Stuff
Stuff. That's all this entry is. Stuff thathappened, is happening, or is going to happen. You know. Stuff.
1. I saw the Phantom of the Opera at the Fox Theatre a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing. The effects, the music, everything was pretty spectacular. Cross that off my list of things I want to do in my life.
2. Summer classes are almost over. I have to write a research paper. Going to work on that later. Hopefully it isn't to difficult to get done. I just want to have it over with. Classes are over on Thursday. Then I have 2 weeks before fall classes start. I want to find out already if I am going to be a senior mentor for Servant Leadership. I think I will be, but I want the offical word and information regarding the Freshman retreat I would be going on.
3. With school comes financial aid and the screwing over that the school likes to partake in. They keep lowering the amount I am getting. So lame. At least now it should stay at the amount I am getting for my refund. Sooo I will have no money for any of the major expenses I ahve coming up like buying 2 bridesmaid dresses and things of that nature. I will have my money set aside for the trip to Disney World my sister and our roomate are planning for May.
4. I had a job interview on Friday, so if I get the position I won't have to worry about money and lame finacial aid crap. The interview went very well and I am just waiting now to hear back. The position as at a private school's extended day program. If I get the position I won't be able to volunteer at Girls Inc. But I have to be realistic and be able to support myself.
5. I have been a knitting maching lately. I have two Christmas presesnts done and I am about halfway done with another.
6. I decided to stop reading the book I have been reading forever now. Which is hard for me to do since I read more than half of it in hopes it would get better. It isn't. It is Annette Vallon: A Novel of the French Revolution by James Tipton. It is soooo boring. Tipton clearly doesn't know how to tell a good story. The events that are taking place should be interesting and should be drawing me in. He tells them in such a way that everything seems so uneventful or of having no impact. So I stopped reading it after wasting my whole summer on it. NOt hat I have been reading much, but still. So that book is going in the Goodwill pile. I started reading Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson and it is in a word: delightful. I love it. I have the movie (with the wonderful Lee Pace in it) and love it and the book is just as good if not better. I have only read the first 2 chapters, but I know it will be great. So much better than that lame-o book that had only one clever lineour of the hundreds of pages I read. I think I am going to have a read-a-thon when I have my short break between semesters. I will see how many books in my stash I can read. It is my serious goal to have all my un-read books read before I reread books I own or buy or vheck out new ones from the library.
PS: Tags you are annoying and lame as heck.
