Now we can both be stressed.

Drew started working this week! He accepted an offer to do some freelancing for a former boss who's relocating to NY from LA. He reconnected with her over email and told her that we were in Philadelphia. This past weekend she asked if he'd consider doing some stuff for her.

I'm really happy, because I think it'll be so good for him to meet some new people. I was pretty jealous on Tuesday because he got to take the train to Manhattan for a meeting. It was a gorgeous day, too. Ugh. I wish I were taking daytrips to New York. It's only an hour-and-a-half by Amtrak. Anyway... I don't think he'll be doing that very often. We think he'll be working from home mostly.

When Drew works, he works around the clock. A switch has definitely been flipped already; it's 12:47am and he's still working. For eight months he was pretty much doing as he pleased and really didn't seem to mind that he was unemployed. Now he's in his office panicking, trying to meet some deadline. He's flying to Vancouver Sunday for a presentation. He's very fancy all of a sudden.

I tried to get him to come to bed and he kind of snapped at me. Which I totally deserved. I didn't leave the library until 10:20 tonight and he didn't say a word to me about that. I guess it's my turn to try to be understanding.

I should really be sound asleep right now. My exam is in 7-1/2 hours. I studied so long today (13 hours) it would really suck if I performed poorly just because I was too tired to focus.

I can't wait for a free weekend. Too bad Drew'll be graphic designing the whole time.
