I feel like I haven’t written in forever!!!
Well, I got my new phone today 
YAY! It came yesterday, and my roommate was in the shower, and my boyfriend (who was at my house so that if fed-ex came to the door in my room, he’d be able to hear) was in my room, and they went to the front door instead… so I missed it. I was very bummed. But I got it today. Thank you who ever invented leaving a signature. Anywho I can’t activate it though because one of the things that’s wrong with my phone is I can’t call anyone haha. So I get to wait until 5 or so tonight. Not so yay. Oh well, at least it’s pretty.
I’m really proud of myself. I’ve gone to the gym the last two nights in a row, and I’m going in a little while again! Yay for being skinny! … oh yeah, and healthy : P It was really exciting too because last night I went and I was in a bad mood when I got there, but it put me in a good mood. Gotta love those endorphins!
I also had an oral report today on a super confusing article about origins of The Odyssey, but I think it went well, and I think I did better on this than I usually do during speeches. Then I got to work and got to do a project. It’s nice to do projects and get away from the mundane stuff I always do. PLUS I got my work-study situation resolved, so now I can get more hours at work if I want them.
I love good weeks – maybe because good weeks don’t happen often, and maybe I’m exaggerating and it’s only been a good day, but at least it’s making my week look better retrospectively.
Let’s see… my class is also almost over. I have 5 classes left! AND I ordered my books for my next class online and it was only $36! for shipping and everything! AND two of them have already arrived.
Okay, this is probably such a happy post people who read it will puke. I’m going to get ready to go to the gym!
καληνύχτα – aka Goodnite!

Well, I’m back. I’m in Tucson and school started today.
My weekend was awesome for the most part – at least the San Diego part. The wedding turned out really good. I helped make the centerpieces and decorate and then I helped make the food. It was a very disorganized wedding, but small and casual so it didn’t matter anyway. I took way too many pictures 
Well, we left yesterday morning and flew back to Phoenix on a much bumpier ride, but at least I didn’t get too much motion sickness. When we got there we went to my grandparents house. I had wanted to leave Phoenix around 3 pm or so, but since my grandpa decided there was something wrong with my starter he went to put in a new one. He told me at one point that I should take a shuttle since I would have to be down here today for my first class. Well, we decided it would be okay, and so around 6 I left. My car was good all through the drive, but when I got here and pulled into the gas station, I couldn’t get the gear shift out of drive so I called my dad and he told me to get my gas, and then I could still drive home. Well after I got my gas I couldn’t get my car started again. So I had to call a tow truck.
My dad was trying to help me on the phone, but when things like this happen, I can’t help but cry. He got frustrated with me crying and gave the phone to my mom who told me to call a tow truck. Thank God for Allstate’s free towing! Well, I told Frank I was broken down and he came to wait with me and the tow truck came about 45 minutes after I called. The guy was very nice, but told me that if my car was stuck in gear that he didn’t want to ruin my transmission by putting it on the flatbed… Frank mentioned something about “if it rolls wouldn’t it be okay?” but the guy said he didn’t want to take the chance so he’d call a wheel-lock tow truck.
So another 30 minutes or so, another tow truck shows up. The guy is not nearly as nice, but he gets in and sees that my car will roll, so he doesn’t get why he was called to do this. He calls the first tow truck guy who says that we told him we didn’t want him to ruin my transmission and asked for a different tow truck….. as if I know ANYTHING about tow trucks. I hate when people shift the blame to someone else, and I try not to, but I know I do occasionally. But that was just dumb.
I finally got home at around 10:30 and I went to bed around midnight or something, but after crying so much my eyes hurt so bad and I had a massive headache plus I had missed dinner due to the car mess. Because of that, I felt almost like I had a huge hangover this morning, but I went to class and all is well now.
My class was pretty good although the teacher was 15 minutes late, but whatever. We talked about the background of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey because that’s what the class is about, but I knew all of that stuff already. The only crappy thing is the books. One of the books costs about $60 and is back ordered, but we might have to buy it anyway. Then for The Odyssey and the Iliad we have to buy copies by a specific translator, so instead of borrowing the Iliad from the library for free, I had to go buy it for $11.
After all that, Frank and I ran errands and stuff. I found that my internet wasn’t working so I had to call and deal with that and I just figured out that it wasn’t the modem or the internet or anything – its the cable. So I get to do that tomorrow. AND I got to use my gas stove in my apartment YAY! I love gas stoves! Well, since we have to choose between tv or internet, I’d better get going.
