Time filler

I'm just gonna blog about nothing while I wait till it gets 4:30 and I can get the hell away from work! My boss is back from her week of touring European institutions so there is a little bit more work to do but not much. Which also means that there's more supervision than last week.

I paid my tuition and fees for the spring semester a.k.a LAST SEMESTER today. YAY! I did some other errands on campus as well and now I'm all set. I had to take 30 min off for that because my boss wouldn't let me do that on her dime. Not that there was anything I had to do here at the time but just in principle. Sometimes it's a little stretch to smile around here but most of the time she's great.

Weather is always a great subject. Last week, could have been Thursday, I was walking to the bus stop in the morning and it was sunny and warm and the snow was melting and I could smell the grass...the wet grass. It was like a perfect spring day by Finnish standards. Of course it's January and now today cold as hell, with the same sun and all... But the days like last Thursday always make me smile...my foot doesn't hurt as much, it's not as bad waiting for the bus and I find myself smiling. Funny thing how much a little sun affects you.

I'm reading the Twilight book and I'm almost half way through. It's kind of weird reading the book AFTER I've seen the movie because now I'm trying to figure out which supporting character is which from the movie. And it's weird having seen the movie because the book and the movie are not exactly alike. Obviously the director and the playwright made some creative changes so it's kinda different. Both are great, don't get me wrong but I think I prefer to read first and see later. That way i don't have somebody else's ideas in my head. I can kind of make up the characters and how they look like etc. I have the book with me but it's hard to read here when if I do and get caught reading my boss will say something about it but if I have no work and just sit that's ok. Like I said, it's weird here sometimes.

T is getting tortured by her dentist today so I have some time to myself tonight. I might watch few shows and read a little. Sigh

Why did I think Valentine's day was the 13th? I have my days mixed. Good thing El Viiru set me "Straight" on the subject. Even though Valentine's day AND her b-day are on Saturday the 14th and not the 13th, it doesn't mean there can't be any blueberry pie now does it???? I should probably start a countdown for blueberry pie now that I'm thinking about it...

So we did some grocery shopping this past weekend and went to a Trader Joe's we haven't been to before. A friend from work told me that this was supposedly bigger and better than the one we usually go to so we thought we'd give it a try. We went to the mall beforehand to get T something to wear to her gala and used her phone GPS to get to the store. On our way home, since it was a new area for us we used it as well and ended up in the...GHETTO! LOL! I guess it was the shortest route to home but I'm telling you...Paterson is not a place I wanna live in! We did a project for Paterson last semester so I sorta have a connection to the city but DAMN! While we're driving through the city center T says to me "I'm about to pull a Judy" and locks the doors! LOL!

I'm now all out of coffee but it's ok. There's only 40 minutes left of the day and then I get to go home and chill. Have a great week everyone!
