Huh.

Took a shower last night and noticed that I still have the tan line from my landscaping job last summer.  My tan usually lasts until about the first snow fall, so that's why I was surprised.
We got Just Dance 2014-my sister did actually-and tried it out then, and we played it more today.  I joined in after work because my shoulder's were stiff from it.
Tried to get another 4 GB flash drive for my photography class because just the pictures I've taken so far are chewing up the majority of the empty space I had on my old one.  The smallest they had was a 8 GB for a little bit more than I got my old 4 GB for.  The best deal was a 64 GB for about $45, but I don't have that kind of money.  Haven't got paid yet.
I have homework still, and I found time to get started on my story for the contest.  Might not get anywhere, but I'd still like to try.

Windy...

It was at work, right before the sun went down-of course-so i freezing the last few minutes of standing around waving a sign.  A friend from school just asked me to join Linkedin or whatever it's called so they can add me to their pro profile(no, that is not a typo, I did it on purpose) or something.  So I did. Not sure what it's for, but I doubt it'll hurt.
Amazon is doing a cool contest next month for writers that i really would like to try, but I'd either have to totally revamp and finish one of the two stories I did for Nanowrimo or restart a old one I never got down on paper.  Then I have the usual school work and work work.  But the grand prize is $50,000 with three smaller prizes of $15,000.  would be cool, so I'll try for it when I can squeeze it in.
Lover's Feast thing is coming up, and it's cheaper to buy two tickets this time. Figures.  I think everyone's doing that these days.
Went to the ice skating thing on saturday and wound up helping a woman who took a bad spill-the fall wasn't so bad, but her phone made it worse, as it didn't break but dug rather badly into her thigh-and had to be carried off the ice.  She was okay, and even tried teaching me some basic dance moves while we were talking.  I bet she got a really colorful bruise from it.
Well, I have a picture redo for art 1040 thursday, two 'papers' for english 3080, the usual amount of Japanese, and reading for everything else-you'd think there'd be more writing in those classes...

Ow...

Certainly not as cold today, but the sun went down at 5:30, and I'm not quite up to that yet.  just my back and shoulders are sore though, as is becoming typical.
Second quiz in Japanese, and I nearly forgot to study for it.  I think I did a lot better on this one though.  We didn't have to conjugate any words this time, but we did have to change katakana words to hiragana-which was an interesting exercise.
Was supposed to change the marque again, but one of my fellow committee members beat me to it.  I won't complain, given how tired I was at the time and how sore I am now.  I just had to let the teacher know.  I get to change it monday instead. Fun...

That's Better...

Not as windy today, though there was the occasional breeze mixed in.  I made it to 5:30 anyway.  Taking care of the flags and folding sign I'm supposed to put out then take back in took til 5:50-I had to warm up too-so that's the longest I've spent on the job so far.
Got my paper in and my journal done last night.  Started my Japanese homework before class today, but only finished a third of it.  We're supposed to take an ad and 'revise it' so it sends a different message in art 1040 for next week.
My newest niece rolled over today!  My sister called to tell my mom.

Now THAT'S Cold!

Rather windy today at work.  At first it was enough to try and steal the 'hat' I'm supposed to wear, but as the sun went down I was fighting to keep my hands warm enough to hold the sign up.  Didn't help that the sun went behind the clouds a good fifteen minutes before it actually set so that made it even colder.  Barely made it to 5:20 before having to quit and go warm up.  My manager/supervisor joked about my needing to 'thaw out'.  Then they saw my hands and realized that's a pretty good description of what they needed.
Still didn't have hot water this morning, so my dad very nicely heated up water so my mom and I could bathe before going to work(for her) and school(for me).  I believe he got it working after that though.  He's still worried about a gas leak.  He found a dead mouse on the old dryer vent last night while checking something.  And we have cats why?
Still need my paper for that class tomorrow, and have a quiz in japanese again.  On top of our homework...

Not good...

I got home from work to find out our hot water heater died during the day.  Meaning no hot water until the new one is installed-we recycled the old one-and I need to shower tonight...
Woke up tired this morning, and had to rush in trying to get the dishes done-wound up with one still dirty but it still had food in it too-before school.  Not sure what my brother plans to do for a ride home from work-or to school from work.
We saw The Saratov Approach last night.  I like it.
Got most of my japanese homework done before my intro to linguistics class, but still have one part left.  My sister is still not feeling so good, which does not bold well if she got me sick.
I have a paper for another class I need to find an ad for...

Martin Luther King Day!

Is this the day he was assassinated or the day of his speech?  Not sure, which may be stupid of me.  No school, but I still have work-I am thinking of going in early though.
My pants have fake pockets-as in they have the outline for the front pockets but no 'depth' in them.  Basically they are decoration.  Interesting...
My brother had to work today too.  My family is hinting that they might come 'heckle' me while I'm waving the sign for a few hours.  I told them I'd find a few hard blunt objects if they tried it.  I doubt they'll do it either way, they just like to torment me.
Got to see my niece-the youngest one-on saturday.  My older one was with my aunt at the time.  Sigh...
