old habits die hard

and emily still hasn’t started her lit paper. but she did think about topics for her computer science term project. did she decide on one? no, not exactly…break is in 3 days, right? thought so.

i did laundry today, which shocked even me! i held out for six weeks. that’s 46 pairs of underwear, and i really could have gone through october break, but i was down to the gray ones that i don’t like. i filled three washers and two dryers, and still spent less than i would have at mount holyoke to do just one load! eventually, that might make up for the small fortune i’m spending on [i heart] ny gas prices! but that would be a lot of laundry.

i really like the fedex.com commercial where they pull the new-hire to do shipping, and he’s a snob and says, “i don’t do shipping,” and the woman assures him that fedex.com is easy and straightforward and he’ll catch on and he says, “no, you see, i have an mba,” and she gets sincerely concerned and says, “ohhh, you have a mba…then i’ll have to show you how.” wit. i also enjoy the dawn detergent commercial with the duck rescued from an oil spill. “if she could talk, she’d tell you how dawn saved her life” b/c the rescuers used it to clean her up safely. quack!

my last swim class is tomorrow, and i’m sad b/c i really liked my teacher and i don’t want to start fitness. it’s so much more exciting to get in the water twice a week. someone encourage me to go to the pool once in awhile and practice.
