it's been a long day.
I don't know what it is about the eighth week, but JESUS CHRIST was the Writing Center overflowing with students. After my five-hour shift my brain melted and poured out from under my toenails.
I guess the school was having trouble with a transformer between the suites and the bookstore, and when a worker went to fix it, he electrocuted himself and was shot up into the air. Half(?) of the buildings lost power and lots of classes were cancelled. "Fortunately" neither the building where i work nor the art building where i have my night class did. All my roommates came home early, while i ended up on campus until 9pm. fuckers.
however, my friend Danny dropped off a birthday present. I guess he really was listening when i complained about losing all of my guitar picks over winter break, because now i have a new pack. yay! AND an art book on the Louvre and some Botticelli and Frida Kahlo stickers. totally made my afternoon.
mother mailed me a card that read "Now that you're 21 you'll be thought of as an adult-" [open card] "by 5th-graders everywhere."
Came home from class and Sean (mooching off of our internet because the suites were still dealing with the power outage) Bev Heather and Lonie had a Banana Split Pie and candles for me. And two bottles of champagne. That's what i'm talking about.
i feel good again.
because today i got: a near-death induced power outage and Mardi Gras?
