Fiiine!
It’s friday! Finally. I’ve reserved to rent a car tomorrow, which I’m really pretty excited about. Getting the chance to drive again is pretty damn sweet. Even if it’s going to cost an arm and a leg (hey, I’d be tempted to sell a kidney for the privelage…maybe…if it was a sweet ass car and I didn’t have to abide by any laws…and if I had unlimited fuel and lifetime free service… okay that’s probably a lot more expensive than a kidney.).My friend Hadi also coming down tonight to visit, so that he can come along for the driving tomorrow. Apparently we’re heading south (I don’t care as long as we’re going there by car :P).
I’ve also finally managed to purchase a pillow and comforter (of the, 100% Synthetic ohmygodI’msotiredofhavinganallergicreactiontofeatherpillows variety) I took the cheapest I could find in the store, but it still worked out to ~EUR 35. I think my problem is that I hate shopping so I get impatient and eventually just want it to be over with so I end up settling for paying more than I should for things. Meh. At least it means I’m poorer so I shop less :P A sort of self correcting system.
My tasks for the rest of my time here are: Learn some goddam german (bleech). Try not to hate the job. Start studying for intro biology (to make life easier next semester), look into how this whole grad school thing works and plan out what I want to do after college (because let’s face it, my chances of getting into grad school are pretty bleak, and I’m not sure I’d be able to hack it just right now).
An interesting thing I found out about work today. There is a ‘car pool’, where you get to take their vehicles out for a spin to run errands, I think (lost in translation). I *might* be able to get signed up for it, will find out on monday. Hey, I’ve had a errand boy/delivery guy job before. Maybe if I could convince them to do this a lot. Hey, at least now I’ll be rolling in style:P
Alright, that’s all I got.
