today was my first day back at work! unfortunately, mom and i are scheduled for the same hours, which means i have to get up when she does to go in with her. i was up at 4 this morning. but, when mom was scraping the ice off the car i called anna to wish her a happy birthday. it was a weird message...
everyone i saw was all excited to see me and asked me about college. i saw najib, damean, jon, jon [lol], syeda, janeen, jaclyn, and yuri. and i get to see jt tomorrow! yay! and will too, i think... maybe...
crap, i have to write a proposal for mr obrien. we need to come up with a good purpose behind the duct-tape thing for them to let us do it, something besides "wow, that's cool!" but so far the deepest thing we've managed to come up with is "the artist herself is on display, she is the art" metaphorical bullshit that isn't very good. honestly, i really can't think of anything else... not good, cuz i can tell obrien kinda does like the idea. we even scoped out a better place and tested the duct tape and everything!
the christmas tree is already filled with presents. i know i got a dvd and a bunch of cds, but that's the only specifics i can work out... yesterday dad and matt and i went shopping for mom. and we went to panera bread, and i got a DELICIOUS bread bowl. and a d'peach mode jones soda. god, i love those things. the juice and the soup bread joy.
hmm, yeah.
i was just sitting here, thinking about what i could do online, and i remembered i hadn't updated this in a while. so i decided to.
my final grades are in. 3 c's, 2 a's and a b. my gpa is 2.78, which isn't too bad. the only real surprise was the b in time. i really didn't think i could get higher than a c, somehow... not even sure how i did that.
oh, speaking of just sitting online... i've been amusing myself with the joys of sapayne. and, after reading the 2 current stories as far as they've been written, reading 'snowflakes and embers', and re-reading 'heroes and ghosts' and 'the lies we tell,' i started to re-read 'btl: from the ashes,' only i started from, like, the middle. and i was reading this bit about toshi's granddad [human] working to during the plague, and it hit me: 'if i lie here' is a total precursor to 'btl'!! like, 100 years before it, but still! riley is one of the alphas, and the contruction company ranvier really is toshi's g-pa and the inkie communes are there being all awesome. and i was like 'sarah, i love you so much for this.' she must really like that universe if there are technically 3 stories written in it. it's pretty sweet, learning how the i/s guys came into being and all that stuff. i was pretty giddy for a bit there when i figured it out. and i wouldn't have if i hadn't gone back and read 'from the ashes' like i'm doing.
so, yeah...
oh, and anna and jenny have this strange fascination with cuttlefish...
