two down

Because it’s bloody hot here today…

And because I’m finished with TWO of my three classes now…

…I thought a little treat was in order.

Actually, I had every intention of having an iced coffee this afternoon since I didn’t bring one to class. I stopped at Orchard Perk on the way home and got a cup of already-chilled joe, and picked up one of their teeny-tiny 25-cent cookies. Nutella flavor-yum! And just one.

I am having a bit of a personal dilemma though; I don’t have to take the stats final, which is why I said I was finished with two of my classes earlier. I have a 99% in the class, and the final is worth an amount that would allow me to keep an A without taking it. And since ECC doesn’t do A+’s, a 99% is the same as a 90% in terms of one’s GPA. All this to say, it’s killing me to know my average in stats will drop from a 99 to a 90.6 by not taking the final, but I’m so ready to be done. And I already have an A. And let’s not forget about Chemistry…

What is an overachiever to do???

all used up

Remember when I used up all my ink in a matter of weeks last semester??

After numerous calculations, I’ve worn all my erasers down to the end, which necessitates one of two things:

1. Buy more pencils.

2. Raid Andrew’s stash of giant, adjustable eraser “thing-a-ma-jigs” from college.

(While I wouldn’t normally be so hesitant to update my pencil collection, I happen to LIKE all my pencils and don’t feel like spending the money on new ones.)

So…

…I’ve now stocked my backpack and both pencil cups with these giant things. And I used to think they were only for engineers. I’ve gone to the dark side.

Now, as long as I don’t start using his fancy-schmancy metal “engineer” mechanical pencils (he has about a gazillion, seriously), I think I’ll be OK…

a great start to the weekend

My pseudo-dinner:

I saw the “hummingbird” cupcake on Swirls’ Facebook page and had to have one. I love hummingbird cake! It’s a southern thing… (not that I’m 100% southern or anything.)
Anyway, I am on Main Street to take pictures for an article and a manicure (Andrew’s treat!), before heading over to Tantalus for a co-op mingling “happy hour” event. I don’t like drinking on an empty stomach, and I have some time to kill before Andrew meets me there, so I figured i’d get a snack beforehand. The addition of the milk takes this from pure sugar to something that might actually help fill me up.
