Day One hundred fifteen

by V.E. on July 4th, 2006

filed under 5reasons

  1. Independence Day (observed) = free fireworks!
  2. Got my Magic Bullet blender in the mail yesterday. I paid only $29.99 (+ s/h)!
  3. A dirty clothes basket. I realised while at Bennett’s that it’s nice to have a separate space to put dirty clothes.
  4. Actually WINNING an argument for once (and about abortion, no less).
  5. Hanging file folders, which make everything easier to organize.

2 July 2006

  1. Our REAL Independence Day. July 4 is actually just Independence Day observed.
  2. Playing catch with Bennett and his father and brother…
  3. … none of whom laughed at my pathetic catching and throwing…
  4. … and even encouraged me when I did well. I was really worried about making a fool of myself.
  5. Spaghetti for lunch, ravioli for dinner! How much better can it get?

3 July 2006

  1. Almost left my train ticket at Bennett’s house, but went back for it before it was too late.
  2. Even though it was a tight schedule, I did NOT miss my train back.
  3. Once back at school, decided to get some exercise (and save money!) by walking to the apartment.
  4. Even with my long walk from the station, I did NOT miss (the re-re-repeat of) Solitary. Four players left!
  5. Already half done with the homework of the first half of the first week of my second summer class.
