Back to Boring

Now that my adventures abroad are over, it's back to the boring stuff.
Unfortunately, that means that even when I'm busy, there isn't much interesting to report.
For instance:
1) My new car has insurance! Yay! And it's registered, and got a date with the mechanic for (another) inspection! And my old car has a for-sale sign, which is so depressing, but needs to be done. Anyone need a 1993 Honda Accord? Works great, just got inspected, great tires and everything... tell your friends.
2) Still searching for grad schools and programs, and started my app to the Peace Corps (scary thought. I'm HOPING that I'm accepted into a forestry/wildlife program. I'm not a huge fan of people, but working with animals and conservation for two years sounds like something I could handle.)
3) My room above the garage is still neither cleaned nor even finished. Every time I try to organize something, I make a bigger mess. And as soon as I start to get really productive, the insects start in. I've had gigantic demon killer hornets that refuse to die (tried three times to squish it), gargantuon godzilla spiders that vanish into sweatshirts (said sweatshirt is still outside on the railing. I'll eventually throw it in the washer when I think Godzilla has left it), and swarms of moths (okay, not really scary, but STILL!). Rizzo (for those of you who don't know him, he's my favorite boy-- a gorgeous blonde cat who is better trained than many dogs) sleeps up there with me at night, but although he will defend me from hyper-active ankle-biter dogs, apparently he feels I can fend for myself against insects, and just watches my efforts at de-bugging my room with a bored expression. He DOES snuggle with me afterwards to make me feel better though, so I guess that's something.
4) I have yet to go hang out with my friends. I DID go fourwheeling about the day after I got back to Sunapee, I dropped off a present and chatted for about 20 minutes with one friend, and another of my friends stopped by to say hello for five minutes, but other than that I've been incredibly anti-social.

And so it goes. Babysitting for a family friend tonight, working for a couple hours tomorrow...

I want to go back to Cyprus :(
