My roommate of the past ten months just moved out. A few observations:
I need to sleep a little more.
I just got back from the best Wal*Mart run ever. The original plan had been that Alex and I would run out, grab something fast, and go back to our respective residences. Well, McDonald's was the only thing open, but they were doing a "system change-over" or something, so they couldn't give us any food. I decided that Christiansburg must have something open, so we went.
Not much was open in Christiansburg. Walgreen's was open, so we stopped there on Alex's suggestion. At Walgreen's we decided that cereal was a good idea, but buying cereal at a drugstore is silly. We went over to Wal*Mart next door and bought cereal, and I got milk, and two bowls and some spoons. On the way home I ate a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (while I was driving). It was delicious. This all occurred between 3:30 and 4:30 in the morning.
The moral of the story? It's hard to drink milk out of a cereal bowl while you're driving.
My first year at Tech is winding down. My first finals are tomorrow, and continue through Tuesday or so. With regards to everything that has happened, ever professor I have has said that grades will not be lower than they were on 13 April regardless of how we do on the final. Grades can only improve. That's pretty good, because honestly it has been kinda hard for me to get back into the swing of things.
I'll be in Blacksburg for most of the summer. Anyone who wants to visit is welcome to the more-than-ample floorspace. My lease runs through the end of August and has been paid up to that point, so pretty much I'm just sitting around until fall, working enough to keep me fed. Pretty much everything is fluid. Yup. Super exciting.
Psst! I have a secret. I just told you what it was, but you weren't looking hard enough. It's not so very hard to find. Also, one more thing which actually isn't secret, but I haven't gotten around to mentioning. Steve and I broke up a few weeks back. I'm OK. He's OK. We still talk. If you're my family, he'll probably still pop in for a visit. I'll pop in to visit some of his family still too.
