Update on Raya…& some usual entry stuff.

Today’s update…

Raya called this morning to say she had made it to Grand Rapids [They skipped going to Kalamazoo…Works for me, that means she’s that much closer (About an hour)]. But…Since not that many people go North…[*shakes head* What is wrong with people…The North is wonderful…Then again, if a lot of them did come up here, they’d just bloody well wreck it anyway…And it’s getting wreck enough as it is…Blah]…So they only have one bus going that direction a day…Said bus leaves at 3:45 PM…L Which means she’s had an unGodly amount of time there already…And still has about three hours left to spend there. *sigh* [If Mum hadn’t had to return to work today…I would of launched a rescue mission. *kicks the shop* Don’t you people understand, it’s the New Year…People have things to do, aside from work.]

So…If all goes well…And the snow doesn’t decide to be anymore troublesome…Raya should be arriving about 8:50 tonight. J *nods* J
*crosses everything that can be crossed* Gods, I hope all goes well…She’s had such a rough trip. I don’t know if the other person that she spent a portion of the trip is still traveling with her or not…I know that they were going as far as Michigan, but that could be anywhere. *shrugs*

*has Welcome Home sign hanging* *has belated Christmas pressies under the tree [& in stocking]*
I just hope she feels welcomed, and at home. *nods*

Derrick called today…Implying impending doom for me and Raya, in the form of a visit from him…Though not until the week-end, or some time next week. *pokes him with sticks* Weirdo that he is. [He’s got drama going on (Then again, when doesn’t he?), and could use a bit of down time. For some reason, down time is having people beat on, and pick on him. *shrugs* Oh well…If it entertains us, and makes him happy, suppose we all win.]

Mum’s paycheck will be in the bank Thursday…Must pay some bills [Master Card mostly], then get some food for the house…I really do need to get that whole menu for the week+ figured out like I use to do. It would make shopping for groceries soooo much easier, and preparing of food easier as well…No more playing, ‘Let’s Guess What Is For Dinner’. Monday and Wednesdays my classes only go to 3:00 PM, so I’ll be able to be home to cook those nights too…Tuesday and Thursdays I’ll be in class till 7:30 PM, so I won’t be home till around 8:30 at night…Which means eating either on the go, or depending on what was for dinner…It might be something I’ll eat warmed up or cold [Admittedly, I’m a bit picking when it comes to ‘leftovers’]…Though I suppose if I’m the one making the schedule…I should have the good sense to put whatever for those days to be something I would eat, right? *nods* Then again, I also have to keep in mind that someone else will be cooking on those nights…So it has to be something that they are able/willing/wanting/etc. to make. Suppose something ‘soup like’ would work on most occasions. [Chili, potato soup, I would say stew…But Mum doesn’t usually make that anymore…*shrugs* I’m sure I’ll come up with something.]

Raya says she’s do a bit of cooking toos. *nods* She has already offered to be much of the helpfuls. *huggles her* Including looking after the evil Critters on occasion! O.o How brave she really is. *laughs*
No, they actually like her quite a bit, so they should be of the well behaved…For a while anyway. *pokes at them*

Speaking of Critters…They go back to school tomorrow. Blah…I don’t want to get up that early again. *pouts*

Though after the following week, twice a week I’ll have to be staying up…Actually probably all those four days…Monday & Wednesday classes will be starting at 10:15 AM…English112 (10:15-12:15) & Pottery I (1:00-3:00)…Tuesday & Thursday classes look like this: Ethics (1:00-2:30), Drawing I (3:10-5:10) & Aikido (6:35-7:30). Luckily, I don‘t have any breaks lasting nearly two hours this time around [Though it is an hour and 25 minutes between Drawing and Aikido…That will probably be search out food time.]…Which wasn‘t bad when it was warm out, but really sucked come cold weather. *nods* And I don‘t have any 10 minute breaks that push the time getting from one class to another, so no rushing, I can take my time, even then that means walking from one end of campus to the other…Which is what I have to do everyday, since English & Ethics are in Scholars Hall, and Pottery and Drawing are in the Fine Arts Building…And they are on opposite ends of campus. Aikido is in the Physical Education Building…Which I know is on the other side of campus, somewhere…Close to the Fine Arts Building though…I need to do a bit of looking around. Hopefully there will be a nice, semi-warm day between January 7th -11th, as I need to go and get my books yet, and look around to see where to find my classes. Raya said she‘d come with to get my book. J She likes the bookstore.

*looks up* Gods…That has got to be one of the ugliest looking paragraphs in all of history. *laughs*

Well…Suppose I’ll get my arse off here…I need to see if I can locate a AAA battery for Sonja & get a few more songs for her. [Had AAA batteries in my dream somewhere along my sleep…Maybe it’s a sign I’ll actually be able to find one…As it was continuously falling off the table they were suppose to be on in the dream…And I’m about to go looking for one on said table…As I know there should be one, if not two on there for real.]

And although I haven’t done it yet…As I’ve been sidetracked from the actuality of doing it…I do plan to switch my diary over to all notes again. As I figure, if anyone has something to say, I’m willing to tell them 1) Thanks if they are of the good & 2) You’re a bloody moron, if they are of the bad. *nods* After all, I’ve done quite well dragging the retarded remarks left on Raven’s diary over here to dissect.

So…Hopefully the next entry will be to say ‘Raya is here!!!’
Until then…I am out of heres. *skips off*

* This entry accpets all notes

*has just remembered…I need to make a new chapter for 2008 yet! *falls over*
