An Update, Such As It Is

Lord, but the bus is getting crowded now that gas is $3.00 a gallon! I saw a couple local stations still at $2.98, but it’s only a matter of time, I’m sure. I picked up my monthly bus pass yesterday with KF – the SLO Transit office is only a few blocks from work, so we just walked down on our lunch break – so I’m set starting on Friday. Tomorrow is my Corporate Law final, so I’ll be driving. Last time for a while, though. The bus is pretty cool, though, as I mentioned previously. I’ve been getting a lot of reading done – I’m halfway thorough Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – which has been really nice. I have a ton of books I bought but haven’t yet read, so maybe I’ll get through a few of them before the end of this year.

In other news, I’m having to change my plans for JournalCon ever so slightly. I have one personal day I can use, but no vacation time accrued, so any other days I take off will have to be unpaid. I was originally planning on taking the train down on Thursday the 20th, and taking it back Monday the 24th, then taking Tuesday off to recover. However, I can't really afford to take all those days, so it looks like I'll be flying down to San Diego after work Thursday evening and flying back Monday (that is, if the hotel accepts really late check ins!), and just going to work on Tuesday. That way I can use my personal day on Friday, and just cut my loss for Monday. I'm sure it won't kill me, except that flying is so much more expensive than the train. And not quite as much fun. Ah, well.

Escape:

Reading: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

On the Night Stand: Watership Down by Richard Adams

Listening: The Ultimate Music Makeover: The Songs of Michael W. Smith, Jason Mraz Mr. A-Z, Relient K Mm Hmm, Sanctus Real Fight the Tide

Watching: While I'm really annoyed NBC moved The Law Firm to Bravo, I'm at least glad I happened to come across it last night at 8p.m. I'd seen that particular eppy, but at least now I know where to look for it!

Writing: I whipped out another DP fanfic - just a one-shot this time - last week: The Night Vlad Knew.

Studying: Corporate Law – the final is tomorrow. I'm trying not to freak out. So long as I pass, I keep telling myself, so long as I pass!

Afterthoughts:
Dear God, please just let me pass this freakin' final!
