First off, Ooooowww... Tendonitis is not at all happy with returning to the "on your feet all day" schedule. My left foot started twinging and pulling around 12:00 this afternoon, I was gimping by about 3, I very much wanted to sit down and not move by about 4:30, and as soon as I got home ten minutes ago, the first thing I did after I put the groceries away was get an ice pack out of the freezer. Now my foot is very cold, but at least it doesn't hurt anymore. At least not at the moment. That will likely change as soon as I attempt to start walking around again.
Second, we had our second class of Glacial Geology today. I actually really enjoyed the lecture, and it turns out the teacher is one of those really awesome lecturers who can get by without Power Point. Instead, she just had a basic outline and she adds all the important stuff as she speaks, talking plenty slow enough for us to take notes and not be all OMG, SCRIBBLE SCRIBBLE WAIT I DIDN'T FINISH THAT SLIDE GO BACK! and end up getting a hand cramp by the end of lecture. So, you know, we actually *listen* to what she is saying. It works out quite nicely.
Also had our first GIS lab today. We had to use DOS for part of it. That was all sorts of not being fun, but I managed to get through the DOS part with only two or three mistakes that required a retype, and then I made it about two thirds of the way through the lab itself. I'm thinking I have at least an hour and a half left, though, which I'll hopefully be able to finish up this week sometime.
Oooookay, thats enough with the ice pack. I can't really feel my toes anymore.
And lastly, went to Plover to get a W-2 that was mailed to my old address instead of my new address and I got to snuggle a Rufus. Or at least pet him like mad and go "OH RUFUS, I MISS YOU!" Headed to Micky Dee's for a late lunch around 3:30, and then to ShopKo in search of a cheap comforter cause I was kinda cold last night. Did not find one, woe, but I did discover that the little travel bags I had been eying for the last year or so were on sale for half price (19.99 down from 39.99), so I didn't leave empty handed. Alas, my color choice was kind of limited (a kind of eye-straining black/white pattern, what I think might've been some stripes, and a plain green one) so I did not get the purple one I had been hoping for. I did get the last dark green one, though, so I'll count that as a win.
Then I got groceries and only spent 21 dollars. Go me!
Gonna go try and talk myself sending in my resume for that Earth Magazine internship now. (What can I say, I am chicken shit. I still have every intention of applying, but I keep "accidentally" forgetting it cause I am a coward who hates paperwork. Ignore the fact that the internship would involve writing a bunch of articles which totally fall into the "paper work" category).
