very strange...i made a pile of changes to my template, and although the template code shows up as edited, none of the changes are appearing on the page. in other words, this page is currently creating itself off of coding that no longer exists. sometimes blogger is infuriating. gah. i fully expect there to be more issues in the days ahead, since they are currently in the process of moving all of their blogs over to the new editing format. which is cool and all, but still...its a little sad when you know the system is going to bomb out on you before anything really even happens.

monetary stress of the week: my jeep has been delivered to the dealer, which is all well and good except for the fact that we told them 4 weeks ago that we wouldn't have the money for the down payment until june 12th. we were told "oh, that's fine, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for the car to be manufactured and shipped anyway." well, it didn't take 6 to 8 weeks, it took four. and now they're saying that we only have 5 days after being notified of delivery to pick up the car, or we forfeit our $500 deposit (note: june 12th is more than 5 days away). so...not really sure what's going on at the moment. send me happy thoughts.

nice thing of the week: even though i didn't have time today to get a temporary parking permit for my parents' car (which i drove to school today) and there was already a parking cop sitting in the lot when i parked the car, i somehow managed to *not* get a parking ticket. hallelujah.

long time, no post, i know. to catch up: last saturday was graduation. two days later, i started my calculus class (even though i participated in the ceremony, i'm not *technically* done until i finish calc). calc meets MTWTh 9-11 am for six weeks. that makes one wek down, and only 5 more to go (oh, you bet i'm counting). i had my first exam this morning, and i think i did pretty well.

**I GOT A C IN PHYSICS**

that deserved its own line, i think. this is the first time i have ever been positively thrilled with a C. i was really, really frightened that i might not pass that class.

and in household news: last friday, mike and i noticed that our cabinets were falling off the wall in the kitchen. i guess that's what happens when they aren't screwed into studs. sheesh. so anyway, when i got back from calc class monday morning, they had come , emptied the wrong cabinet and taken it off the wall. no note, no phone message, just dishes and glasses all over the counter and a missing cabinet. mind you, the set that was visibly loosened from the wall was still intact. then today (thursday), two of the building employees show up with my cabinets to reattach them. where did they take them for four days? i don't know. what did they do with them? i don't know. they weren't broken. so anyway, they're downstairs now re-attaching that set of cabinets to the wall, and they said that today, they're going to take the set that's falling off the wall and come back tomorrow to reattach it. i don't understand why they keep taking the cabinets (which are not broken, merely badly attached to the wall), but whatever. as long as they stay on the wall this time, i really don't care. now, i must go make sure that none of the cats are getting underfoot in the kitchen...they're nosey little buggers...

happy dance! happy dance! i am *done* with school work for this semester!! i had planned on spending the next two days finishing my GPS project, but i showed my prof what i had so far today, and he said that it was good, and anything else that needed to be done we could discuss when i meet with him on wednesday to turn the project in. so I AM DONE! now, if only i could shake this nasty cold i've had for the past week...it seems to have graduated to a full-blown sinus infection. gah. at least i finished my project today, so now i'll have time tomorrow to go the the walk-in and score some antibiotics. i don't want to be a big ol' snot head for graduation :P

oh, and check this out. especially the IM "screen shots." very amusing.

i am officially *ahem* a Team Leader.

i went into work today to find a little pin with the words "Team Leader", as well as a $25 gift certificate to the Willimantic Pub and Brewery in my mailbox. apparently, at monday's staff meeting (i wasn't there b/c i had a class) i was chosen as the evening technician team leader for the month based on how hard i've been working lately, most specifically this past saturday, which was busy as all heck. so that was pretty neat :)

other than that, worked on my GPS project today, and now i'm going to go study for my physics final. what fun. i have that exam saturday afternoon, then lab animal on sunday morning. my GPS project is due wednesday, i take me GRE's on thursday, i graduate on saturday, and i start my calculus class on monday. busy week, eh?
