Round two!

Ha-HA. 'Bout a week and a half later and I'm already back. Not even halfway through the month. This means that any updates between now and July will be above my minimum.

As Craig Ferguson would say, "take that, people!"

Not much going on lately. On Tuesday I had to get up at five in the morning so that Mom could drive me to Rowan for orientation at nine in the morning - Rowan is a three-and-a-half hour drive from where I live, and I managed to sleep for about three hours of that time, so at least I wasn't tired. Orientation wasn't that impressive, honestly - the staff and faculty speakers they had all sucked; just reading off of PowerPoint presentation bullet points on the giant screen behind them, which was light-blinded thanks to the windows in the ceiling of the basketball court that it was held in. But they did have really good free danishes, which I took way too many of. And I got my class schedule all figured out, which is good. The one thing that WAS interesting is that I found out that Rowan has pools. Two pools. Pooooools.

I think I know where I'll be spending most of my downtime at that school.

So I've got an eight-hour shift at Shop Rite starting at quarter of two. I didn't tell this story yet, did I? When I went back to work, I told the guy who hired me that I'd like to work twenty-hour weeks. I put down on the application I filled out that I'd like to work twenty-hour weeks. Well, guess what? Nobody bothered to inform the people in charge of formulating the weekly schedule of this little piece of information. So this week, I'm set up for thirty-three hours. I worked Sunday, as always, and Monday. Then I'm working today, and Friday and Saturday as well, and these last three days are all crazy-long shifts. On the plus side, I'll get more and longer breaks, and since they screwed up, they told me I'd be first on the list if anybody's getting off early. And starting this Sunday, my schedule will be twenty hours per week, like I wanted. Ah well. One day at a time. I'll live. I've got stuff to do, too - I took part of a used roll of paid stickers, and I'm sketching a landscape onto the strip of paper. Just a neurotic little form of entertainment.

Also, I went to the doctor this morning for my first checkup in a gazillion years. Found out that yes, I do still have issues with needles. But I got some blood drawn, and I got three vaccinations, including one for chicken pox, which I still haven't had. Ever. Less disease is good, I guess. Only problem (which they didn't really look into, since I was pretty much there just for the vaccinations) is that it seems to me that my vision in my left eye is ever-so-slightly blurry. I can still read everything with it that I can with my right eye, but not nearly as well. Maybe that's just today, though. Maybe there's something in it. I hope so, anyway. Although it would give me an excuse to wear a monocle, which would be awesome.

Only other thing is that I went to see Augusta for a few hours yesterday because she's down with mono and feeling crummy. She says she felt better afterwards, and at the very least, she was certainly happier, so that's good. I like being able to do something, even if it's really only moral support. So we had fun. Played video games, sat around, et cetera. And I found out that in Soul Calibur II, Raphael DOES have one weakness: Spawn. I was sad, but happy at the same time. Now I have a new obstacle to surmount. To training!
