it is a lot of money, and we could use it. but soon, instead of the eight thousand dollars, we will have... A NEW CAAAAAAR! without having set foot in a dealership. the transaction was conducted online and over the phone, because CarMax is awesome. we will eventually have to actually go there in person, but not until the car, which is presently in florida, comes out here. it's surprisingly difficult to find manual transmissions these days.
there is something fucked up when every single school and college in town -- including a school literally within sight of campus -- is on delay, except yours. half of the students live off-campus, and nearly all the tutors do, and the city employees are on delay, meaning the buses aren't running, and the campus is on the freakin' side of a mountain, meaning it gets more snow than town gets, and the plows don't actually go up there, but hey, my 9am's sure to be going on as-scheduled.
what's your cutoff for Too-Sick-For-School/Work? do you factor in thoughts of your contageousness? do you feel guilty anyway?
OBAMA FEVER! he is, evidently, speaking tonight, about two blocks from my house, at the College of Santa Fe. so i'm going. since the people i know in real life who have fallen in love with him always cite his speechmaking and his personality, i will go and evaluate him on the terms everyone else is using, i guess. a conversation about policies he actually supports seems to be rather beyond most of my classmates, which is, i suppose, not surprising, but is rather depressing. so since they're only willing to judge him on style, i will go and check out this much-vaunted style.
