Not so Cold...

At work, that is.  At school I was changing the institute marquee this morning and it was very cold.  I was very grateful for the man who helped me get it done. We had a little to take down-I dropped a letter and it broke on the cement in the fall, but they told me to just throw it away-but a lot of stuff to put up.  I'm still sore from work, but the soreness is less.  Plus I'm recovering a bit faster.
My feet don't hurt as much, but they still don't like hard floors at the moment.
School was otherwise slow.  Had time to read more of Crime and Punishment before Japanese class, and then met up with a friend from 3080 and intro to linguistics while I was eating my lunch.  They were with a group who had what seemed like several conversations-I was tired and having a bit of trouble following the conversation-during the half hour I sat there.

Hrm...

Drove my brother to work this morning and was almost late for intro to visual studies.  Grabbed some leftovers to eat between my two classes today so I wasn't rushing to eat lunch before work.  Got a lot colder today after the sun went down, but I got in early today anyway.
Had a man compliment me by saying 'Lady Liberty is beautiful!'  I told him I probably wasn't a match for the real thing.
Funny, this sign waving seems to be helping my shoulder, by a lot.  Both hurt now, but my bad one didn't hurt when I got up this morning.
I've still got homework though...

Ow...

Well, things started today, and one is less fun than the other.  Turned in yet another set of homework for japanese-and we had our first quiz today.
The job is fine, until it got darker and the temp dropped very fast.  My shoulder informed me it did not like the cold-plus holding a five pound sign for nearly four hours-but thankfully they told me to go inside once the sun went down.  They'd rather not have me court frostbite-or get hit by a car in the dark.
Got a possible job lined up for after, as one of my coworker's mentioned a possibility at their other job they'd keep me in mind for.  Be nice to have one that won't end in a few months.

Got a Job.

Another temporary one, but better than none at all.  Just tired of having to job hunt every few months...
Still have my japanese homework, but this new job actually allows us to listen to music-hey, how else is one to keep a beat while dancing with a sign on a street corner?-so I can listen to Japanese while working.
My brother had to get a ride from my dad this morning.  My poor dad was late to work, but not from that.  He was late before he gave my brother a ride.
Check engine light is off in my truck again-not burned out, I saw this morning, just no longer on-but I have to be slow in starting it.  Grr...
Otherwise a normal start to a long semester...

Gah...

My brother woke me up-granted I was about to get up anyway-around 7:30(My alarm was supposed to go off ten minutes earlier and didn't) to drive him to his first day at his new job.  Then he calls me at 5:30 needing a ride to school-which is a 20 minute drive from our house and his job is a good 10-15 minutes away from that-so I have to go all the way back up to school with him after spending time trying to find him on the street five minutes away from where he works.
Then he calls me up asking for a ride home!  As if he just can't bring himself to ride the bus...I know, it's cold and dark right now, but really?  I've got homework to do.  Sigh...
Barely got my Japanese done before class this morning too.  Did not want to do that, but not much choice.   Got the reading done for my 1040 art class.  Snowed twice over the weekend...no shoveling needed today though.

HoboPhobia?

Yes, this is a word I may have made up.  I had a weird dream last night where I was watching a movie trailer for a movie with this title.  Basic story is a group of scientists get funding to study a egg sac filled with Wolf spider eggs as they hatch and grow.  One of the male interns comes in very sick and starts playing with one of the newly hatched babies-despite being told to leave them alone several times, and not because he was sick-and due to his illness causes the poor spider to mutate as it matures.  The spider grows to nearly four feet in length, but it's head is shaped like that of a crocodile.  The spider lashes out in pain while the team tries desperately to fix the damage without causing further harm.
I think I had spiders on the brain last night, but I don't know where it came from.  Plus the story deals with Wolf spiders, yet the title refers to Hobo spiders.  Not to mention the spider using it's web to directly link it's mind to the head scientist's and try to find out why this is happening to it...
Photography class today, and I can use my mom's camera-teacher has the same type, just newer-for the assignments.  They just want me to get some stuff for the camera.  Got out early, so i was able to get home by 11:30.
Still have homework though...

Blah...

Tried to get to bed at ten, but the rest of the family-save my already in bed sister-were watching a movie long past that so it didn't work.  Then had a weird dream involving a church, then breakfast at home where I splashed a mug I'd just filled with hot water and coco mix and then my brother somehow-I didn't see this part-knocking off the table.  Then I woke to my 6 a.m. alarm.  Had to drag my brother out of bed because he wanted to go up with me.  Had snowed but just a light layer and no ice that I found.  Truck's having difficulty starting again, but the battery is lower on power than usual.  May have part of the problem, may not.  Cloudy but no further snow.
School felt long due to being tired.  Got homework turned in-forgot a reading assignment for world lit!  But no big deal there.  It was discussed in class anyway.
Have a class at 9 a.m. tomorrow...
