. It's exciting to be out of the dorms, but the convenience was awfully nice.
