First, I parked and payed $3 at a meter to find out out I was at the wrong place. I tried to go to 700 WEST Temple Street when I should have been at 700 EAST Temple Street. That'll teach me to scout out the location beforehand. Luckily I had phone with me so I could call and let them know.

I saw McSweenys vs. They Might Be Giants last night. It was good. The readings were hilarious and I loved the accompanying music. The second half was just a concert and it was alright but not super great.

On Sunday I went to Big Lots to buy a mop and ended up also buying a molded plastic desk that fits over your lap when you're sitting up in bed or, as I do frequently, on the couch. So much better for me to eat in front of the tv with. Then I did three loads of laundry, mostly sheets, and cleaned the bathroom.

Last night I went out to dinner with my aunt and uncle. We went to Houstons. It was incredible! I had the ribs and the just fell off the bone. The apple cobbler was also wonderful. Then we watched Monsoon Wedding on DVD. I liked it just as much as I did the first time I saw it.Sarah Maenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795777.post-916096282003-03-29T09:35:00.000-08:002003-03-29T09:35:56.810-08:00Reading Log updatedSarah Maenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795777.post-915682992003-03-28T13:34:00.000-08:002003-03-28T13:34:31.403-08:00I watched Kissing Jessica Stein last weekend.

This is the first day this week I've had to work since Sunday, and the room has been empty so far. My supervisor is even leaving, but I'll be here til 11. Then I get a two hour break and I'm back from 1-3.
I've mostly been reading, so I will update my reading log for all of you that actually look at it.

Amazingly it didn't make me very sore. There were only a few falls and no injuries. We happened to go on church youth group night. I had no idea until a man came up and said that they were wondering what church we were from. I'm sure they were since we were the only racially-mixed group there.

I'm finishing up by working in MMS and getting very excited about my rollerskating party tonight. I even have a special outfit. I got these kneesocks with rollerskates on them that I will wear with a skirt and a t-shirt. It will be very cute. I haven't been rollerskating since high school, at least that's the last time I remember Sarah Maenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795777.post-910252822003-03-19T16:48:00.000-08:002003-03-19T16:48:31.606-08:00On Monday I finished up my coursework for the quarter by giving my portfolio presentation. I cried and made everyone else cry too.
Afterwards some of us went to happy hour at Acapulcos. Then some of us headed over to the HMS Bounty to meet up with the Depressed Library Students Social Club. A good time was had by all, especially me as I had 2 margaritas, 1 rum and coke, and 1 Anchor Steam.

I got 3 boxes of Thin Mints from my parents and a cute t-shirt and pants set from my Grandma that has pooh and piglet on it.
There has also been a lot of good news lately: babies and wedding announcements.
Kinda makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

I spent the day cleaning the bathroom and my desk area. It was such a disaster area with papers and bills and receipts everywhere. I also realized that I had forgotten to pay my credit card bill which was due on the 5th. OOPS! Anyway, later I finally watched Eyes Wide Shut. It was interesting but everyone seemed to talk really slowly which made the already long movie drag.

I spent the day doing laundry and reading for class. Later I made a cake and watched The Sweetest Thing. This movie was such crap I can't even believe it. It had some funny moments but it seemed really low-budget and contrived. I thought it was going to be one of those "it's so bad it's good," but it wasn't.

I went grad bar today. It was an 80's theme, so I got a free drink for dressing up. I also met a guy there and we ended up going out to the mvoies afterward. We saw 25th Hour. I liked the movie except for the whole racist diatribe in the middle about everyone in New York.

As I was checking out IMDB, I was very excited to see that the first season of Six Feet Under is coming out on VHS/DVD. I saw two episodes because a friend of a friend had the Emmy viewing box from HBO. I love this show but don't have cable so this really makes my day.

It is pretty crappy but it is done.
I have started all my classes for the quarter: Portfolio & Professional Development, Childrens Literature, and Public Libraries.
Portfolio class rocks because without it my portfolio would be being written over Spring Break. (It is due on April 11th)
Childrens Lit is fun beacuse I get to read lots of childrens books.

I'm now back at school, at work actually, and there is no one here. Surprise Surprise.
I bought all my books for classes and it only set me back $112. They are mostly books for children's lit.
