Went home last night to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower at my parents house. It was pretty spiffy - I was only out there for an hour and I saw at least a dozen meteors, some of which were pretty darned impressive. We also watched Bedtime Stories before we went out. Cute movie; I saw it at the theatre with some friends when I was bored, and it's still pretty good on DVD.
Today, prof who we're doing the internship took us out to lunch as a thank you for all the work we did this summer. Went to The Wooden Chair - tasty stuff, and healthy, too. I had some sort of turkey and spinach wrap.
Lastly, went to Walmart for school supplies. Actually, first I went to ShopKo but their notebooks were 19 cents each, so I tried Target next but the mechanical pencils I prefer were 3 dollars more expensive there, so finally I went to Walmar and got my school supplies. Not sure if it's just the economy or what, but it seemed like a whole lot of places had a whole lot of nothing when it came to a good stock of school supplies. It wasn't even that they were sold out - though that was the case at Walmart for a few items - there just wasn't as much out as I'm used to seeing three weeks before school starts. But I now have notebooks and folders and two new mechanical pencils (though I had to get pencils with 7.0 sized lead because the 5.0 sizes were either not there or out of stock), as well as a new Taz t-shirt because I am weak-willed and Taz is awesome.
Now I want to go swimming. Or take a nap. At this point, nap is more likely me thinks. Very little sleep paired with some allergy stuff last night makes Maren a very tired girl.
