a rainy day

current song: the strokes - is this it

Today, so far, has been a collection of small disasters and miracles.

I woke up and took a shower and miraculously was NOT late to class! Hooray! I did not, however, get any breakfast.

I strolled off to comp sci recitation, met a nice guy named Steve, who does not know very much about programming, so I helped him a bunch. Since the assignments now require you to work in a group. The assignment was really fun, too. We're working with graphics and since I figured out how to get a random number yesterday with Cam, I was making squares of various colors and sizes randomly placed about the screen. Quite entertaining.

However, I spent an extra hour in comp sci precisely because it was so fun. And looked up at the clock and saw that I was already 5 minutes late to Japanese.

Additionally, at some point during comp sci I realized that I had left my purse (including my keys) in the dorm. And it was raining outside.

So I waited, in the rain, for someone with keys to come up to the dorm so I could get in, get my stuff, and take 10 minutes to walk to Hellems.

Ah, well. It was a remarkably short Japanese class.

But during Japanese I was split into a group with Brian and ... dang. Don't know how to spell his last name. David's his first name, anyway, but I know him as hool-san (or however it's spelled). Since we go by last names in japanese class. Anyway, I was talking to him as class ended, and I ended up walking with him to his little apartment in family housing. Apparently he's living there with his mom and little brother. Sugoi desu ne. And two little kitties. I mean, two little fishies. Since kitties aren't allowed. Uh... yeah. But, he's really nice. I'm glad I got to talk to him. He's a freshie too! One of the few freshmen in that class, it seems.

So that was really fun. But I realized that I had, again, forgotten my purse, this time in Japanese class. I left at 2:45, planning on walking back to Hellems and then to my calc 3 lab. However, since family housing is near the edge of campus in a section I'd never been to before, I got lost. It took me 30 minutes to find Hellems again. And then, since I hadn't eaten anything and my feet were dying (I made the terrible mistake of wearing sandals on a rainy day), I walked into the UMC, and saw the domino's, and thought... Mmmmmm. So I got domino's and ate and walked back to my dorm and by the time I got there it was 4:45, so I wouldn't have made it to class anyway. Since the class is technically over by 4:50 and most people end up leaving 20 minutes early anyway. Ah, well. I still can miss the class one more time without failing.

And then I got the email telling me that I need to attend a scholarship dinner on friday, and that jeans are not allowed. So now I have to go buy a skirt. Heh.
