fenway, wedding, semester
I finally got to tour Fenway Park on Sunday, through a tour set up through the SU Alumni Club. It was really neat seeing the inside of the ballpark and learning about all the history of the place. In an interesting turn of events, we got to sit inside the press box, which is where I could have easily ended up had my journalism career gone otherwise!
Wedding planning is going well and is pretty much wrapping up. The next steps include finishing the invitations, planning the shower and bachelor party, and other last-minute things like tuxes and whatnot.
The semester is also coming to a close. It's been a good one, and I've learned a lot. I'm tired though...I really can't wait to have my Monday and Thursday nights free again.
Other than that, not really much going on. I probably should write more but what else is new.

plugging along
Just a short update here while I wait for a conference call to begin...nothing all that interesting has happened lately. Mostly your standard domestic stuff. We bought a new shelf for storing excess groceries in the kitchen; we're trying to get the cat to stop jumping on certain pieces of furniture. Went out for a pub crawl with some friends this past weekend. My 4th semester of grad school is wrapping up. Nothing else much.
I've been 30 for just over a month so far and that has probably been the biggest...I hesitate to use the word "struggle" because it's not like anything that significant has changed, except that I feel more inclined than ever to try to take certain things more seriously, etc. I'm not sure that I'm doing a great job of it. Just the standard stuff: get up earlier, exercise more, drink less, eat more reasonably, do the sorts of things I should be doing. I find that to be kind of difficult given the sort of extended adolescence that our 20s are these days, and I'm sure I shouldn't be treating it as this sudden lifestyle change sort of thing, but I find it hard not to.
That's really about it. Lots of stuff on my list to do, not a whole lot that I feel that motivated towards, unfortunately. Plugging along.
