You know what I think the next most important technological step should be? Better batteries. Doesn't it seem like if they can make a computer this tiny, they should be able to make a battery that lasts at least overnight?
Things are finally starting to settle down. I've got a more regular schedule set out in front of me, and even though it's a little taxing (no actual days off of both work and school), it's nice to finally know where I'm going to be and when.
I signed up for 3 five credit classes this quarter, which is the largest school-load I've taken yet. I'm taking Contemporary World Literature from 9-9:50, International Relations from 10-10:50, and Music Theory 107 from 11-11:50, all monday thru friday.
I'm a little worried that this is going to be too much work, so I'm going to go for 2 days and see how I feel. If I hate it, I'm dropping Music and taking beginning body conditioning for 2 credits. What the hell is body conditioning? I don't know, but a gym class sounds pretty fun now that I'm not 15 and totally physically awkward. (instead, I'm 24 and totally physically awkward, but generally pretty comfortable with my awkwardness. Maybe we'll play pickleball!)
Top Pot is going to be all closing shifts, tuesday and all 3 weekend nights. This puts something of a damper on my show-attendance, but it means I won't have to work those hellish saturday and sunday morning or afternoon shifts anymore. I'll miss being with the other people at the shop, but I won't miss working my ass off with a line of people out the door and then having to split tips 3 ways.
Mom and dad brought me out to their house for Easter Dinner last night. (Ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, deviled eggs, can peas, fruit salad, Jell-o.) Mom has finished putting together the remaining bits of the first uniform dress, and it's looking pretty freakin sweet. They've gone down to Longview, WA this afternoon to see if the town is liveable, because my dad doesn't want to update his resume. He knows a guy in longview who might get him a job, and 'knowsaguy' is an extremely powerful phrase in Walker family jargon. Mom is still hoping to stay in Seattle and move somewhere liveable for me. I'm not pinning my hopes on it, but it'd be great if it worked out.
My dad informed me last night that when he was in Jr. High, his cousins convinced him to get dressed in drag and ask their friend to a sadie hawkins dance. This conversation began after a makeup commercial with the words: "Hey! I had my eyelashes curled once!"
