The Library

I had a hard time beleiving today was Friday, somehow. It just seemed too soon for the week to be over. Not that I wanted to keep on having class. I need the weekend so I can read until I pass out. Hahaha.
Anyway, this morning I had Bio- reaaaally easy. I thank Mrs. Leuchner evertime I go to class for teaching me so well. Yay for Plantwoman! Then I came home and read about Islam and took a lovely nap. Then to luch, then to Islam and then to the library for....getting lost and confused! Yay!
Oh man, the library is soooo big. And I had to get two plays out for Theater, but I wasn't sure if they were on reserve or if I could take them out. The syllabus wasn't very clear. I guess some plays are on reserve, but some aren't, so, yeah. Anyway. I found out that I can take the two plays out- they're Medea by Eurpides and Lysistrata by Aristophanes which turned out to be really bawdy, in case anyone was wondering- but the lady at the desk confused me and told me that the Euripides was in the special book collection, so I went up there and looked for it, but I couldn't find it, so I asked for help and they looked it up on the computer and were like, "Yeah, we have one in here, but there are other ones you can actually take out," so then I went and found it and the other play and was happy and felt accomplished. After that I sat in the academic quad for about fifteen minutes (reading the Aristophanes) because I had a Basic Music Theory Placement test at four and it wasn't worth it to go back to my dorm since the music center is righ between the library and Caz.
I have to say, the music placement test was not fun. In fact it was the opposite of fun, mostly because a whole bunch of the questions were like "Look at these chords. Which is a diminished seventh? Which is a 6-4 chord?" What the heck is a 6-4 chord? Then there was a dictation section that was not cool. A nice old lady played piano and we had to write down what she played. All we got was the starting note. Bah to that. The moral of the story was, it took an hour and I hope I place out of Music 111, because I can't take music lessons unless I either take Music 111 or place out of it, and as there is no room in my schedule for another course and I don't need the music credit (woot theater) I had better place out or no lessons for me.
After the test I returned unto my dorm and Sara and I got...Chinese food! I was massively yummy, but they gave me enough veggie fried rice to feed an army, or me for the next week. There were also yummy yummy dumplings which I enjoyed until Sara pointed out that there were shrimp in them. They were good....but, when I think shrimp I think back to the time at my godfather's 40 memorial, to the meal afterward and how it was Lent and they gave us nice vegitarian dishes with huge dead shrimp-like things on them with all their legs and eyes and other nasty appendeges that shouldn't be left on dead animals and, well, I'm not a fan of shimp, is all.
Then I called Kelly because she called me while I was out munching on Chinese food, and now here I am.
My fortune was: You are going to change your present line of work.
To which I say, duh. My business establishment is centered in Buffalo and, while I'm sure the services of my employees- you'll remember they're mostly male- would be in high demand here, I'm too poor to transport everybody out to Wellesley, soooooo it looks like I'm going to have to either open up a branch right here or move on to something else. Sometimes life's just like that, ya know? If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should devote my entreprenurial energies to next, please leave me a message.
Also, ping-guo means apple in Chinese.
