Well, turns out that UPS either ignored my note that said to leave the package at the apartment manager's, or assumed that the note, being signed by me, was good enough signature for it, because they left the little box between the back door and the screen door. I was happy with this result. I now have my zills (even though I need to put the elastic on them, size it to my fingers' widths, and sew it closed).

Is it bad when the secretary at the office of the college of Arts and Sciences knows my name? I went in there today and she said, "Hi, Julia." I guess I've been in there a lot for changing majors/minors, independent study questions, and lots of other general questions. Heh.

Will everyone else go to The Regents' Scholarship page and confirm to me that it says $1000 per semester? I just got my bursar bill and only $750 was paid to me, which is definitely a lot of money, but I added a class this year specifically because it brought my total to right around $1000 and it wouldn't raise what I had to pay that much. It turns out that I'm going to have to ask my father for almost twice as much each month as he paid last year to cover things. =P

My hoodie treated me well tonight. It was dry by the time I left for dance class, so I wore it over my sports bra for a top. It's very warm (yay), so that I even had to turn on the AC in my car to keep it on!! That's pretty amazing.

While I was gone, Matrix decided that my History of Science course packet was tasty. The back cover is all bitten and eaten. Luckily it doesn't look like she got into any of the actual material.

Why is it that any time I try to share something I think is greatly wonderful with someone, they blow me off? My mother got me a copy of the CD An Evening of Yes: Music Plus (the band's name is Yes, if you haven't heard of them or didn't figure it out), which is a kickass live CD of their last tour with all the original band members (Bruford, Anderson, Wakeman, and Howe) and it features a solo by each of the members. Now, Rick Wakeman, the keyboardist, is wonderful. I don't have words to describe how fantastic this music is, and I want to share it with everyone. I played it for Karen in the lab and she just seemed "eh" about it, which kind of disgruntled me. Then when she and Brendan and I were at her house, I wanted to play it for Brendan, and even though we put it on, after about 30 seconds Karen put a homework problem in Brendan's face and he stopped listening. Does no one want me to share my wonderful findings with them? It took long enough to get Brendan, Chris, Chris, and Thom to watch Cast a Deadly Spell (a movie everyone should see), even though I ranted and raved about it. Is my taste that bad? I'm rather confused.

I did think the 30 seconds I heard were really cool... It can be really hard to get other people to look at/hear/watch the things you like. I find that it's especially hard when the other people are me. I'm a little wary of that, because there's so much I like and so much in my head waiting to get out that I really can't be that interested in the things I don't know anything about. Which is not to say I don't try some.

Well it seems that you guys share lots of cool things very often, like listening to whoever that guy was during Gaea Spore practice when I showed up on Tuesday night... I wouldn't feel right popping in a CD during practice while we were talking about stuff and saying, "Hey everyone, listen to this!!!"

I guess it's easier to share cool things when you live together. I certainly feel out of the loop of "neato stuff" information sometimes.

Ah, but that's just it... I have no problem playing things for other people. It's having things played for me that can be hard.

heehee

I promise, if you listen to this, you'll be impressed. And maybe you'll write some kickass piano/keyboard music to scare me ;)
