(unlikely dreams)

vrijdag 25 augustus 2006

The Good: All of my textbooks have arrived except one, swim practice starts on Monday, I made an appointment at Career Services to fix my resume, Jules showed me how to type in Persian on my laptop, my weekend homework is manageable, doing laundry in the apartment has proven to be easy, there's a very slight chance I may get Persian to count as graduate credit after all, and I returned that ridiculous mountain bike in favor of waiting it out until Mom can bring my road bike up here.

The Bad: I forgot to call Apple, the light bulb burned out on my room fragrance thingie, the second class of Mayan Languages was still pretty boring, and the closest compatible credit union is almost 20 miles away.

The Ugly: According to the guy who recommended it to me a year and a half ago, the NSA's Language Enhancement Program is (a) full, and (b) most likely not going to continue past this December. That doesn't mean I have no options, of course, but it sure does suck.
