(no subject)
I hate you, WTAE. I don't care about the Steelers/Eagles game. I know it's a huge rivalry, but I happen to like Kyle XY WAY MORE THAN FOOTBALL. I didn't watch on Monday because I was spending time with my roommates and being a good person in general. Now there's only the season finale left and I'm a little lost, so you can go to hell.
Anyway, when the hell was the last time I updated? Monday? Tuesday? I don't know. Not after orientation... which was stupid as hell. The only reason I needed to really go to Oakland was because I needed to get my ID. Which, by the way, I look like a huge tool in. I should've remembered that it's Welcome Week for Pitt and CMU (as well as rush week. stupid greek life.) and all the freshman are moving in. I should call Nicole sometime this weekend, but the last thing I feel like doing is going back to campus before I have to on Monday night. I know that I'm never driving there again. Not because I can't get to where I need to be, but parking is fucking ridiculous. I'm probably going to go in a little earlier as it is next week so I can stop to the bookstore and get the books I couldn't find online. Carrie, who is my lifesaver of all lifesavers, suggested today that I go on half.com instead of getting all of my books at school. If I did that, I would've spent more than $250. I got all but two (one that one of my professors wrote so it's not like... nationally published and my algebra textbook. There's about 10,000 entitled "College Algebra") and none of the books for my Women & Literature class. There's about eight we need throughout the course of the semester, but there's no syllabus online, so I don't know what we're starting with. The point is that I only spent about $130. I'll probably have to buy my math book full price or some shit like that on Monday, but oh well. Now I just hope that all of my books get here on time.
I met Carrie out in the North Hills for lunch today and we went to the mall just to be stupid and I got out there just fine. It was getting back that was the trouble. Somehow, I was going in the opposite direction of 279S and ended up in Wexford. Yeah, where Christina Aguilera grew up. I found my way back thanks to some very nice people at Sheetz and a bank, but of course I get over the 16th St Bridge and downtown just around 4pm. O_o. That time in any city is ridiculous, but people in Pittsburgh really can't drive. They drive either way too fast or way too slow... or one too many people go through a light at one time (just to stop at another), which makes it very difficult for me to get where I need to be. So, to make a long story short, I took a very roundabout way home and I hope that I never have to go out to McKnight Road ever again. Even though the mall is amazing. Oh, and 376 after 4 is a MADHOUSE. It is any day at that time, but tonight there just HAD to be a friggin' Toby Keith concert. No one cares. I might live in a relatively large city, but all the residents are just hicks.
I am waiting for Carrie to call me back, actually. Tomorrow we're going to try the rush line at the Benedum for the matinee of RENT. She needs directions up here. She's picking me up because well, we can park free downtown at her dad's office. Score? I want to park downtown even less than in Oakland. Anyway, wish us luck with the show tomorrow. I'm not too sure what our odds are, but I'm not passing up a shot at $20 AA tickets. No I am not.
Katie and Dianna left me for the weekend. :(
