Day 732: Wandering Behind
Mar. 8th, 2009 11:41 pmSo I am crazy behind on life and slowly freaking out about it, but it's also spring break and so I'm over the moon. Yes, I am crazy. Yes, I have emotional splits. It means I am alive.
Thursday was an all right day, and by "all right" I mean I scrambled like a maniac to get homework done. I managed to read for BA just fun, and I didn't have to read for ST because we had a make-up class at lunch. Afterward I went nuts trying to get stuff done for trial practice in the evening. I was supposed to write a closing argument for our murder case, but it all kinds of didn't happen. I had a direct for a couple of expert witnesses up and going, which was good, because it helped me dodge the bullet. I volunteered to give a direct on a forensic pathologist and that saved me from having to give a closing I hadn't given.
Friday was pretty awesome. T&E was, well, T&E, and as always, even though I had a good start on the x-over present for Min, it went sour. Again. I will salvage something if it bloody well kills me, which it may well do. There was no ST, as we'd made up for it in advance the day before, so I set about getting paperwork prepped so I can get a grant and get paid for the work I do this summer (as I'll be working for a non-profit organization that really has no way to pay me). Sieberson was the man, as he recognized that he was the only thing standing between us and Spring Break, so he let us go a little early. I went to the airport and picked up Chani. We hung around shooting the breeze, and then we took off to the Relief Society birthday party at Kara's place with Angela as part of the gang. There was good food, fun conversation (we had all the man talk we needed, because it's talk we can't have when the menfolk are around), and forking, because it's what we sisters do. We left the forks in a heart pattern with a 'we love you' sign pegged in the middle, but then it rained and so we think the sign was probably drowned and the occupant of the house we forked probably thinks some nutty fork-cult obsessed with hearts is after him.
Saturday was a pretty lazy day. I worked on my application some more, and then Chanita and I went shopping, as I had coupons. We got stuff from the bookstore, I finally picked up Rock Band 2 with the birthday money I'd been hoarding, and we got some art/craft stuff (I am teaching Chanita how to crochet). After shopping, we chilled some more and then went to play D&D. It's been a while, but I had a rockin' good time, as always. Tomie is a seriously cool DM. He made Chanita feel like part of the gang - she totally fit right in with her witty, whimsical self - and he gave me some super awesome giant dice because he'd seen me eyeing some giant dice in the store. Tomie helps me feel human again after a nutty week - or several months. Hopefully I'll be able to go back again. Kile the random kid from church also showed up for a bit, and he was kind enough to lend me some of his Spider Man Noir comics, which were pretty darn cool. After D&D Chani and I went to Angela's place. We watched a 48 Hours mystery about the murder of a guy she knew (the guy's murderer came to hang out with Angela and the gang the day she'd committed the murder) and also had dutch apple pie and watched The Forbidden Kingdom because kung fu is awesome.
Today was a cool day. We went to church (Kile was there so I gave him back his comics) and I made it through my talk. Almost didn't, though, because I hadn't realized this weekend was daylight savings, and so even though my phone went off when I'd set it to and my laptop was the right time, neither my watch nor my alarm clock were the right time, and we almost missed sacrament meeting altogether. After church Chani chilled with her laptop and I wrote some letters and then we ate food and geeked out on CM all night. I have converted Chani to the cult of Spencer Reid. It is awesome.
Tomorrow I need to get some chores done and some schoolwork done and need to get in my grant paperwork so I can get paid this summer, but we will hopefully also be hanging out with Amber to watch some House.
Hopefully the weather will warm up for me and Spring Break.
