class

Busy day

I managed to get everything I wanted to get done today done, somehow. I got all the pictures from all the apartments I looked at uploaded and showed them to Sara. Oh yeah, I don’t know why those snapfish links are working in that post below…they were working when I put them up there. Dumb snapfish.

Anyway, I went to Kohls and bought two pairs of kahkis and a work shirt. They had one of those weekends where you could get 15% off if you had a charge card.
Suggested retail price: $99.99
How much I paid at Kohls: $47.57
Savings of: $52.42.
How can you not love Kohls?

I was in and out of Kohls so fast that I decided to stop at Target and get some cat food and litter. Then I came home and started my MASSIVE amount of laundry. At least I don’t have to wear a towel to work tomorrow.

While that was going I worked on my take home final for my class. I just finished that and since class is canceled next week, I’m done with class for the summer! Rock on.

Too bad tomorrow is Monday already. I’ve got to call all of those apartment places…we need to move in in 6 weeks! I need to sign a lease soon. Right now the frontrunner is this little place in Wayne, PA. It’s in a small building with 3 other apartments. It’s kind of small but it’s super super cheap (like $875 a month!!). The only weird thing about it is that there are washer dryer hookups for each apartment in the basement. So there is like a laundry room…except everyone owns their own. If we lived there we’d have to buy a washer dryer, but considering it’s about $225 per month less than most of the places I’ve been looking at, it’s well worth it.

Oh in other news, Sara found a listing for a job in Camden, NJ. It’s a long shot so I’m trying desparately not to get my hopes up. It would be a lot closer than anything else she’s seen so far, but KOP and Camden are on exact opposite corners of the city so there’s no good place where we could live that wasn’t inside city borders. Unfortunately, it looks like the people are looking for someone with experience, so Sara wouldn’t exactly fit the bill.

Well, time to get to bed.

Another weekend comes to a close…

Way too short, as usual.

Finally finished Wolves of the Calla. It was magnificent! I wish I could read the next one, except it will probably be 3 years before it comes out. 😦

Spent like 8 hours this weekend working on my stupid paper for class. Here’s the thing, it’s only the second week of class. If this slave driving wench in my group keeps this up, we’ll have the whole paper done in week 3! And I think she’ll be pissed that it took us so long! She already sent her 1/3 of the paper out for approval. Keep in mind we have 5 more weeks to do this. She wants us to get it done early though because she just wants to rewrite it. Grrr.

I couldn’t help out with her problems installing her scanner tonight, which I feel bad about. It’s just so hard to help someone with something when you can’t see what they’re doing and they’re trying to describe it to you and you’re not even at your computer as a frame of reference. She was upset at me for not being able to help, but I know it was mostly just because she was frustrated, as I would have been. Oh well, I’m used to that. People wouldn’t have to get upset at me for not knowing these things if they didn’t insist on calling me in the first place!! Just because I’m a programmer doesn’t mean I know shit about how Windows XP handles device drivers. I have my own problems with stupid ZoneAlarm that I still can’t get working. I just gave up on it. Boo ZoneAlarm! >:o

Funny conversation from tonight:

John: “Oh my God, are you crying over Sopranos?”
Melissa: “It was sad! He was crying at the end!”
John: “Jesus Christ, I hope I never grow a vagina.”
Melissa: “Me too babe.”

I’m very sad that they’re moving to South Jersey in a week and a half! ::pout::
