It's been a little while since I last updated. Well... I guess actually not that much has been going on. However, last night, I was driving and my car's coolant gauge kept creeping up to the H which would usually mean my car is overheating. There wasn't any smoke or any flames or anything, so it was quite suspicious. Especially suspicious when I pulled over, popped open the hood and engine was barely warm. In fact, it was so cool that I was able to touch the radiator cap which is usually scorching hot in an engine that has been running for a while. Obviously, something was not right there. I was pretty freaked out, but I made it back to my apartment. I had my car towed to Ford in Oak Lawn this morning. The towing guys were very nice. They loaded it up onto a platform instead of hitching it to the back of their truck so I felt pretty good about that. Plus, the towing was free, courtesy of Ford. Anyway, short story long... something was wrong with the coolant and stuff, so I think it's okay now.
Tonight, had a nice little drive to Oak Lawn with the roomie to pick up my car. It was a nice break from being in the apartment and a nice break from school work. Then we ate at Portillos which was super exciting. All in all, it was a pretty nice evening. I am much much much happier now that my car is back and running well. My car is the best listener I have and, by default, knows almost everything I do because usually it takes me there. It's my baby.
Just a little over two weeks until I get to go home. That will be really nice because I'm taking two days off of school so I can be at home for a full week. Of course, I plan to work for three days for some extra cash and I also have to go to the back specialist and to the dentist. ::sigh:: Still, it will be nice to be home. I do miss my family. It's a good thing my family is there because I often feel left out when I'm at home as far as my friends go. There's always something going on that I am not invited to or not informed of. Even when I do go to things, I am left out in the group. I don't get it. It's like no one cares if I'm there or not. Well, I guess it's not that no one cares. I know there is one person who always cares and she always has and always will. She is the kind of person who will walk you to the door when you're at someone else's house who doesn't seem to care that you're leaving.
Anyway, I have a math exam tomorrow. I'm not even bothering to study. Studying is definitely a waste of my time. I had a test in my computer business class. There is just absolutely no way to know what is going to be on the test. I, surpisingly enough, feel like I did fairly well on it. I usually spend that class time playing sodoku. If I didn't have to sign in, I probably wouldn't go but I on test days.
Save the Last Dance is on right now and I'm pretty happy. It's one of my favorite movies but definitely makes me wish I had some sort of rhythm so I could dance. haha. That will never happen though. I'm stuck being a rhythmless white girl who is more suited for square dancing. hahahahaha. Why not, right? I look great in a cowboy hat.
Peace out.
