It Never Rains...

I have had a truly wonderful day today. Absolutely marvelous. Let's start with class this morning, shall we?

I got into the classroom, and realized that everyone else seemed to be giving a homework assignment the final once-over before turning it in. After I ask one of the girls what's going on, I realize that yes, I really should have checked the due date on this last homework assignment last night. And so that will be a day late.

Upon walking out of my History class, I was accosted by Scholl and Wheeler, and informed that all the apartment-dwellers are being suddenly and tragically moved out for two weeks while they clean the carpets. I got back to my room and verified that this was indeed true.

Extremely true. So true, in fact, that there was an email sitting in my inbox informing me of this. So, we are being moved into ELH from August 1st through the 18th. And yes, they are just now telling us this. Just now. Now that we've had it in our heads for months that we could get all moved in for the long 9-month stay until I graduate. But no, apparently now is the best time to tell us, instead of when we originally moved in, so we could have done things differently to ease moving back out and in again.

Nope. That would have just made too much sense.

About 2 minutes after I read that email, I got a call from Heather and Anna asking if I could please, please, come pick them up. They had had to run yet another vehicle into the shop, and I was the only one around who could pick them up. An hour and a half later, I got there. I was only slightly lost in North Longview. Due to slightly misguided directions.

But anyway.

So then I proceeded to have no lunch and go to work. And now I'm back and have determined that I should eat something sometime today.

Oh, and lest I forget, the car appears to be drinking oil to the tune of 500 miles per quart.

I love Mondays.
