Busy day...
Aug. 25th, 2003 04:15 pmWent to bed after 9am... woke up at 2... not too bad...
Drove around campus (classes started today- ICK students are back! I don't like it) nearly got hit twice (one was my fault, the other was not)
but I paid my student fees, went across campus to sign paperwork so my tuition is paid for, and then BACK across campus to make an appointment at the health center (I'm out of birth control after this week- talk about cutting it close!)
Took two hours. Bleh! I definitely like summers better. Less students. And you can actually park on campus (imagine that!) We have about five commuters to one parking space on campus- and the school charges $70 a semester for parking but doesn't think a parking garage is a good idea. GAH! I don't get it!
Came home and YAY! The Steve McDonald CD I ordered in July finally came today! Listening to it now. This man can do NO wrong in my eyes. I know all his songs sound alike(well, ok, he has fast ones and slow ones, but that's the only difference) But I listen to music first for lyrics(the curse of the writer in me) and second for tune. And I like both so much with him *sigh* I'm SO happy. This made my week! :-)
Oh my gods... "Fly" is my new favorite song. *sniffles* Damnit, why do I always get inspired when I don't have time to write?
I'm going to go try and nap a little in front of highlander. I'm soo hot and thirsty after running around campus all afternoon. Ick. I hate the heat. And the sun. Not a very good pagan to do I make. LOL! Thank goodness it's going to be fall soon...

It's just depressing to have the town busy again. I love this place because it's such a small, friendly town. At least, it is before all the students get back and get drunk and crap.
I love Tom & Huck- twas a very cute movie. But I'm a HUGE Mark Twain fan all around. A few years ago my family went to Hannibal, Missouri where he grew up. Got to go down into the caves he used to play in where he set the cave scenes in Tom Sawyer. And got to see the house he grew up in and pictures of the people he based characters off of. Was fantastic. Wouldn't it be incredible to be that kind of a writer? People a hundred years from now touring the house you grew up in? Too awesome.
As for the cold... yeah... you'll NEVER see me living in Florida, for example. And this sticky, humid heat is the WORST! Ick! I'd much rather a nice cold, snowy day *G*

Enjoy your movie! Can't say I'm a huge JTT fan as he's a little too young for me/my generation. But he is a cutie and does a great job in that movie :-) It's so sweet and timeless. I have to say that Mark Twain is really one of my favorite writers. Some of his essays are fantastic-he's so insightful. And a CT Yankee in King Arthur's Court has been one of my favorites since childhood (I'm a sucker for Arthurian legends and time travel) And Twain's haley's comet connection just absolutely fascinates me to no end. But I really love Tom and Huck (in their respective stories). I would love to write characters so well understood and imperfect but lovable.
