all so very dangerous; i can’t stay away

it turns out the tall boots i bought on sunday afternoon were not an unjustified indulgence, but rather a preemptive celebration: i have gotten a job! yes, i did already have a job, but now i have a better job! i liked my job at special collections, and of course i loved working there, but this job includes benefits, a huge (by my sad standards) stipend, and (this is the important part) a full tuition waiver.
this means i can stay in school!
forever!!
school starts tomorrow. i don’t yet know what i’m taking exactly. it will depend on whether i can get into a really exciting class that i have to register for at six tomorrow morning. thus, to bed. next installment: how lauren went back to high school and did not die.
