Stess's Journal

Good two days, actually, because yesterday was good, too. I actually got up in the morning, got things done, and then yesterday evening my parent's friend Kathy came in. She was in town on business but came by to have dinner, and since I seemed to enjoy playing bridge I got to play with them. When Kathy and her husband were here for a weekend, they played 51 hands in one day. That's a lot. We only played about six or seven, but had a good time, and me and my dad won all but twice. Kathy said I'm not allowed to have beginner's luck anymore because I'm not a beginner. lol.

But the best part about yesterday was when my dad called. I did some work for his company when I first got here, designing a logo for a service in his company. Anyway, they took what I had done to their normal graphic designer to work on further and utilize in other ways. She met with my dad yesterday, and when she learned that I was the one who had done the original and I was looking for a job, she said she was looking for a new entry-level designer and she wanted my resume. !!!

So I took my resume over today. The principle wasn't there, but one of the other designers was, and he was really nice. He seemed impressed by my resume, so I'm really excited. The woman who owns it will be back tomorrow, so here's hoping!!!

Also LOST tonight was probably the best episode I've seen all season. Alex! Others! Ethan! Baby Aaron! And almost no Jack! And next week? Sun pregnant wha?

So my morning started out sucky. I had an eye appointment, so I could *finally* get new contacts (i've been living on my last pair for...well way too long). Anyway, I thought I knew where this place was but first I had to get to where I thought it was, which took me forever, then it turned out NOT to be there, and so after driving around for half an hour, I pulled into a gas station, got their phone book, but it wasn't in there. By now, I'm freaking out because I'm half an hour late to my appointment, I don't know where I'm going, my brother is asleep, my dad is working, and my mom was at bible study, so she couldn't answer her phone. But just then she calls me and I told her what happened. She told me to call directory assistance, who magically had the number, even though the phonebook didn't. Anyway, I had to reschedule for NEXT Monday. Argh. I hope my contacts can last that long, because my glasses are definitely not strong enough anymore and they give me a headache if I try to wear them for too long because I have to squint to focus.

So all that and I was fairly annoyed with myself, tried to cheer myself up by going to Barnes and Noble. Strangely, it worked, even though I didn't buy anything. Mostly because what I wanted to buy was way too expensive because the book hasn't come out in paperback yet.

But I did get to talk to my Katy on the phone for a bit while she was getting lunch (yay!) and the guy came today to see about getting the scrollwork on our piano fixed (the movers broke it) (and that's a yay because I loves my piano and it's upstairs on the landing to my room because I'm the only one who still plays it every now and then)

Oh and I'm excited because tonight is the episode of CSI that I'm totally stoked to see - yay for Lady Heather! (ps - any Lost addicts out there on my flist? Because i'm totally p.o.ed at Sawyer and Charlie right now! can you believe?)

Rehearsal was today. I felt five.

Anyway, in other news, Stephanie is officially going to pass this semester by the SMALLEST SLIVER OF SKIN ON HER TEETH. Yeesh. I was informed that if I don't turn in something for a late grade, I will fail. Sigh. I was going to turn it in tomorrow anyway though. I just didn't get it done for tonight.

And now I just found out that the library is CLOSED after 5pm tonight and that makes me very very mad because there were things I needed to DO in there!!!!

*fume*

But on the bright side, I have already gotten two rock-awesome christmas presents, one from my lovely Katy - a massaging foot spa! So fun! And one from Ashley - Season 1 of LOST. I am very excited.

Anyway, time to go be social downstairs at the dinner for art senior seminar.
