Well what do you know...I have a white car!
I just spent the past hour and half (at least) washing my car. Boy, was it filthy! And the somewhat sad news? It's not entirely clean right now. There are still some light dirt on it. My hands couldn't take any more sponge squeezing so I let it go. But it certainitly is quite an improvement.

So now I think I'm going to lather on some sunscreen and sit out by the pool for a bit. Get some of that boring ass Sociology reading done. I only have 3 chapters of that to read by Friday and 3 chapters of Psychology to read by August 4th with an additional 2 chapters that I missed from the last midterm before the final. *sigh* Why o why must my sociology professor be a book tester?

Note the time
And I'm not tired yet. Odd. so if I was to set my alarm, that would be for 8 hours from now...which would be about 11am.

And if I was to go to sleep now I'd probably *still* wake up around 7.

Randy wanted to mentioned in here so he could feel special. Feel special yet?

Little things
The last time I went home, I found a chineese jump rope in my room. I decided to do some string figures with it. I found that I could only remember one, cup and saucer. There used to be 2 I could do off the top of my head: that one and witch's broom. I tried for like half an hour to get witch's broom but I just couldn't get it. I knew I had a book on doing string figures (it was a phase, ok?) but I either donated it or packed it away in a box. Anyway, I didn't want to try to look. (tangent: which reminds me, I should look into a storage space rent place for all of those boxes)

Somehow I got reminded tonight of that little frustration. I did some research online. While I did find it, it wasn't the way I learned. I couldn't find it anywhere. I then found some homeless shoe strings in my closet and practiced on those. I finally managed to get my beloved witch's broom the way I remembered it. I also remembered owl's eyes.

It's the little things that make a person so happy.

...
This morning I accidently kinda cut myself (more like a scrape, but the skin is now red and slightly raised)

with my nail.

Guess I should be more careful getting out of bed.

Car things
Dropped my car off at the mechanic today to be fixed tomorrow. So here's a list of things I want to do once I get it back:
-go get gas
-go get the car washed. How does a car in a covered spot get so dirty?
-go to the Dollar Tree and get a bucket for the mop (possibly a new mop with it) and another glass container to burn my wickless candle in to get wax and make a wickful candle.
-go to Sears and buy a cheap vaccum. Still not sure where exactly I'm going to keep it, but it would be nice to have. Besides, the ones at Valencia are unreliable in the sense that you can't gurantee that you'll be able to check out a vaccum and they don't get everything off of the carpets (ie, my hair).
-go to the drive in and see T3. Hopefully it will still be playing Friday night because that's when I want to go.
-go to the bank and get some quarters. I did laundry this weekend which has nearly wipped me out.
-go to Staples and get some hanging folders and another filing box.
-go to a place that sells white boards with shelves. I want for the apartment. I suppose I should just bring the one from home, except that one has a metal frame. And if you could see the wall it was leaning against, you would see why I'm hesistating to bring it.


Hmmm, I think that's pretty much it on the to do list. It will be nice to not have to depend on other people for some rides.

Excuses
I've been making a lot of excuses to not do things.
To not do my reading homework, I've:
1) cleaned my room sans vaccuming (plan on buying one once I have my car back to haul it back in)
2) cleaned the kitchen
3) took out the recycling
4) done sit-ups
5) done laundry
6) written a letter to my grandma
7) read some my mystery book because it's more interesting
8) made boring blog posts that only one person will read

Granted, those weren't all on the same day but more like over the course of the past 5 days.

I've also made excuses for other things but I don't feel like talking about them right now.

Why must my Sociology teacher be a book tester? Psychology I think I can get away with not reading. Although I should. Bah. Anyway, my plan is to get some reading done while I'm exercising. Now I just need to stop making excuses for not going to the gym.

*random thought time* How is it my iPod says it is fully charged but then when I unplug it and then plug it back in, it starts to charge again?*/random thought time*

I'm observant, really
I had a note on my door yesterday saying that Valencia crew were going to be entering the apartment today to do work to prepare for my new roommate moving in soon.

So I came home around 4 today and looked around for improvements/changes. I only saw three things: (1) the chairs were put back in their place (not my customized for comfort way), (2) the microwave was blinking which means it got unplugged for something but I couldn't tell what, and (3) room A was locked (damn them for that, they've now cut off some of my air circulation!). [hmmm, sirens...]

As I was bolting the door for the night, I noticed what was probably the only improvement: a peep hole. Good to have. Now if we only had a doorbell...

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention this in my last post.

I heard a lot of noise going on outside my apartment. So went into the empty room and took a look outside. It looked like a whole bunch of guys cleaning out 160. Then I hear this
[Guy1] Hey man! I thought you were locked up?
[Guy2] Naw, I just got out.

Whereupon I ran downstairs and made sure my door was bolted.

Positive Reinforcement
Tsk tsk Psychology! I was bad and you rewarded me by giving me a B+ on my exam! (which would have been an A- had I gone with my first instincts on one question, grr..., but I'm not bitter...not at all...). Now to start studying for Jzz final. I have a chance, so I want to take it...yet I'm really not in the mood for studying. I should just go to some computer lab tomorrow after this meeting with this Carol woman for extra credit in Sociology and write my Jazz outline.
