| It feels like today was way busier than it actually way. I went to class at 9:30, conducted an interview at 1:00 and took a friend to the mall to replace his cell phone charger. I also got a fair bit of reading done for my Latin American history class. The book is horribly dull and I'm going to have a hard time with names in this class. Somewhere along the line, I got into this habit of skimming names I can't pronounce. It's not a habit that will serve me well in this class.
I also sorted out money stuff. That was really depressing. My car needed fixing so between books, my car, and getting my eyes checked I really didn't make much this summer even though I worked my tail off. I'm really hoping that a year from now I will have a decent job and will be closer to being in a financially stable situation. Meaning, not making minimum wage at a job that sucks. For now I will do my best to stay optimistic about my chances. I plan on stopping at the career center tomorrow. Hopefully they can point me in the right direction. Only one more year left in my undergraduate career. Then the scary stuff really begins. | | |
| Its the first day of classes. I've got all my text books, my parking permit, and I checked it at work. Most of my stuff is unpacked though I'm short on hangers. I'm always short on hangers. Not really going to worry about that one. Other than that, not much is going on. My room is set up differently from last year. We'll see it if works out. The way things are right now I have more desk space. That might change when I set up my printer, though I don't plan on doing that until I get a new ink cartridge. I plan on doing most of my printing in the library for now. | | |
| I'm home! Took fricken forever though. I got lost on the way after I got off 70 way to early. I ended up on the beltway during rush hour. Between that and getting lost twice, the three hour drive actually took six hours. Not cool. I had to call Ayla to get me un-lost. She did though, and is amazing.
After I finally got to Sean's house there was cuddles to be had and foods. Ms. Carrie got me a cute little bunny. It makes cute little bunny noises. Her and Mr. Stuart were in a good mood and dinner was good. I wish I could have appreciated it more, but pasta was never my thing and i was tired. Sean and I went to bed really early. Ten O'clock early. So then I tackled him at eight. Then there were yummy yummy donuts and more teasing. And fanfiction. Yummy yummy fanfiction.
Sean and I left his house around 11 to get my car and his mom's car to the emissions place. 450 was closed, so we had to turn around. At that point we lost track of each other. The turn around was at a place where another road feeds onto 450. Someone was trying to pull off that road and it looked like they were going to cut me off. The person behind me was taking the same turn a lot sharper than I was and it looked like they were going to jump in line as well. So I said screw this and went down the side street and turned around there. Sean mean while is waiting for me to catch up and I never do. I end up going all the way to Edgewater even though I'm pretty sure I could have cut through Riva or something. I thought about taking 50 as well. Somehow, and i really don't know how it happened, I beat Sean to the emissions place. They were testing my car when he got there. My car failed by the way, but whatever. I'll deal with it.
We eventually got to my house and then he drove us to Chick-fil-a. I got a milkshake and we've been hanging out here since. Good times | | |
| Today was horrendously long. Sunday's always are though. I worked from 9 until 7:30. The people at work are not happy. Things have been stressful and the students don't appreciate the effort that goes into that place. They leave a mess and its disheartening.
After work, I pretty much just sat here. Read a comic Ayla wanted me to read, piddled around a bit, ate some ice cream. Really I should do some kind of school work before bed. I have two pages worth of writing to do still and a ton of reading to do. Over the weekend I read 480 pages. Silly teachers need to not do this to us. I need sleep! | | |
| I now have in my possession a part of my school libraries roof. It sounds so weird. High winds tore chunks off and strew them across the quad. So now i have a chunk of insulation. The library is going to be closed tomorrow while they work to patch things up. I don't think anyone was hurt, though a number of my friends saw it happen.
Other than that, my day has been full of reading. I did make it to the gym and at one point lost my ID again. I found it though. I tend to put it in my pocket, put other stuff in there, and then when I take the other stuff out of my pocket, my ID falls out. I really need to do something about that. I'm thinking of making a trip to the bookstore to get one of their card holders. That way it would be attached to something without damaging my card.
This winter I have discovered that I need a new winter coat. This one doesn't work when its windy out, mainly because it doesn't fit snug to the body. I feel like a bell while it funnels cold air and snow up my shirt. At one point I used my scarf today as a belt to keep that from happening. Chris laughed is his "what are you doing now" kind of way. ::shurg::
I really should get back to reading. I have another 86 pages in this book, 167 in another, and I have other homework.  | | |
