drownedinlight So today, is kind of meh. I'm really sleepy and I'm about a thousand words away from my total today and Atalanta just does not want to be written and now it's so late that I want to finish my homework before I go to bed (at the very least, my math homework, because I don't think the other things are going to quite get done at this point, but I still want to try and get those done tomorrow somewhere, but probably tomorrow morning, because my math teacher is having us climb a mountain tomorrow...more on that in a minute). I have not done a lot this weekend because...well, I guess I just haven't.
I think one of the reasons I didn't was because I felt kind of overwhelmed by my list and I just felt like I didn't know where to start. I think I also did feel like I was getting some stuff done and that I really needed some down time. Both of these are probably true, because I was trying to social network to get people to do this survey for my Comm class (which we only got assign like last wednesday, the group that is, he approved our surveys on this wednesday and expects it to be done next wednesday and it's really frustrating, because I feel like we haven't had nearly enough time to do this project right and I'm almost worried about failing this, but I don't think it's going to happen). And I actually did get some stuff done. Plus I feel like I haven't been sleeping a lot so I was trying to rest this weekend, especially since I have this feeling that I am going to get sick after semester is over.
So yeah, not much got done this weekend.
I did go out to dinner with Abby and on the way over to Olive Garden from the mall (because our shuttle only takes us to the mall, and Walmart and down town and Abby wanted buy me dinner because I helped her save a poem. And I kind of wanted to go to Olive Garden), we walked through JC Penny and I saw that they had a lot of dresses on sale, so I asked Abby if she would mind if I tried one on, and she said no. So I tried it on really quickly and it fit really well, and I really liked it, so I called my mom and asked if I could buy it and she said that I could if I had enough money and my checking. I checked and I did, but then the card reader at the cash register would not read my card. I tried several times and it just wouldn't work. So I had to go to this ATM out in the mall.
But you see the thing about ATMs is you have to take things out in twenties and I would have had to take out a mutiple of twenty to pay for the dress that would have been fine...except for the surcharge. With the surcharge I didn't have enough. But it said that I could take the money out of my savings...the ATM lied to me and I was verily pissed. And very frustrated that I was making Abby wait so long. But then they had the dress on hold for me, so I got onto my phone and transfered funds into my checking from my savigns and finally had enough to withdraw from the ATM. FINALLY.
Then I went back and paid for the dress in cash (FINALLY) and then we went to Olive Garden. But wait, there's more. We had to cross a street with no real cross walk at the place where we needed to to get into the Olive Garden parking lot. So we just had to wait the cars stopped long enough to cross the street. Then it was really cold in the Olive Garden, and I started getting a headache in there somewhere. The food was really good, but you know Olive Garden. They like it when you can't finish a plate. Then we had to walk back across the hard street to cross after we didn't finish our food. Abby and I talked about whatever came up and I am really tired--just brought up a lot of subjects.
When we got back to the mall, though we ended up looking at shoes because I needed a pair that went with my dress, because the flats I have (and the other shoes for that matter) would not really go with the dress I bought. So we went to a couple of different stores and I tried on a couple of pairs of shoes I didn't like and I was trying not to notice that my right foot is about half an inch longer than my left foot (which I just recently discovered), and eventually, I ended up with a pair of brown flats that go with my dress, and I could wear with brown slack ans skirts for business reasons more than anything else.
I'm trying to think about what I did on Friday, besides going to work and not really doing homework. I applied for a job at Borders, which I really hope I will get because the gig looks kind of cool, and I would really like to work at a bookstore. Not to mention if I work enough hours I could pay off what I have left on my hollins account, have some spending money and maybe enough to buy a small fridge (which I will need for when I get off of the meal plan). Friday kind of sucked I guess, but I have already vented my opinion about that.
So, today, today is Easter (thank you Jesus for dying and rising again) and I hope all of you are mightily blessed. Today I spent lots of time on my own trying to do stuff, then spent time with friends trying to do some of the same stuff, and then went on a easter egg hunt with those friends. I came back and tried to start writing, but it didn't want to happen. I didn't even make it to a thousand words. I only needed sixty-four more, but it just did not want to happen. I need a shower and sleep. Good night.
