I'm supposed to be working on a college essay. But I'd rather talk to people and blog. So that is what I'm doing. Luckily, I only have to finish this essay and then write one more and then I'm done completely. And the other one is about why I want to go to Rhodes. Which shouldn't be too hard, although I don't think "I want to play with Katie Jo and Morgan and Jennifer and all my other cool friends in the general vicinity of Memphis" will work.
For whatever reason, I had a really cool day yesterday. I kinda slept in. When I got up, I cleaned out my car, which severely needed it. A paper bag full of trash and numerous pairs of shoes, jeans, a couple sweatshirts and a sleeping bag later, it's all clean. Minus a little bit of egg that I couldn't get off. Yes, someone egged my car last night. And I have no clue who. It really pisses me off. But that's besides the point. So after that, I helped my dad rewire one of the lights in the kitchen. And then we did some work on my car. I never get to do fun mechanical stuff that I don't understand. So that was quite nice.
Then I went to the Duke women's game. Well, first I went to Starbucks to get my first caramel apple cider of the cold weather season. I MUCHLY enjoyed it. Then I went to the first half of the women's game. But I got bored. And I was kinda sick. So I left. And went driving. This time, I took some roads that I'd never been on before. Always a good thing. I ended up on 86 again though (all roads lead to 86?), past Hillsboro. I thought about driving out to the Bevill's farm, but then realized that might be just slightly odd. So I came home. Then my dad and I went out to dinner (my mom and Brian were still in Charlotte). Our waitress was this girl Julie, who I'd just seen a tape of singing "Any Man of Mine", at age 11, as off key as could be. I about choked on my coke when I realized who she was.
So anyway, fun day. Haleigh and I went to the Duke-Auburn women's game today and it was much to close for comfort. Interestingly enough, I had the Duke, UVA and Auburn fight songs all running through my head the entire time. I think I'm just psycho. I went back to Starbucks (there's a reason I'm so broke!) for some peppermint hot cocoa tonight after stopping to see Elyse at work. And I've had some fun IM conversations tonight. So, despite the fact that I suck at it, life is good.
