Dictionary.com's word of the day is "renascent: rising again into being; showing renewed vigor." (Yeah, I'm a nerd...I know what the word of the day is.) What's renascent in my own life? Let's see...

-My income is renascent. Or will be very shortly. With graduation and then the sudden onslaught of hours at work, in the past two weeks, I've made almost $1000. This is after months struggling to earn enough for two tanks of gas in a two-week period. And thankfully, it's only going to get hotter, so the hours are only going to continue.

-My social life. Immediately after graduation, my social life went down the toilet. But in the past couple days, I've gotten back out there. I went to breakfast this morning with Aubrey and Laura Braden. We're hoping to hit the river on Monday. Laura Pontious and Natalie are coming home on Sunday, so we'll be doing something to celebrate their return. Dany's coming home from France on Monday after nearly a year. I can't wait to see him! All in all, I'm emerging from social Siberia. Lemme tell you, it was pretty depressing. (And here we see Autumn go off on a tangent) I think it's largely to do with the fact that I don't know what I'm doing after this summer. I haven't made any hard plans, and that's driving me crazy. All my friends who have made concrete plans are working on scheduling/signing up for classes and getting ready to move. Me? I'm working almost full-time. I haven't moved out yet, even though I had a very real opportunity. I even got half of my stuff up there before changing my mind. Granted, that's because I'm waiting until I don't have to share a room with Natalie's demonic cat. I will be moving in another couple weeks. BUT. I don't have anything long-term set up, and that's depressing me.

...yeah. I'm out of renascent things. But I do love this word. I'm a word-freak. Laura (okay, for future reference, if I say "Laura" without a last name letter, I'm referring to Laura Pontious) and I have word-wars, where we shoot words we like out at each other. Nothing ever comes of these wars, but I do think they have the potential to be fodder for good writing eventually.
