Monday...

What else is there to say? School was fun. In Latin we had a test that was an hour long, to celebrate the new schedule's 80-minute blocks. It was an okay test, just long. But, it's Catullus, and Catullus is always cool. Poems 10, 96, 50-something..... eh, I have no idea, and checking would involve getting up. But amusing, and my first exposure to Catullus. Definitely a sight more interesting than Vergil, whom I learned to despise last year. Sorry, buddy. Just not quite as exciting as Homer.

Eye appointment after school, I spent a long time debating over whether to get modest, normal looking frames, or giant square thick plastic red frames..... after about 30 minutes of trying on one, then the other, I finally decided on a nice compromise. Roundish, to fit my face, with (you guessed it) thick plastic red frames. I guess the only thing I compromised on was the square shape. But they're cool, and I'll get them in a couple weeks, and then I'll finally be able to take my contacts out more often, not have them in from 6:30 in the morning till 11:00 at night. Sweet.

Once again, with this blessed new schedule, I had no homework tonight! Well, about 40 minutes of reading. And.... yeah, that was about it. I did my calc homework on Saturday while babysitting two adorable twins, and there isn't any bio homework due.... I LOVE THIS SCHEDULE!

So yeah, Monday down, 4 days to go. I can deal with that. Actually, I wouldn't even be counting down days if I didn't have my Italian group on Saturday. Man, I miss speaking Italian, and coming out of that group, which is Italian for an hour and a half is really tough, because for 90 minutes I'm back in Italy and then suddenly WHAM, I walk out the door saying "ciao" and "ci vediamo" and I'm in Pasadena. Which is a wonderful place. Full of English speakers. But it's not Italy, and that's what I'm missing right now.

But I have a possible job that'll help use up all that extra time between 3:00 when school ends and 10:00 when I go to bed, and tutoring once a week with a kid going through the court system, and I'm trying to get on top of reading just for fun again, and if all else fails there's always an episode of SVU on, so I think Saturdays will come zooming up at me every week.
