Chasing the Paper Trail

Today I registered for a spring break mini-term. Being the bureaucracy-naive girl that I am, I expected this process to be fairly simple. I figured a quick stop into my adviser's office and a pop into the cashier's office, and I'm done.

This, not astonishingly, was not the case. After a slightly longer than expected visit to my adviser, I was sent to the registrar, financial aid and finally, the cashier's office. Now, it's not like I had to work my butt off or fill out a mountain of paperwork, but still...I thought that's why computers were invented...to take away unnecessary treks across the wilderness that is a college campus.

It all worked out for the best, though. I got everything done, got to cross something off my to do list, all with the help of my trusty sidekick Courtney. All in all, it wasn't too bad. Just boring. Welcome to the real world. :p

In other news, Winter Ball tickets were successfully purchased today. YAY! I'm looking forward to a night of high-society fun...or maybe just a game of dress up and a dance or two. Still, I know that Mark, Courtney and myself will pretty much rock the Diamond Club. Can I be honest? The fact that the whole soirée is at the Ballpark makes me really happy. :) I'm a weirdo, I know. But at least I have a great time!

Side note: Although I didn't do great on the first two tests of the semester (I passed, but didn't really meet my goal (it was blocked, lol, CLS class)), I totally killed my American history test. Take that British colonies! And don't come back!

Well, I guess that's all I've really got for today. Hmmm.....it looks like we're overdue for a random thought. Here we go:

Outside of my window, there is a red bicycle chained to the colonial-style lamppost. Whenever I see it, I imagine that it is really lonely. Especially during really rainy weather. I always feel like someone should cover it up somehow. It's in pretty good shape, though, so I guess my worries are unfounded.

That is all.

That dance is going to be wonderful! I'm so glad I'll finally be able to have a dance or two with the girl of my dreams. You and I and Courtney will have the greatest of times!! A night to remember for sure. You are so unbelievably beautiful in that dress! I can't wait. :-)

I do so adore your random thoughts! The poor red bicycle, maybe we should look into getting it some sort of cover or something for its birthday? :-)
