home again
Mom and Dad are home now. They had a good time upstate and did most of their Christmas shopping as well. So, I no longer have the house to myself. But, it was fun while it lasted.

what did i do?
I watched my DVDs... played around a bit with the paints on my Gundam models... finished my laundry. I found that the glossy enamel is way too shiney to use for the entire model. However, it might work for certain details, like the little areas on the shield and stuff. So, I bought a matte black and a matte gray color. Unfortunately, the gray color is darker than I thought it was, so now I have to go out and buy some matte white. I also got a tiny brush for the details and I'll be able to paint my Duo figurine for real now, since it's not shiney paint. That would have looked dumb.

snow...
We had snow this past Tuesday. Of course, that was the day I took Mom's car to the dealer to get the spoiler and alarm installed. And... because my luck just stinks, I got a Sebring convertible to drive home.

Now, convertible tops have come a long way in recent times. They've got real glass rear windows now instead of that soft plastic stuff. They're also really well insulated so you're not freezing in the winter time. But, I still wished we had done the car switch in July... because I could have driven with the top down in both cars!!!

test results
I got my tests back this week, too, since last week was midterms for me. I got a 93 on my Java miterm and a 100 on my Accounting midterm. Needless to say, I'm very happy. If I keep this up, I'll be graduating with that 4.0 after all! It's really an exciting prospect.

interview blahs
Of course, I have to call the school back about my exit interview for Financial Aid anyway... plus I have a re-entry interview as well on Tuesday. I already did my admissions for the four year, signing up for my Bachelor's program. I just hope I don't have to do all this reapplying stuff. It's going to be a pain. In fact, I think I put on my Financial Aid forms that I was going to be attending next semester, so I should be getting money for that, too, anyway.

Of course, I just got an e-mail from the Dept of Ed about renewing it starting Jan 1, 2004. I'm confused, so I'm thinking I should print the e-mail and bring it along with me.

snapple "real fact" # 164
The first vacuum was so large, it was brought to a house by horses.

Yikes!
