Spin forbidden

Today I faced yet again the Dilemma of the Ungive-able Compliment: someone behind me on the bus was wearing really nice cologne, but it's never quite right to tell a stranger that he or she smells good.

Another issue I encountered today: I'm already starting to schedule pretty heavily well into the new year, but my planner (which I use religiously -- seriously, I'm a little obsessed with it) ends with 2007. So now I have to carry around two planners for, like, two months of the year. Does that defeat the purpose of buying one-year planners? I was going to just buy another eighteen-monther but they didn't come in Moleskine's special edition red. I effectively chose style over practicality, which is something I strive to minimize. My life is hard.

Also: I have a job lined up for after I graduate. I was pretty pumped to hear that I was acccepted. It's a program I really believe in, but it's going to be a real challenge. However, I already have some very nice folks who have been offering me help. Plus, rent in Baltimore is way more reasonable than here. I'm moving in June. Ask if you'd like details, because I feel a little weird posting personal things on here.
