Another Sunday.
Too much excitement this past week, in all honesty. Tuesday brought test-driving a silver Dodge Caliber and getting approved for a loan by the bank. Wednesday Lauren and I went to Fiesta Texas. It was fun, overall, but the park ended up being a bust. It wasn't crowded at all, but we both kind of got sick on the new Goliath roller coaster. We left after only a few hours. Plus, that place is a rip off. Thursday I said goodbye to my JP and hello to that brand new Caliber that I drove on Tuesday. I was REALLY sad to see my Jeep go (I still miss him) - holes in the floor and everything, that car meant a lot to me. But out with the old and in with the new. My new car is simply amazing. It drives great, looks great, has an AC (!!!!) and an iPod jack. No complaints from me other than I gotta get used to driving it. Love it. Okay ->Thursday night / Friday morning was THE DARK KNIGHT premiere. I went to pick up tickets for me, Travis, Lauren, Matt, and Steve and the midnight showings were all sold out - so I got tix for 1am and holy hell, the movie was mind-blowing and amazing on so many different levels. I'm sick of people talking shit about it only being "awesome" cause Heathe Ledger died (which is even more painfully tragic now), but his performance was brilliant. Definitely the best movie I've seen all summer. And Friday, of course, the much anticipated (for me) Mama Mia! Dark Knight may be the best movie, but Mama Mia is what I've enjoyed most this summer. All kinds of cheesy and fun and it's a great way to spend a couple of hours and put a smile on your face. It was a busy week, but a good week.
This week looks majorly less awesome. I have a HUGE presentation tomorrow and a not as huge, but still very important, presentation on Wednesday. I'm nervous about both... and I'm thankful, but even more nervous about my take home final for my communities and organizations because it's gonna be tough. I plan on having the final done on Friday or Saturday so when I go to school a week from tomorrow, it's just to see my friends and fill out evals. I think I've enjoyed school this summer - and while I still have plenty of beef with the social work program at UT - I don't have beef with social work. I am so excited about starting my career, but that is about 2 years away. Hurray more and more and more debt. Gotta love how tight things will be with a car payment (but at least now I have really nice and RELIABLE transportation.
Okay, so the second I'm done with my final I'm diving into New Moon and Eclipse... so I can have those done by the time Breaking Dawn comes out! I'm also (hopefully) going up to Fort Worth to see the in-laws. We haven't seen them since the wedding... and that's the longest it's been since Travis and I started dating, even. I like his (well, mine too now) family a lot. The utter lack of drama and irrationality is comforting.
I really had planned on going to Idaho with my family. I really only just want to go to Idaho to see my sister and Matt. They are driving and they are also making a trip out to Las Vegas (9 hours away from Pocatello). One, Travis can't get off work and I will be gone for about 2 weeks - I am really, really, REALLY gonna have a hard time with that... and two, I just don't know if I can handle everything else that goes along with the trip. So I am really torn. I want to go see my sister, though.
Anyway, that's about the extent of what's going on with me right now.
