School has been chugging along well; first exam today in Asian Art History and I did, eh… But I’ve gotten 100% on almost all of my Japanese work! Hurray!

This Thursday through next Monday I’ll be in New York City and then in Washington, DC for my annual I-wish-I-lived-here-not-Norfolk trip for my birthday. In an effort to not spend any money before my big trip, I’ve been staying in most of the time watching House seasons 1-4 on my laptop. The only thing I’ve really bought is the new Harvest Moon, Island of Happiness (I HATE THE STYLUS).

Unfortunately I’m still contractually stuck in my swampartment (which now has water coming up in no less than 4 places, and still more areas make a gushing noise when stepped on), even though I’ve found another place and moved a lot of stuff. Its really bad; there’s water damage and mold inside the bedroom closet now, and even more tiles in the kitchen are bulging up. I can’t do anything about it today (SOMEONE needs to take out the trash and pick up their stuff), but tomorrow I’m gonna bring the fury to the main office.

Good news, everyone survived the weekend Grams is doing well, and Gramps is already itchin to go try out his new motor.

Did you know the ODU Bookstore has Moleskine notebooks half off? I picked up one of the watercolor pads the other day; it’s really excellent paper with smooth tooth, and holds permanent fine-line ink really well. Maybe I’ll take a few pictures of my doodles and upload em on my flickr… If I remember!

There’s a coldfront coming, so enjoy the last day of gross! I’ll post a bunch of pictures from NYC when I get back in the swing of things next Tuesday. Cheers!

xoxo
