Up and down the bouleva-a-ard.
I watched a sunrise today. It's not often that I'm up before the sun, but I had a placement exam at 8:00 this morning in Burbank which meant my alarm went off at 4:30. I was going to say that I got up at 4:30, but that would be a lie. The Drews have a floor-to-ceiling window on one wall of the shower that looks out over the balcony to the eastern hills, and as I was showering, the sun came up over the hills and warmed my body. It was a glorious way to start the day.Two and a half hours later, I was at Woodbury University in a computer lab taking a computer literacy exam -- quite possibly the easiest exam I've ever taken. 20 minutes (5 for me) of Word processing, 30 minutes (I did it in 10) of Excel spreadsheeting, and 20 minutes (done in 5) of web browsing and email. I was waived from taking the math, English, and information literacy exams because I have fulfilled all of my math and English requirements and they figured that to do that, I must be able to use a library, I guess. 2 hours on the freeway for a 20 minute test. That was frusterating. My mom came with me and drove because I knew I'd fall asleep behind the wheel. I love my mom. After the test, we drove around Burbank to find the bank and a computer store, two places I will definitely be visiting next year. Guess what was across the street from CompUSA? An IKEA! Only my very favorite store. Only there can I buy a plant for my desk at work, a pot for the plant, a film strip photo holder thing, a candy dish, clothespins (for Europe), and a purse holder for $35. I was a happy camper.
I came home and photoshopped for a bit (I'm an addict) then I took a 3 hour nap. I pulled my sheer curtains closed and turned on the fan and I had the best dream. Cody was home and we were driving in the Sprite down Pacific Coast Highway. I had my hair in a scarf and big sunglasses on, very Amelie in the park scene, and Cody was wearing a white t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up and blue jeans, which makes me think the dream was set in the past. I miss that guy. Only a week and a day until I see him again. I can do it!
I think I'm getting another one of those throat things. For those who don't know, every couple weeks, I get chunks of bacteria and vegetable material stuck in my tonsils. As you get older, your tonsils shrink, creating little folds like in a raisin that collect bacteria, which is always present in our mouths - I don't have a dirty mouth. The bacteria multiply and collect more vegetable material with is their food, so after a short while, there is a little colony growing in my throat. It's quite painful and gives me really bad breath no matter how often I brush my teeth. The last two times I've had them, I used the end of a toothbrush to open up that little fold part and it all popped out, but I don't think I got all of it out, because it's been coming back more often. I didn't want to pop it out myself, but it was on a weekend both times and it was too painful to wait to see Dr. Bate. Here is a picture if you want to see what it looks like. It's pretty gross so I'm linking to it instead of forcing you to see it by copying it here
I don't have much else to say tonight. I'm going to go back to working on some backgrounds for Sydney's MySpace. Have a good night.
