• So, on Sunday, I went to look at a car. There was a lot that was fantastic about it, except for a "wiggle". We told the guy about it. He was taking care of the sale for his daughter, and he sort of went, "Huh, I've never driven it, so I didn't know." But he took the car to a mechanic/the dealership service center, and apparently the wiggle was a ( Read more... )

• After talking to some people, looking at some schools and thinking about it, I've officially decided to withdraw from St. John's at the end of this semester. I've decided that it's not worth making myself suffer through half the program and making myself miserable just for the half that I like. So, I've filled out my withdrawal form, and I have ( Read more... )

• I watched The Eagle last night. (For those of you who follow me on Twitter, I'm sorry. I use live-tweeting movies and shows as a way to diffuse my tension with the things. Thus: Y'all get spammed.) Fun fact: there's not a single woman with a speaking line in the movie. There's this one slave woman who gives Marcus a bowl of soup, and then we ( Read more... )

• Had my last real class today. Still have one last seminar Thursday night, but that doesn't count as a class. Had my don rag and it went well: my tutors all said good things about me. Seminar and Language tutors said that I was a leader in their classes ( Read more... )

• I really wanted the whole getting-me-a-car thing to be worked on this weekend. What I didn't count on was it being Homecoming at my school this weekend, and thus my dad is pretty much unavailable to tote me around to see cars. Sigh. I want to be able to bring friends home to see my cats. And go grocery shopping when I want to. And come home when ( Read more... )

• I went to the gym today! I feel pretty good about this. I finally got some sports bras and some clothes I can work out in, got a locker at the gym, brought some shower stuff, did it all. (And also totally forgot a towel. Luckily they had some that they let us use.) I rode the stationary bike for 25 minutes on the second hardest resistance. 5 ( Read more... )

• I came home from school today to a box full of yarn and journals and a few little other surprises from Mira. !!! She managed to totally stuff my stash bag full. (...good thing I totally have a spare bag waiting to be filled? Bad, Sky! Bad!) I already have two new project ideas for some of it. And I sort of thing it's just what I need. ( Read more... )

• I changed my layout! I like it, but I don't know if I will keep it for overly long. We'll see ( Read more... )

• I went out with my mom today to meet the cat that we're fostering for the next year (and meet the owner too, of course). Such a sweet cat. My mom texted me a picture while I was at work of Hank the Cat already sprawled out asleep on my bed. Awww! I will cuddle with him when I get home from dance ( Read more... )

• Alas, no car for me. Or, not that car. It had a thing wrong with it that would take too much to fix. So now I keep looking. On the upside, I have an appointment to take the road test on Aug. 9th. So. Hopefully there is still a car in my future. At least there is probably driving in my future ( Read more... )
