I managed to forget my Father's birthday yesterday, so I called him tonight. Not only am I profoundly grateful he's my father, but I'm profoundly grateful that he doesn't sweat the small stuff (and since every year he mutters about not really wanting to celebrate another year passing... yeah, my dad is not the party type). He is, however, the super duper dry and sarcastic type, and I adore that. It all works out.
School is crazy and relaxed at the same time. I went thrugh most of today trying to play a DVD on different devices (school dvd players, computers, my own laptop, etc) and came to the conclusion I think my own laptop dvd/cd drive is dead, and finally after all those other devices, that the dvd I was trying to watch was smudged enough that it wouldn't play. Hail the unsmuger!
right now my eyes are itchy -- too many graphics, too much pollen, and too few contact changes. I get to talk to distinguished faculty vising from Oslo tomorrow about our graduate program (yay!) and OH my god I forgot what happened monday:
( the to do list - done and undone )
