in the books.

that's about it for artma 2006. except for all the stuff with money, etc. but, it's over for me.

yesterday was one of the longest and most exhausting days ever. we started at 9:30 trying to finish up various odds and ends before we were out of time. i got sent on quite a few errands that required driving across town. first i had to drive over to joan's to find some disks to get the computer systems up and running (didn't end up working anyway, but oh well). then i had to go over to the rental place to get the rest of the table skirts (they apparently can't count to four, but luckily i didn't have to go back). and then later on, i was recruited to drive out to the tech center to get the disks that would eventually get everything going. i had to go to this place called data 393, which made me feel like i was in a a mission impossible movie because this place had such an intense security system. it was kinda crazy. all i'll i could get out of joan about it is that they have a whole bunch of people's information stored there. i dunno. still fun though.

when i finally got back from that (and getting chipotle and jamba juice), i was sent to help cut 200 pounds of cheese. that was a blast. then i had to come back home to change into my nice clothes and rushed back to get there when i was supposed to be back. after a few slight setbacks, everything went alright.

we'll see how the final tally comes out once everything gets added up.

we finally got out of there at 11:15 or so. my feet were absolutely killing me and i had to change back into jeans and birks before we even left. i called ben, but didn't get an answer, and i was kinda relieved because then i was free to go to bed. so i brushed my teeth, put on my sweats, and read some hp before i fell asleep. that didn't last though. my phone started ringing, and before i even knew what was going on, i had answered it. and ben talked me into driving over to his apartment...at 12:30. we hung out and watched random bits of tv while we talked until 4:30. it was a lot of fun getting to see him again after having not talked to him in such a long time. and hopefully i'll make it over to pinehurst tomorrow while him and bob-o are doing inventory so i can hang out with them for a little bit before my flight leaves.

and now its 5pm. what's left for tonight?
at the very least
- editing my paper real quick before i email it to burk
- email duda to tell him i won't be in class tomorrow
- physics reading quiz (but, oops, i don't have my book here...should be interesting)
- mastering physics (should also be interesting)
- study some english lit (we'll see if i actually get around to it - i really need to though)

we'll see what happens.
