Do you agree that we are lost here? Well, among the lost, we shall survive…
I can see that this is going to become a ritual… I’m in the coffee place on campus, biding my time until writing class; the class in which I have 3 stories to turn in today. The I-pod is on shuffle and I have a big, big cup of coffee by my side.
Totoro is settling just fine. I really didn’t think we were going to see him for a couple days as we figured he’d probably have to get acclimated to the new digs but he’s the most dog-like cat I’ve ever met in my entire life. He already knows his name and comes when he’s called. He growls at people outside and is totally fine around strangers (to him at least). He loves to cuddle .P>
I had to get him registered with the county yesterday. These are the things I don’t understand about bureaucracy sometimes…. I had to go to the library to get him registered, which I thought was weird but awfully convenient since the library is literally like 2 blocks away from me. Maybe that was just supposed to be convenient? I can’t imagine that would be so since the government is so rarely convenient. There always seems to be some long, complicated process to do anything. But, I digress, my cat is now a Baltimore County Individual according to his registration. I hope the ‘individual’ part was not merely to be P.C. because if so, that’s sad. When did it become politically incorrect to call an animal an animal? Frankly, it would not really surprise me all that much if that were the reason that Totoro is now an individual instead of a pet.
Ryan came over yesterday and spent the night because his school got off for some reason (lucky). Totoro sat on top of him and watched sports while I cooked dinner.We had really good chicken tomato basil pasta. Ryan had brought up a whole bunch of different kinds of peppers from his dad’s garden so I sauteed some bell peppers and threw those in there too. We had key lime bars for dessert.
Classes have been okay so far today. I’m trying to stay awake. I didn’t have my usual supply of caffeine this morning. I bought two polo shirts because Aeropostale came to school and somehow I managed to bleach parts of my favorite polo shirt last week and those things are the best for layering. I hate when laundry doesn’t work out the way that it is supposed to
. I’m quite ready for the week to be over already. I have kind of a busy weekend. My parents are coming to bring the frickin sweet chair that we got for the living room and a lamp so that room isn’t quite so dark. I have to work the concession stand for the football game on Saturday. Sunday, I have to go to this Leadership Training (more importantly and more likely, a networking opportunity) down at Hopkins.
I’m getting incredibly cold. I hate air conditioning. I’m wearing my soccer jacket and long pants and I’m still pretty cold. We don’t use the air conditioning at home so I always just have my window open and my fan on. Frankly, that’s how I prefer it. As long as I’m not trying to talk to people in the car, I’d rather have my window open there too; window down and music up. There’s nothing like driving on the highway without traffic with the windows down
