A funny thing happened on the way to the Coliseum...I've had my car for only three days now, I've only driven it twice and already the battery has died (it turns out that I didn't leave a light on inside). Not that that is a big issue because I have warranty for a new battery, but getting out to the Farm and Fleet is another problem. I thought my day was looking up, I went to the football game, walked around, ate a sandwich, things were looking up. Then I went to work, it was a little hectic but since I'm SuperGirl I spoke on two phones at once while taking a dine-in order and pouring drinks. Things were humming along and we were making quite the mess in the kitchen (which annoyed me but I didn't really have time to clean it). I start making a hot sandwich, bread butter the whole nine yards. When I turn around to measure out the Italian beef *HISSSS* there's a weird hissing noise and my hip is tingling. Oh wait, there's an 800 degree deep dish pizza pan on my hip searing my flesh off. Oh, what fun! Needless to say, after putting butter on it (it was the only thing we had around) it stopped killing me after an hour. But today is looking up. The sun's out, I ate breakfast at my favorite place, I had a theological argument with Swanny, and the burn has stopped oozing. I'm pretty worried that I won't be able to dance today at rehearsal, or on Monday when our faculty view all of the pieces and pick which ones are going to compete. The weird thing is that I have solos or duets or trios in all of them which would look a little "different" with a missing person. Ahh well, it's off to read 4 books, study for a Martha Graham Exam, read the Wall Street Journal, and write a paper. How weird...
