One death:

On to other things. Today I hung out with Alex, Harsha, Christine and Monica for a little bit after p chem. We went and got chinese food, I was a good girl and didn't eat meat. Played Cranium after dinner, Christine and I totally beat Alex and Harsha. Joe and this other guy, apparently his name is George, came over later and they all started drinking. Well Christine and I didn't. Watched Degrassi today at my house, b/c I can now, woohoo for my dad getting digital cable. Oh and I won't even talk about all the god damn ignorant people that shop at Walmart aka Hell. I just went there b/c Target doesn't have my deodorant, and of course they did. So I came home to tell my dad that I'm never going back and that if I need something I'm going to show him what it looks like and have him get it for me. I just cannot deal with those people. I should point out where the condoms are to some of those people. UGH!!! Anyways, I'm excited about getting my hair dyed and trimmed tomorrow. I don't want to know how much this is going to cost, but as long as I look beautiful why not? Just kidding, I'm not that full of myself lol. And right now I'm making brownies, I hope they turn out ok. I know it's a shock, I'm being domestic right now. And I'm even doing laundry. Oh I registered for the last time on Tues -sniff- I'm taking Chem 343 (p chem lab), Chem 444 (p chem 3), Chem 452 (biochem 1), and Hist 101(Western civ after 1648). I'm interested to see how biochem is going to go considering I haven't had bio since freshman yr hs. Oh and I'm taking Math 310(linear algebra) over the summer, it's a nite class too(5-7:30 TR), so that's no fun. I think that's about it for now. I have a ton of stuff to do for next week blah.
