Peter gave himself up for lost, and shed big tears.

The semester is half over! Which is weird, because didn't school just start like, two weeks ago? It still feels like it. But I had two papers and a midterm this past week, all successfully finished (or so I hope- haven't gotten the grades back yet). It was a good week, mostly because I recovered from the cold I had the week before. It was really bad the Friday before last, and I thought it might be the flu. Ended up leaving school early because everything was aching so badly even sitting in a desk hurt, and I was getting exhausted just walking across campus. It wasn't the flu though, and this past week I felt much better than I expected. Hopefully that filled my sickness quota for the season.

I went to a flea market this morning, and it was the most lucrative shopping trip I've had in ages. I bought three pairs of shoes (which is more than I've bought in the past year). Two pairs of flats/slip ons that I love and will probably wear everyday, and a pair of heels with pink and black ribbons all over them. They're kiiinda like stripper shoes, and I really don't know where I'd wear them, but they're fun. I guess if you're going to spend money on shoes of questionable taste the flea market is the place to do it, when you're only spending two dollars on them. I also got some books for Maureen and the baby. I was so excited to find a bunch of books I had as a kid, so I got her The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Are You My Mother, and Oh The Things You Can Think. I'm pretty sure the Peter Rabbit book is one of the foundations of my love of bunny rabbits. I still haven't seen Maureen since she had the baby and need to call to see when I can stop by.

The finance office at school is raining on my parade. Seems I will have to get a loan to manage tuition this semester. Their records kept saying I was getting some government assistance, even though I got notice weeks ago that that assistance was canceled, so I really had no idea what was going on until this week. So, boo on that. I hate dealing with financial aid stuff.

Aaand, that's all that's been interesting lately. Off to finish some stuff for school tomorrow.

buying crazy high heels without any idea of when or with what to wear them is the best. i do that all the time.
and thumbs down on those financial aid people. they might have degrees in accounting, but otherwise they're just a bunch of clueless pricks.

I should wear the heels to go give the financial aid people a piece of my mind. They'll make me tall and intimidating! Or make me look like a prostitute, but either way the results could be interesting.
