#1285 – all but $50

This was posted over 23 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

today’s friday the thirteenth. ooo. spooooky.

today is also payday – with the addition of my paycheck today, i’ve got enough to pay about all but $50 – 75 worth of my tuition bill, lol.

i worked half a day on tuesday so i wouldn’t have to work all day tomorrow, but because of schedules and so forth i’ll have to work tomorrow all day anyways. looks like that extra half-day will finish up my tuition bill, hehe.

i was talking with a guy in my management class – he might buy my handspring from me used for about $80, and i can put that toward getting one with a rechargable battery and updated software that’ll let me use my cable for using my cellphone as a modem, hehe.

i was making many jokes and felt like acting silly today (along with feeling something else too, but that’s for another post…):

professor: “in singapore, there’s laws against spitting or chewing gum, and if they catch you selling drugs it’s a public execution”

student: “they’ll put you to death for selling drugs?”

professor: “yep!”

me: “i feel sorry for the pharmacists!”

me: *acts silly and torments dan*

dan: “what have i done to deserve this?”

me: “lots of stuff, i bet!”

but one of my recent favorites is…

me: *looking at a bag of candy i got from OCSS* “hmm… i didn’t get a mint”

dave: “you can have my mint if you want”

me: “you don’t want your mint?”

dave: “nah, you can have my mint”

me: “cool, i like mints”

dave: “did we just say ‘mint’ enough just there?”

me: “i think we ‘mint’ to…” XD

a girl in my management class also told us today that in pakistan, when people go to eat at pizza hut, it’s a big formal occasion and they get all dressed up fancy to go out to eat at pizza hut, lol.

i went to the study abroad fair today. chatted with the guy at umbc who coordinates study-abroad programs – told him that i’d probably want to study in either the UK or in japan – and talked with a lady at this one booth that sponsors people to study all over the UK. picked up some fliers about studying abroad too. ^_^

and then after school, dave, his friend dave, dan, and myself went to eastpoint mall and played ddr with GER (“generic” eric ruth – i think his last name’s “ruth”, heh…). go us.

and now dan’s showed me where to download a bunch of ddr mp3s. go me. ^-^
