A Daily Letter...

Hopefully this is my last night essentially living in the library. I went home after playing a little bit of Halo with Tyler, and my mom and I were talking about how she is nervous Mike's step-son is coming home this Friday and that she was having a "gut-feeling" about that there was something up with Mike. Then he comes over and she is all mushy-gushy like nothing is wrong.

So, needless to say, I needed to get out of that heart and I came up here to the library to work on my papers for the night. I have 4 papers for Museum Studies that are pretty simple (they're about designing Museum cases, or making labels for objects) and I have to do revisions on my Art History paper for my African Art class.

Today was a pretty decent day. I had my French final today, and though it felt really long and covered a lot of different terms and concepts I feel like I did well on it. I'll be glad when this week is over and I can just focus on fixing my Financial Aid so I can be done with Michigan State. I went up to the President's office yesterday and they helped me make an appointment with the head of Financial Aid for next week so hopefully she is actually helpful and listens to me so that they will re-instate my loans and fix all of this.

Tyler also told me of 4 different DTN Properties that are hiring part-time for the summer, so I'm going to go around and fill out applications later today and tomorrow and hopefully get a job going. While my job interview went well at that restaurant on campus, 15 hours at waitress wage and really no tip would've been difficult and I would have only been making barely enough to cover gas. Hannah and I have been talking about taking a road trip somewhere up-north to get away for awhile. She seems to be the only one that will talk to me about me leaving Michigan and wants to hangout and do a bunch of things this summer to make fun memories. Tyler, Tim and everyone else seem to have the attitude that if they just don't acknowledge it that maybe I won't end up leaving, which kind of makes me feel like shit because I want to enjoy this summer to the fullest.

At least it's starting to be nice weather out... mid 70's to mid 80's and sunny somewhat. Tonight there's a gorgeous thunderstorm outside and you can see the lightning out the library windows. I love thunderstorms. There's something about them that are really calming to me.

I miss you very much Corey. I'm sorry texting has been really hit or miss since you've started using your phone in the field. I have been answering the ones I've been getting, so I'm sorry if I haven't been answering some, it's truly because I haven't been getting them. When I get texts from you, I literally drop what I'm doing to answer cause I'm a dork like that.

Love you,
Arielle Elyse Potter
