so, my car will hit
5,000 4,800 [i don't know where my brain was when i wrote this... obviously not in its right mind][randomly, think about this sentence: it's environmental in nature.] miles today. i never thought the term milestone would be so appropriate... speaking of milestones, i also applied for a passport yesterday - my first one as an adult! i'm pretty excited about that, really.
randomly, this exchange is from a long time ago, but i remembered it the other day and laughed out loud, so i thought i'd share. (the precise wording is a bit hazy, but you'll get the gist.)
mom: alright, getting in [the car]'ll take me a minute 'cause i've got all this stuff to carry.
dad: why don't you just put it in the trunk [of my car]?
mom: b/c you've got junk in your trunk!
helen: *gigglefit*
work is boredom right now. everyone at my office is in malaysia, but i need to be here full-time to make deposits and answer phones. (not that we've gotten more than 5 calls or so this week, but, y'know.) i've been out of the house at 8:10 and only make a short bird-feeding and deodorant stop there before i finally get home after class at 9:20 or so. it's a long day. remind me not to become a workaholic. speaking of that, i thought work'd be good 'cause i'd be SO bored i'd write all my papers. let's just say i underestimated my procrastinating spirit...
left for this semester:
1 low-stress presentation (4/25)
1 first-person, 15-page paper (due 5/2)
1 in-class, open-book (praise the Lord!) exam (5/2)
1 take-home, open-everything exam (due 5/3, presumably)
i bought my books online today, so between that and the expedited passport, i'm a little on the broker side. however, i am working full-time for a week, which means my paycheck might just even things out.
is it wrong to listen to chevelle while you're working in a Christian office with a lot of old-school type Christians? i hope not. i'm anticipating comments, though, i have to say.
i'm off to open mail - the highlight of my day! (please note that if i had time to go see my nephew, THAT would be the highlight. i'll take him way over mail any day. actually, i'd likely take any of you over mail. you're pretty cool, after all.)
