I finished my finals and am now in Maine for the week. I'd much rather be in my own apartment cleaning it up and watching bad tv guilt free (my family, parents and sister, did not approve of me watching "The Search for America's Top Model" last night, they have no appreciation for crappy televion), but it is making my mother happy that I am here. Plus I haven't been home for a year. Everyone is working (my sister is interning at my dad's engineering firm, she feels weird since she's a 20 year old female student working with 40 year old and up men, there's only one woman engineer at the firm, but she'll probably have to deal with the gender difference for much of her career, it's really fine everyone is nice, she just notices it). So I'm here pretty much alone all day, I do have a car, but nowhere to go really.
More random update
I had an eye appointment yesterday (thanks mom for making it and not asking me first), good news is that I don't need new contacts, bad news is that my eyes have developed allergies and I now have a prescription for really expensive allergy-medication eye drops. so much fun, at least I don't have to go to the dentist.
I did go and get a haircut today. It's the most like a "hair style" that I've ever had. My hair has always been one length, although that length has varied from chin-length to almost touching my butt. Now my hair is chin length with long layers and shorter pieces around my face. It looks good now, (I think) we'll see about tomorrow when I, instead of the hairstylist, does it. I don't know how to make it do the cute flippy-outy thing in the back. It's really not a drastic change. Denis hasn't seen it yet, I hope he likes it.
I finally broke down, and Denis and I bought a playstation on Friday, even though we can't afford it. (Friday was a big day for Denis we bought a PS2, ate dinner "out", sort of out, at the mall, and went to see the Matrix). The Matrix did not suck as much as I had expected, it was a pretty good ride, although not as good as the first one. Not a waste of my money, as a fellow grad. student had told me.
I've discovered that I don't like videogames because I suck at them and don't like shooting people. We bought Vice City to go with the play station. I also tend to get frustrated easily, especially when there are lots of police. It was best when I drove (I really liked the boat) and then Denis did the shooting. It's really Denis's toy, I prefer crappy tv, and games like Myst, or easy repetitive things like tetris, and this computer game that Denis got me whose name I can't remember, but I call it the "fishy game" and am somewhat obsessed by it. Denis said he bought a playstation game that I would like, I can't remember what it is called we'll see this weekend. Last Sunday we used the playstation and watched the Alton Brown "good eats" marathon on Food tv. It was great to be lazy, guilt free.
That's all that's really going on right now. I should enjoy my few hours of peace before my family comes home and begins driving me crazy again, Melissa is really the only problem, she's rude and mean to me, and I don't appreciate getting hit in the arm repeatedly. I miss Denis and my quiet (and dog-free) apartment.
