Andrew is being loud drunk and annoying...
Here I sit thinking I should type up a semi-normal LJ entry since I haven't produced one of those in a while. I guess I'll do a recap of the last two days, since I don't think I could remember any farther than that.
Wednesday started extra early. Usually I wake up around 12:00-ish (closer to ish and farther away from anything actually resembling 12) but that day I had some apartment hunting to do. I can't say I'm too happy with my current living situation. I pay way too much and get back way too little. I thought I could minimize this and off on my way I went to ATex. This guy named Brian who I heard about thru a friend was mostly helpful. I ended up looking at a few apartments in the Riverside area, but all in all none of them fit what I was looking for and I would have been suckered into a long lease and that’s no good, especially since I probably wont live there in the summer because I'll be making the "mad g's" over at Sallie Mae. I really want to live in my car for the next two months, but I don’t think the city of Austin would approve. I don't get it, you can live on the street but you can't live in your car. Go fig'...
The problem I have is it's either sink or swim and never the 'hey look it's a lifeboat' option. Oh well...
After apartment hunt 2k5 I went to boring History class but that turned out to be pretty bunk considering the class turned out to be only 20 minutes long. It may sound sweet but that only works if it's your LAST class of the day, not your first. I ended up sitting outside and just being dumb for a real long time since I had about 2 hours until my next class. Sometime during that time this weird girl came over to me and started talking to me. At first I had no idea she was talking to me and thought she was just on her cell or something but to my surprise that was not the case. This conversation really made me want to shoot myself. I felt like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber when he was in the bar and that undercover officer was yakking his brains out. She was talking about something like how her boyfriend had just broken up with her and that he said he needed like three months apart from her, and then later she told me that she had met him two weeks prior to our conversation. Also she said that there were things she and him needed to change about themselves like losing 30 lbs and quitting smoking and a laundry list of other things. What the crap! I think I gave people way too much credit before this conversation.
Finally she left and I was left alone. There is a God! Sometime after that while the sun was still high in the sky I decided to go over and talk to this girl who was sitting by herself and was sitting on a bench with a big yellow box. I felt that this needed further analysis and figured it was ok because she was in my Astronomy class. I asked her about the box. We made small talk. She teased me. I fell for it. She had an accent so I asked where she was from. She told me to guess. I told her I didn't want to seem ignorant so I didn't really want to guess but she made me anyway. I said Russia and she said Germany. Apparently Germans don't like to be confused with Russians. Not at all... She laughed a lot and said I had a funny way of saying things. I wonder if this is a bad thing... Class began, I survived through it and then I went home, maybe with a new friend under my belt. The rest of the day is a little fuzzy so I'll end that day there.
Thursday started out mostly as a bad day. I needed to get up earlier so that I would a)get to school on time and b)get some gas and some cash back for many cups of coffee. I got up early enough, but somehow I ended up leaving the house later than usual and to top it off I still had to get gas. This made me about 20 minutes late to my Japanese class. It's a good thing I'm loved by the teacher. Class ended and I then went and got my usual cup of coffee. Sometime after the second cup I went to my Psychology class and got out early for that because the teacher felt sickly. Whilst walking to my car, I noticed that my keys were no where to be found and got semi scared but at the same time didn't really care. I get to my car and cross out the car being stolen option and find my keys are in the ignition but the doors are locked. New cars are supposed to have that thing where you can't lock the doors if the key is in the ignition. I have no idea how I got around this. Luckily my mom and brother were magically going to be in Austin that day and I was supposed to eat lunch with them so all I had to do was wait for them to arrive. Until then I tried to find a ride away from the sun, but the only one I could think to help me was Tiffo and she was still at the school. Also luckily, my brother called at that moment and after explaining my situation and being called a moron he said he would come unlock my car. The bad news was that the guy at the restaurant gave him dumb directions and he went down Pleasant Valley instead of going down I-35 and then made the trip about 20 minutes longer.
At that time the sun got really hot just to spite me and I started getting delirious. I pretended I was two people and made up a simple dialogue.
きのうときょうとどちらのほうがあついですか?
(Which is hotter, yesterday or today?)
ええと... きのうはあつかったでした。 でも, きょうのほうがあついです。
(Hmm... Yesterday was hot, but today is hotter.)
Finally my brother came and we went and ate lunch and all was happy again. They messed up my order and ended up giving me salad dressing with my salad after I said not too, but I lived with it and its tanginess. After that I think my mom felt sorry for me and gave me some gas money and then we parted ways. I came home and did nothing and bought alcohol for Joey and that’s about it. Actually now that I think about it, this week sucked. Hmm... Hopefully the weekend will be better.
