How I'm Spending My Summer Vacation (the non-hospitalized remix)

Just got back home after spending the day with Nina. She came over and hung out for most of the afternoon, during which we watched Studio 60 and ate the chili I'd just made. Played Star Wars Monopoly. Drank a 2-litre thing of black cherry soda.

Then went to the fund raiser that her mom's non-profit was putting on at Cal Skate. It should at this point be noted that I haven't skated since I was seven years old, and so it's fairly impressive that I only fell once. Sadly, this once slammed the side of my head down into the floor. Kinda hurts still when poked, but didn't break the skin. I didn't go back out onto the rink after that, but Nina and I both won things in the raffle- she got four free passes to the miniature golfing on site there, I I got two free meals at Denny's. We decided to really make an evening out of it, and used them both. Fortunately, I redeemed myself at the golfing. So there was that. Something nice about living in Chico is that we could be out golfing at 9:30pm in shorts and still be comfortable.

In fact, it didn't get cold at all except for when we were in Denny's where they had the AC cranked. Was fun ordering full meals there, though, and they put up absolutely no fuss about just taking the vouchers (which were just handwritten on the back of a couple of business cards) and letting us go. So that was nice.

Might possibly be trying to bike to Butte College tomorrow. It'd be nice not to have to worry about missing the bus, and it's not like it gets dark at any time that I'd have to worry about biking in the dark. So we'll see.

But now, sleep!

Stop, Bannertime!

I quite like this new banner. It really is looking like autumn here; the leaves have changed colour, and are falling prodigiously. It's very pretty.

Also, picked out my classes today. I got into all the ones I talked about in the previous post, and then picked cardio dance for my aerobics. The big kicker is...they're all Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Which means that, except for one hour on Thursdays (Differential Equations is four units, and so meets four days a week), I only have to go to school three days a week next semester. Granted, they'll be fairly busy days, But three of the five classes I'm taking (econ 102, econ 103, and geog 102) are 100 level. So, that (hopefully) won't be too bad.

The tire in which the nice bike people replaced the inner tube is kinda whacked out. *sighs* Have to drag that back down to them on Friday, see if they can't fix whatever they did to it.

But, I'm off to type up some Proofs homework. My hands are really cold, though. Maybe I'll make up some decaf tea...

Oh, and in honor of the essay test I suffered through today, here's a pretty comic for you all...

To riding your bike, midday,

past the three-piece suits...

It's so nice to have my bike back. Liek, srsly. It was okay walking, but this is just so much quicker. If somewhat more stressful in a "oh dear is that car about to swerve out and kill me?" kinda way.

An hey, look! A Thursday night post! I must be doing...physics! Actually, right now I'm not; proofs really needs to get done first. I did a fair amount of physics work earlier, though I still need to review the linear momentum stuff.



Heh. And these are just the sort of directions we're given, too. But! Lab grade is very nearly up to an A. Maybe that'll make up for the train-wreck that my exam[s] have been...

We'll probably get back our calc tests tomorrow; I'm almost hoping for an A. Almost. Just...not quite.

Oh dang, I need to do my logic quiz, too. At least I don't have to get up from my comp to do that!

And, just because Foxtrot is awesome:
