The Crapper

Eric and I bought a new toilet seat the other day. Ours broke-the screws fell out, one by one, until all were gone and we no longer had a useable seat. It was really just the cover, not the whole seat, but still. It was stripped, so we couldn't screw them back in. We had no idea how much it would cost, but it actually ended up being pretty cheap. We were going to bring our broken one so we'd be able to know what to get, and ended up forgetting it. Luckily we guessed right on the first try, mostly because we picked the cheapest one we could find and it looked pretty close. That's the most exciting thing I have to write about. I'm such an old married lady. If anyone has any hobbies that we could take up as a couple (that are cheap and that we could do indoors, since Minnesota is cold 90% of the time) let us know-we get bored easily and Netflix will only send us movies so quickly.

Mmm... Murdered by pirates, heart torn out and eaten, meet Victoria... I can't quite decide which sounds more fun...

Haircut!

I got a new haircut-it's the shortest it's been since 3rd grade, but much cuter! I really wanted something different, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I hope everyone else likes it too, but I don't really care because I do and that's good enough.

Those People

I am now one of those people. You know those people. You're sitting in class, in the middle of a discussion, and someone's phone goes off. Today, that was me. I was on the other side of the room, having moved and left my purse. What a dumb move. The one day I forget to turn my phone off! I was so embarrassed. I got up to go grab it so I wouldn't get another call and look dumb. Seriously, I felt like such an idiot. I never even get phone calls, and the one day I leave my phone off someone actually calls me. What ticks me off more is that it wasn't even a real person, it was the stupid RedCross. Lame.

I've always gotten so annoyed when people's phones have gone off in class before (it happens on a relatively regular basis it seems like), and now I go and join that group of annoying people. Lovely. On the flip side, I think now I will be forgiving of others when it happens to them.

E.T., phone home

Spring Break

...was 2 weeks ago, and I miss it. I had such a good spring break-I didn't have any homework, I only had to work a couple of days, and I got to sleep in a lot. It was really, really nice. Now of course I'm back at school and I have tons to do. And apparantly there are only 6 weeks of classes left, which of course stresses me out more. Between my classes I have about 5 papers to write and 3 take-home tests, one of which I will be getting tonight. Yay. On top of school, I am applying to graduate school at St. Thomas, and for a scholarship. That should all be done by the end of the week though, as I want to get it out as soon as I can. Fortunately, with my honors project done I have a lot more time to devote to my other classes, so, although it is a lot of work and a pain in the butt, I am keeping up pretty well. No senioritis for me-or rather, a very mild case. Really, I feel no different than usual-I don't want to do homework any less than normal!

We could stay up late, swap manly stories, and in the morning, I'm making waffles!
