- my experience with the writing center was only bittersweet. i was hoping they could've helped me more. oh well.

- Kat's party was fun, although i was only there for like 20 minutes. was sooo tired, but still dropped by the Rude to see Craig and Johnny play. but i got there too late. they finished. :( so i chilled there a bit, and this one customer at the bar came over to me and started talking to me and asking me personal questions about my family. johnny later told me he's been hitting on everyone that night. ugh. it freaked me out. then we went to Failte's for a bit. then i bussed home.

- Heidi (my boss at RN) commented on my corset. she said i should get a black one and wear it for work. i was kinda surprised, because i didn't know we could wear corsets to work. so now i'm on the lookout. well... i always did want a black corset, but all the good ones are so damn expensive. i need to save up for travelling. we'll see.

- got more ideas about travelling. i really don't know what i should do.

- got a cool trial version on a learning software. it is fuckin' awesome!! it reads out loud to you, and if they don't have your textbook on tape, you can scan in whatever page you want (textbook, library book, anything!) and the program will read it to you. oh! and you get to choose what voice you want reading your stuff, it's sooo great! like, male and female voices, younger sounding, or older sounding. and you can highlight and make notes from it, give you definitions on the words you don't understand in the book, even make mp3 files (if you have your own definition of a word, you can record it), and a bunch of other neat stuff. i need to email my consultant and ask if i will be funded when i get my scanner and such. that will be awesome, because i can get a free scanner, and free software (if i decide to get the real version. i most likely will) this is exciting.

- a great big thank you to all that made this happen.
