today has been a california heat wave…it’s 84 degrees at 7:00! heh. after enjoying the weather here for so long, today actually feels a bit warm. and to think in two months i’ll be living in houston, where 84 degrees is a summertime cold spell.
this woman from my credit card company just called offering me credit protection. i listened to her whole spiel because after all, she’s talking about a credit card i already have. but i really don’t need protection from injury or unexpected job loss…and i was thoroughly unimpressed that she was reading the whole spiel. now, i know telemarketeres are reading off cues or whatever when they call you, but at least they could make it sound like they’re excited. this woman spoke in monotone. she almost put me to sleep. and she was so bored by the whole thing that when i told her i didn’t want the protection plan, it tooks a moment for what i said to register. {sigh} telemarketers.
so in four hours, nick is coming to pick me up and take me to the airport. i’m going home this weekend for jes’s wedding. it will be fun to see my family and old friends, but it stresses me out a bit to be leaving school right at crunch time. next wednesday is the last day of classes, and finals run next friday through the following wednesday. i’ll be taking homework home with me this weekend. it sucks, but i’m have to do it or i’ll never finish everything. most annoying is that both aa271 and aa279 handed out new homework assignments today. you’d think they’d let us start studying for the finals or something. oh well.
