cube thursday + missing him

today i didn't go to school because it was the only time my sister was free to help me get a semi-formal costume (i can't say what it is - you'll have to wait and find out). for lunch we went to the cube where they have 'stone dining', where you are given a raw piece of meat on a 32804382 degree stone. the man who bought our meal had maybe finished explaining that they are very hot, don't lean on them, don't bump them, don't lick them, a minute before i accidentally touched it. probably the most painful burn i have ever experienced in my life.
the lighting in the cube was a bit funny, so while i was cooking my steak (of course paranoid that it wouldn't be cooked enough), i wasn't sure if the steak was pink or it was just the lights.


i know that i haven't blogged in ages - going back to school was insane. i worked monday night 4-9pm and tuesday 5:30-8:30, so i was absolutely dead both nights. yesterday i stayed behind at school until 4:30 to help with semi-formal preparations and when i got home i went for a jog.
but i will get back into the habit, since i can't ever keep a diary, this is the next-best thing. i had a diary once which i kept for a few months when i first started dating bren, and reading back, i'm so glad that i had it. i wrote down so many things that i would have forgotten otherwise and sometimes i read it and get butterflies. 


only a week until i see jodi picoult, and i should really finish the book that she's talking about (i started reading it today, i'm up to page 17) but i don't see that happening. i wish i wasn't a slow reader. 


also, this week was bren's first at tafe. i haven't seen him since last monday and i am just about going crazy. it's hard going from seeing somebody every single day, to not at all. i will see him tomorrow, and i know that i'm going to value time with him so much more, but i just need him sometimes; his hugs, his kind words, his kisses on my forehead. i've called him each night but it somehow doesn't measure up to having him in the flesh... i'm counting the hours until i see him.
