What makes you feel at home? Does any one have stories about the things that made them realize that they were "home"? Was it the people, place, work?

It's so nice to be able to take a break after a harrowing semester,isn't it? My summer is rather dull by most people's standards, but I'm pretty excited. I'm taking a summer class in June (which being the nerd that I am, I'm actually really excited about) and filling the rest of my time with books! so many books, and

Since I work at a book store, we have contact with reps for publishers, and we can get copies before release. I haven't read the first two Divergent books yet, but I think I'll add them to my summer reading list.

I need help from any Jezzies who read YA! I work at a bookstore and I volunteered to organize and lead a book club for teens. The premise of the book club is that we discuss books that haven't been released yet, sooo are there any fall/ late summer YA releases that you are particularly excited about (well-known or

Thank you! I've calmed down a little bit, and I think I'll be able to finish it. I'm not sure how it'll turn out, but I'll at least have something to turn it.

I need to calm down! HALP ME!

It's so hard to make those sort-of connections into something more substantial (for me anyway). I'd be a hypocrite to say that you should act, because it's not something I would be inclined to do, but I really hope you do! Maybe you'll be able to figure it out better than I can.

I'm considering taking a summer class for the sole reason of being able to spend 3 hrs a day with this guy that I'm into. He's in one of my classes now, and he will be again in september, but the term is almost over and I don't want to not see him for 4 months.

This is such a lovely wedding song! Listening to all of these songs is making me have the feelings. Thanks!

Rocket not required. This made me really sad in a really happy way. It makes me want to have someone to listen to a song with.

Oh man, Moondance is one of my ultimate romance/love songs. I can't believe I didn't think of this one!

Hey there,

50's housewife is my fantasy when school gets frustrating. I'm only doing my undergrad right now, so I can't even imagine how much more frustrated you feel while doing a Masters. On a bad day my response to people asking what my goals are is "Marry rich, have a couple of babies, and make sandwiches".

But, but nobody would be able to hear my laughter if I didn't take off the peel first. I'll try to leave my peels of laughter in the garbage next time.

ahh! I'm only replying to say that I am super happy to discover another Saskatchewan Jezebel reader. Sorry for the pointlessness, but it's neat to know someone else is out there. :)

Thank you so much! Maybe I can find something similar to that near me.

Thanks for replying! I've had melatonin suggested to me before, so I think I'll try it before doing anything with prescriptions. I used to read every night before bed but haven't been doing it lately. I think I'll start up again.

Thanks! This is really helpful if I end up having to go that route. No Trader Joe's where I live. Is there a particular ingredient that makes it better?

I haven't seen one yet, but I probably should. I've been hoping it would improve on its own. I think I'll try establishing a sleep routine, but if it doesn't help I'll definitely be going to the clinic. Thanks for replying!

Alcohol is pretty much the only thing that helps me too. But, like you said, it's not something I can do a lot of during the week :(
