Randomness..

Well lets see....today I got the flu shot, which I have never gotten a flu shot before but coach was insisting that everyone got one. I got one so that I didn't have to deal with coach. Ya, my arm is a little bit sore, but oh well.

My car engine is offically dead. I found that out last week. Alton thought that it might have just been the oil pump. He put a new one in and the engine still didn't work so he is putting in a used engine that has like 18,000miles on it. It's going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than having Bob Cauldwell fix it. The only thing that sucks is that my rents are not letting me pick it up on friday and I have a ton of stuff that I need to get out of the car, and the car is a mess in general. Oh well...I told my dad that the car is a mess and that they will have to deal with it. My rents will pick me up for thanksgiving and I will get the stuff out of the car then.

As far as work goes....this saturday is going to be my last day. I feel bad because I didn't really put in my two week notice, but I didn't know this car things was going to happen. I can't keep depending on Micki to get to work on the weekends because she works too. Although, I will be getting kind of of job at younkin. When someone needs to call off I am going to be able to be a sub and they pay more than express. I just have to be very careful how I spend my money now since I won't be having a source of income besides what my rents give me. When I do get my car back though, I will work at express again since I will have a way of transportation. Now, if express was like in the shops on lane ave. then I wouldn't have a problem because I could bike to there. For me it will be hard to find a job because I can really only work on the weekends because I have school all of the other days. Rather I have classes back to back on Monday and Wednesday, no class on tuesday or friday, and only one class on thrusday, but my tues. and fridays are spent studying for school at younkin. In theory I could work thoes days, but if I did that then I would not have time to get any homework done.

I also sent Kristin her package on friday and I put something else in there that she has been wanting.

This past weekend I was at Penn State for fencing. I didn't do all that well. There were three rounds of pools and then De's and I didn't make it out of the first round of pools. Then they had a consilation round for the losers. There were a total of 70 woman epee'est and they cut 30 after the first round and I was 46...go figure. It is my fault that I didn't make it because I didn't actually start to fence good until the last two bouts of my pool and that was a bit toooooo late. There was this one girl however....that I was fencing. I was winning 3-0 and she ended up coming back and making it 3-3. There was 7 seconds left and I was going to wait it out to go into the extra minute. Well that guy that was keeping track of time, I don't think he was really paying attention to when time had elapsed because he hesitated as to when she scored. I know that the 7 seconds was up before she hit, but whatever. So then I fenced in the consilation round. I did pretty good that round, I won my first two De's and then lost my 3rd one. The stupid thing was, was that she was a really easy fencer and I lost. The other part is that she was from Drew University and my ex-boyfriend paul was there and he is her teammate. He really wasn't cheering for either of us because of the situation. So while I was fencing her, she completly steped on the top of my foot(I think she did it on purpose). I tried to do a retreat and I pulled my ankle. Now I have a small ankle sprain, but I should get better soon. Shura made it through all three round and to De's. She lost her De to get into the top 8, Elyse didn't make it out of the 2nd round of pools.

Since I had to work on sunday, I drove back with eileen and shrua. Eileen had a jazz concert to be in and shura had to work too....So after we were all done we drove back. Eileen drove for about 2hours and then I drove the rest of the way. I really didn't mind driving expecpt for the fact that eileen's car doesn't have cruse control and I have a lead foot. Just put two and two together. I also found out that it was a good thing that I left when I did because someone slashed the tires on The Ohio State University bus....I'm guessing that it was someone from Penn state because they hate us. So on suday I went to eileen's jazz concert and then I went to work. We were doing floorset yet again so I didn't get out of there until like midnight.

I think I have rambled on enough...that is if you even got this far, so until next time....ttyl
