please be advised...

Well, my birthday ended up being really good, despite the disappointment of not making team. I went out to dinner with the guy I'm dating (he also gave me flowers and a gift certificate), and my magnificent roommates made an amazing chocolate cake for me. It was nice of them to think of me... and even though I still didn't get to be with my family it was great.

Wednesday was interesting too. I was late to my first class (it was okay) so I parked in faculty parking without the right permit... but when I got back to my car I didn't have a ticket! And then my car started having issues again. Last week it was in the shop because the oil light came on, and then this time the engine light turned on. I don't really have time to take it in until tomorrow or Saturday, so I guess I'll just have to deal with not having a car until then. Car maintenance is such a pain when you're single. Actually, no - it's just a pain, no matter what you are. Maybe we should all start riding bikes again.

AND... I've got some decisions to make again. I hate having to choose between so many good things. Majors are such a pain, why can't I just major in elective credit?
