getting closer.

four days to go. i think (no, i hope) they will go by relatively quickly.
tomorrow i'm babysitting one of our really close family friends at noon. its right in the middle of the day which prevents me from going up to a-basin in the morning, but oh well. at least it gives me something to do. i'll start reading tomorrow, i think. thursday i'll go up to a-basin by myself, or i'll go to copper with brian and jill (if they decide to go). friday, dad and i are going to a-basin. that should be fun. saturday, i don't really want to snowboard, but i guess it wouldn't be that bad. and then saturday night, i get to go home...well, to omaha. home, in a sense. please let these days go quickly.
i'm planning on buying john's apple from him for $650. an amazing deal since he got it less than a year ago for $2200. it probably isn't a very wise decision, but it seems like too good of a deal to pass up and i foresee it being much like my ipod...not necessary, but something i will use a lot. i need to call my grandpa and see if he'll help me out with it, but that seems like a scary conversation to have. i'll do it later this afternoon, perhaps. i'm not sure if i'll get to take it back to school with me on saturday since john's new computer may or may not get to him by then and he may have things he needs to do with both of them. i would like to take it back, but if that doesn't work, he can ship it to me.
in a few minutes, i'm leaving to go to my mom's office to pick up the form for locks of love and to get a check for the incredibly over-priced salon we go to. ten inches...that's a lot. and i'm a little more uneasy because vicki, the woman who always does my hair is booked until next tuesday, so i have an appointment with someone i don't know. i'm scared. i think it has the possibility of looking decent or absolutely horrible. but when i think about it, it doesn't matter because its a really good cause and it will grow back eventually.
i think i may be starting to get sick. it is something i'm ok with since i would rather be sick here than in omaha, but i'm sneezing all the time and that's kind of a pain.
not much on the agenda for today aside from the haircut. my mom and i are going to do my taxes when she gets back from teaching class tonight. exciting.
i can't wait to get back to omaha...back to my favorite people in the world.
and now i'm off to lose some hair.
