you know, some people don't like mondays. i really can't understand why, because today was pretty good. actually, mondays in general tend to be happy.
well, it didn't start out all that happy. i scared the (pardon my language) bloody crud out of myself when i went to stop and found out that i was on black ice! i slid into the highway and very nearly turned a donut. i am still thanking God that there wasn't a car there. not to mention that this was my first time driving on icy, snowy, icky roads. i'd driven when there was snow on the ground before, but the snow didn't affect the roads. (i just backed our twelve-passenger van into a five-foot drift, but i try to forget that.) so the 30 minute drive to band became a very stressful 40 minute drive. i could have done without that...
but then chemistry got happy. :-D we have finals next week, and so we aren't learning much new material. we took our final exam and quiz during the two weeks prior to this one, so now it's just tying up a few ends, a 2 hour final next week, and i am DONE with chemistry! :-D very happy. although, i have actually enjoyed it.
after work tonight, i got together with finwe and huor and we played games for about 3 hours. we played power grid, a game that sounds really complicated when you try to explain it, but is actually not as bad as it sounds. second place. :-D we also played settlers of catan with the fish and the river. tied for second...hey, not bad, considering who i was playing. then we cracked a new video game that finwe had gotten. it was rather annoying when the game kept dropping me in different locations after i died. it would drop me in the same place enough times for me to figure out how to get to the flag, and just as i would be nice and happy in my knowledge, it would start dropping me somewhere else! other than that, it wasn't that bad. actually, if it weren't for that single annoying fact, i liked it quite a lot. and if you took away that single annoying fact, i probably would have died just as much. i'm not all that great at video games. ;-) i've gotten used to it...so i just enjoy trying to do it and ending up dying. i think i died 100 times in the 35 minutes or so we were playing. h3h...how do i explain how much fun i have dying constantly while playing video games? it sounds rather odd, i know, but it's the truth! maybe it's the fact that i've accepted that i'll never be even average (or maybe the fact that the last time i'd touched a video game controller was three months ago, and that i have no hand-eye coordination to speak of).
and for those who would like an update on how the newest member of the family is doing, adena seems to be settling in fairly well. it's odd though...if i'm around and mom isn't, she follows ME around, and she is constantly licking my hand and looking up at me with those big puppy-dog brown eyes. she and zinn are rather comical...she's barely half his size, and seeing them together is like watching a dog and a puppy. with zinn acting like the puppy. (zinn is a newfoundland that weighs somewhere around 100 lbs. he stands as high as my hip.) i think she's beginning to work her way into my heart...
anyway, it doesn't seem like much of a day, but it was a good day.
g'nite, all.
