Random bits of news
I have my first official cold of fall term! Woo. I feel like there's little dwarves inside my sinuses pounding the walls with tiny hammers.
School starts next week, and it looks to be another stressful term. I have classes only on MWF, which I initially thought was really great. However, all my professors' office hours conflict with my other classes! I go basically from 11:30 to 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, with a break from 12:35 to 2pm. Wednesday is going to be an especially long day, since the rocketry club meeting goes from 7pm to 11pm. Friday isn't so bad, I only have my statistics class from 11:30 to 12:35.
I'm also not too sure about my book situation. I bought the book for my online technical writing class. The other two books are on reserve in the library, so I didn't buy them. I've never been very comfortable studying in the library, but if I can avoid spending an extra $200 on books, it might be worth it.
I've been packing the guinea pig supplies so I can donate them to the Oregon Humane Society. I made a list of all the supplies and how much they cost me, and it was close to $400. I had some idea how much stuff I bought my pigs over the years, but to have that much on hand is just rediculous. I had no less than three opened bags of hay, two bags of pellets, and tons more towels than I ever needed. There's going to be a big gap in my apartment when Jamey's dad comes to take it all to OHS tomorrow at 10am. However, I see it as a step towards healing. I'm doing much better now, and I'm kind of glad this all happened before school started.
I looked another possible wedding location today. It's called the Church in the Woods. It's not in the woods; it's actually located in a suburb by Lake Oswego. The view of the lake was pretty, but the place was very unfinished. The guy kept saying, "We'll have sod put in soon," or "We're going to level the slope and put in some plants on the walkway." It was way too small, and the chapel was just ugly, IMHO. People should not do paint jobs on their own. I might post some pictures we took, but it's definitely off my list.
I also have a book review I want to do, but I need to get myself back on a school sleep schedule.
