Computer, these may be our final days together.... *sigh.
SO my parents came back with a Box full of various bottles of wine after their wine purchasing spree, as they are wont to do, and they had a surprise for me - A little bottle of Retsina! Not the brand we drank in Greece, but still, it says Product of Greece, and PET(sigma)INA KPA(sigma)I and that was good enough for me! So here I am drinking it and stirring memories of arguing about who would get the ice from the bar to chill our drinks in Sparta.
Anyway, last night was the best dancing night all summer! I am getting so good and it's making me happy to feel accomplished. Wiley was doing all this complicated Charleston stuff, like tandem, reverse tandem, spins, push-outs, and getting into it in weird ways, that grapevine, man and I was following it ALL so well. Once in awhile I'd miss the first beat and would have to correct my footwork, but it felt really good to be able to follow it all. But yeah, I was disappointed at first because I didn't think he was going to come, and I was there by myself, and I felt lame and lonely, but then he showed up and lots more people did too and we did snowball dances and chatted and did the shim sham, and just had a blast. I love dancing. I hope I look cute and not stupid when I dance. I think I might have no "swing" style.
Today my internship was SUCKY. I finished the write-up on the state seal that Keith wanted me to do, and I was really proud of it. He told me to do a write-up of all the seal info I was gathering, so I worked many hours on it searching through info and stuff, and wrote up this 2 page single spaced consolidated report of the history and the symbolism and inconsistencies and when he came in to look at it he decided it was too long and that we should just bullet point like 5 facts for the exhibit. I was crushed because he didn't even read it and then just decided to scrap it entirely like that. Then he made putting together the exhibit SO frustrating and confusing, asking all these stupid questions and never letting me get a word in and rambling about the same thing over and over again. I wish he'd just LET ME DO IT. It'll come out good; I don't do shitty work on any project I'm given. Ugh.
After work I went over to Best Buy to scout computers. This guy was really helpful, and I fell in love with this one model and then he was like, "oh, wait we're not supposed to sell this one until October." WHAT?! Boo-urns. So I've been model searching online, and I've got it down to one or two I like based on the features I've decided I need. Might go buy it tomorrow so I'm up and running before school starts. I feel bad because this one still works, for all intents and purposes, but it's getting quite old and has some problems, and Dad thinks it's time to upgrade.
Ok, shower and study GRE words time!
Tha ethala gyros pita parakalo!
