hooray for eventful weekends!
at work we have these staff meetings most mondays. we start out with a "2-minute-drill" which basically consists of everyone telling everyone else what they did outside of work the past week/weekend for about 2 minutes each. i've usually got about 30 seconds worth of stuff to say and i was beginning to worry that i was boring, haha. anyway, i actually have something to share so here goes:
* registered on monday for my LAST semester of classes. this is a huge deal because i thought i was going to have to stay for the summer but i got the classes i needed and i only need to take 15 hours and i got my last 3 required summer hours waived. it took me a while, but i'm finally going to be a college grad, yay! and i finished 2 majors in 4 years...even better!
* told people that i'm graduating in april. mom is taking off work and coming up for it and my long-lost lovely friend who currently lives in sri lanka has mentioned maybe being able to make it, though i'm not holding out too much hope since it's such an ordeal to come all the way to florida. would be great though...
* i'm done with mid-terms for this semester, woo!
* went to the FSU game. fans were depressed, i felt bad about it but it was nice to sit in the great seats that jon's boss gave us.
* saw 'the prestige' on friday (jon took me on a proper "dinner & a movie" type date, it was sweet and wonderful). f-ing great film, that is. please go see it before someone tells you how it ends. it's just one of those movies like 'the sixth sense' where you just won't watch it the same way if someone ruins it for you beforehand.
* i finally got new glasses! i've only had one pair my entire life. they're 10+ years old. i got 2 pairs and spent about a zillion dollars. i love them (they're gonna make me sooo cool i tell ya, ha!). i found out my vision is actually pretty good, but i have an astigmatism, which is just about the dorkiest word in the world to say. i don't like having something wrong with my eyes but what can ya do? weirdest part of the experience was when the eye doctor's intern put some numbing drops in my eyes and then poked them with some blue light thing. that was surreal and i couldn't feel my eyeballs or eyelids for about a half hour, ick.
* shopped till i dropped at target and decided that i have to lose 10 pounds before i go to new york so i can fit in my clothes.
* jon got a tivo so we've been playing with that non-stop the whole weekend. it's pretty neat, i must say but weird. i think i'll end up watching waaay too much tv.
* jon also got me a senseo coffee maker which is just about the coolest thing in the world for someone who loves coffee. it's fast and delicious so i can stand by it and drink cup after cup after cup...mmm, coffee...
* dolphins lost again, and since the raiders won they are officially tied with them as the worst team in the nfl. oh why do i love things that suck?
* obsessed about my upcoming trip. in 8 days i'll be in ny for the first time ever. that's pretty dang cool. i think i'll be overwhelmed and excited and it will all go far too fast. i have a feeling i'll be daydreaming all week and accomplish absolutely nothing. i printed our the list of bands that are playing at CMJ and it's 5 pages long with names covering each page entirely from side to side. so many choices. i bought lots of stuff at target that i'll need (razors, soaps, toothbrush holder, shampoo, etc.) so it's starting to seem real.
* typed up a large livejournal entry ;)
there's more but i don't think anyone's read through this much. i'm just chatty tonight. i don't want the weekend to be over but i want it to be next week! that's all...till next time, eh?
