Well, again, I am bad at things. Missed yesterday, mostly because I was out with friends until way too late, like an idiot. However, yesterday was pretty decent. Spent the afternoon with Jessie, writing my Music History paper. Introduced her to Mikey's, had some pretty excellent conversation, and introduced my neighbor, Chris, to Better Off Ted. Which he loves. Nothing overall outstanding or spectacular about the day, but it was a good one overall.

Today, however. Oh, today. Went to English class and then the One World Cafe, which apparently received a phone call from Khloe Kardashian's manager....? Supposedly, she was stopping in to Moscow, Idaho to visit Wheatberries Bakery and the Cafe. As much as all of us doubted the phone call was true, it was still amusing. Afterwards, went to Improv practice for the last time this year, and then off to go watch my neighbor's Theatre 101 final, which was a performance of a scene from Tartuffe. VERY funny, and he got to be a VERY creepy priest. Good times. Also saw an ad for a 1995 Cutlass Supreme for sale, for $1000. Apparently the car is in great shape, and the guy inherited it from a fella who passed away, and he can't drive it since he's in a wheelchair, so he's just trying to get rid of it. Seems like a pretty reasonable deal if I can swing it, so we'll see how it looks when I go take a look at it tomorrow.

Also, as of right now, I will be waiting to get final numbers on my 2010 Tax Returns and Spring 2011 Financial Aid, and if that all works out, I will be leaving my job for good. Thank God. It'll make next semester a frugal, scholastically productive, but kinda awesome semester. Here's hoping, eh? In an ideal world, I'll be getting enough to get this Cutlass, sell off my slowly collapsing, gas-guzzling beast of a vehicle, AND quit my job. Also, I'm on the top of the list for a University of Idaho Grant-writing internship over the summer, BUT they're not 100% sure that they'll be able to keep the job open, since their department budget is being cut, so when they find out, they're going to let me know, and if they can keep it open, the job is pretty much mine. Also considering a job writing for the University Newspaper, which pays $15 per article, which would average out to 120/month, if I wrote an article for each of the 2 papers printed in a week. Then, thirdly, there is the possibility that I'll be receiving a grant-writing internship with the University of Idaho Center for Disability and Human Development. All in all, a whole lot of potential employment opportunities, none of which involve photocopiers as a primary function. Which excites the shit out of me. That's all, and we'll see how things go.
