still awake, for some reason.

Today was a really fun day. I hope you all enjoy this post because it's taking a lot of effort to type with these new nails...

I woke up (late-ish) and went to my 8:30 Psychology class. We learned the typical child development-y things and watched videos of cute kids participating in experiments for 2 hours. After class, I came home and showered. Then Ruth, Laura and I went out to eat at China Cafe, where we received some really bizarre fortunes. After that, we found a nail salon (after a surprising amount of time and effort) and got mani/pedis. It was a very fun time and I really enjoyed spending the day with them.

From 5-9 I worked with Chelsea. Luckily, we didn't have to cover any other departments, but we did have some of the most annoying customers. Of course Pam and Patty came in at 8:55... Chelsea saw them coming and groaned rather loudly and we think they heard. It was pretty hilarious. Other than sweeping, cleaning the sale room, calling on way too many shoes, and telling customers we didn't have that Ugg in their size, it was a pretty good night.

After work, I went over to mom's house and we "watched project runway". In reality, we just sat around, talking about the usual: boys, fashion, vacation, and summer. I wish I could have it all. She was falling asleep on the couch and although she denied it, she was tired, so I left. As I was pulling out of my parking spot, Michelle texted me and asked me to come over. I haven't seen her hardly at all this break, so I went over there for about an hour and a half. Laura and Ruth were there too and we sat in Michelle's cold basement and just talked. My toes were frozen and I remembered I had class in the morning (I hate that break is over) so I went home.

Now that I'm here I'm really sad that Thursday is over and tomorrow is Friday. I would be happy, but I pretty much despise my schedule for tomorrow. Once it's 3:45, it will be a great day. but everyone please pray for me from 9:30-3:45*, as I have a meeting with my advisor/professor, homework, and 3 classes. After all the work comes the fun; Laura and I are going to get yummy burgers at some bar that she recommends in downtown Rock Island, and then we are going to get everyone together for the last night we will all be in the QC. Should be a good time!!

I hope that Dr. Scott (Scandinavian dept. head) recovers quickly and can teach again next term- he had a stomach ulcer burst or something and almost didn't make it earlier this week. Now he's in the ICU and they don't really know what the outcome will be. I hope he's o.k!

I will try and write sometime tomorrow, probably a little earlier than my usual midnight time :)

*this is not 100% accurate, as I may get some of the work I would be doing in between classes done early, in which case I am going to lunch with Michelle-y Beans.
