A Murder of Crows

In continuing with a Friday the 13th tradition, I had a small stroke of good luck: my German class was cancelled. Holian said last semester that he wouldn't be teaching and they would find a replacement. It looks like they couldn't. Don't get me wrong, I want to learn the language and will still study German at my own pace. However, it's a huge weight off my shoulders. Last semester I slipped some because I kept running out for time to review the vocab and Holian punished me dearly for it. I love learning, but his style of "if you screw up, you'll regret it" teaching doesn't sit well with me.

Maybe I should start with a more coherent timeline. Thursday I woke up at the ass crack of dawn for no reason and waited a couple of hours before I could call Ami at 7:30. I went over there to give her a wig-stand and collect the DVDs she wanted to send Eiji. After having a wonderful chat and helped moving some of her stuff I saw her off a little before 11AM - blowing a "Kon! Kon!" for good luck. ^.^ I hope Iowa is being good to her. She doesn't deserve to feel bad about wanting an education. There are some people in this world that can't (or shouldn't) get an education, but our Ami is not one of those people. The rest of my Thursday wasn't very eventful. I actually spent a good chunk of the day sleeping on and off since I woke so early. Still, I did get some packing done and mailed out Eiji's package.

On Friday, I also woke early, but around 9AM. I was late picking up Luna, but it was for the good of all humanity with noses. I picked her up around 10:30 and drove us to St. Joe with any cop incidents. Yeah! I've never gotten a ticket on the highway, but I'm deathly afraid I will. *knocks on wood* The wind was blowing so hard that it looked like I was a drunk driver. I thought Luna was going to take off flying when we were walking to the business office. It doesn't help that our school is on top of a huge ass hill either. Oops.

I had received a notice earlier of how much I owned this semester, so we waltzed over to the office to pay it off. When he read the amount to me, it was about $400 cheaper than what my notice said. I knew instantly that all the German classes had been cancelled. And, sure enough, they had been. I told the nice man with gold bracelets that I would pay it later after finding another class to take. Luna and I sat at a table and looked through the schedules looking for something I could take and discussed degrees. Apparently, I have a very lax degree because only half of the credits are "need to take" classes. The other half is electives. Luna's CJ degree, on the other hand, is spelled out for her. Word for word. We had to wait until noon before I would have the registar's office trying and enroll me in this new class. I'm sure we scared the people in the offices because Luna had her iPod with her and we were dancing to the tunes while we waited in line. Actually enrolling in the class took a few clicks of the computer lady and a print out. I think we waited longer than the actual enrolling process.

Either way, we wandered back over to the business office and I paid my tuition fees. One objective down four to go. We braved the wind again and drove a little ways over to the residential life area. I was afraid to park in the restricted areas, but the Kitty said it would be okay. Trust in the Kitty magic. After parking, I went to get the keys I needed from the Leaverton office people. The girl's brain was only half present and it seemed like she wandered around the office looking for her ass. The other guy just sat in the chair, not caring. After she found her ass and the keys, we went up to the room and "inspected" it. Jody (Judy?) was still on the other side of the room since her next room was still occupied. She seems like a nice girl, but I am glad I'm not rooming with her. I took a few pictures of what it looks like, but I'm a little too tired to post them right now. I promise some on the next entry with my schedule.

I brought some of my stuff up and it only took two trips with Luna's help! Sweet action. I still need to take the rest of it up there; probably on Monday or Sunday. Not sure which, but I still have to move some of my stuff to my dad's office. I am completely retarded though. Naturally, I wait to move stuff when everyone is out of town. So after the seminar on Saturday, my retarded ass has to luge all the things I own to the office and put them in the basement. Sucks for me, but that's what I get for waiting. It turns out that my cosplay took three huge boxes and I gave away all my wigstands. I won't be using them, but everyone else could have a good use for them. All my CDs took one small box and my books took two medium sized boxes. I plan on selling some of the old textbooks I have because I don't want to move them or keep them in storage. I'm not going to say that this moving business is stressful, but it makes me sigh a lot.

It was nice having Kitty come with me today. I probably bored her with my KAT-TUN babble, but I was grateful. This is the first time in a long time that we aren't gathering at Ami's house on the weekend. It feels weird. I sat down and watched a good chunk of the stuff I recorded on the TiVo. Tomorrow night I'll probably watch the rest of those Stargates that have been on there forever. Aside from packing and cleaning out the TiVo, I've been clearing out stuff I don't use on Pissy and downloading lots of KAT-TUN stuff. I still can't figure out why they haven't debuted and it's driving me batty. Though they need to fire the person that said Ueda should sing "Love in Snow". He has a cute, shy voice, but the song is near the end of his range. It makes me sad for Ueda.

I have only recently realized just how big this house is, but it took moving boxes and sleeping in it alone to comprehend it. My parents are off on a seminar and my sister left for her vaction in England today. *sigh* I should probably go to sleep. Probably... maybe.
