I now have my tickets for the two wedding trip this June. I'm going to fly out to Seattle the 17th and my father and step-mother will visit me in Seattle that week rather than my trying to fit a trip to the Bay Area in between both weddings and doing some sightseeing around Seattle. I had this feeling of jubilation this morning as I confirmed the flight because I really look forward to seeing family and friends and visiting Seattle and setting foot on the Carleton campus again.
Books I'm reading/rereading right now:
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami (As per Brynn and Wakey's suggestions, Murakami is wonderful)
The Vor Game by Lois McMaster Bujold
So You Want To Be a Wizard by Diane Duane
Problems of Moral Philosophy by Ronald Taylor
It's all fine and good to be reading Taylor since I'm only able to concentrate on, say, a page for short periods of time, but I need to either choose one fiction book and stop reading the others or else finish reading two of them so that only one is left.

It's going to be good to see you too. I'm really glad that this wedding that you've wanted for so long is going to happen.
Re: isolation, being out of college is really hard. You are still in school, yes, but when you don't belong to a school community it's hard. I really had that problem in Minneapolis. I barely made any friends there, and no one I'm keeping in touch with, because I was concentrating on getting a job. Now that I'm in DC, and employed, I feel much less isolated because of work, and because I don't have time to feel isolated. Unless it's that time of month, and then I'll doubt my abilities no matter how much I have to keep me occupied. So: either it (finding friends) will happen for you, or else eventually you'll have your thesis, and husband, to keep you occupied.
And I'm not really certain what that paragraph means. Oh well.
