Current song in my head: Ziggy Stardust-- David Bowie
Current mood: fine?
Hm... Not much has been going on lately?
Today I spent an hour on the phone with the admissions director of NESOP. He was very nice (he reminded me of a slower-spoken Brendan) and helpful. The basic gist is that it sounds really cool but I'm going to need a lot of money. Not nearly as much as for Lehigh or pretty much any other school, but still. The good news is, if FAFSA won't give me anything because I don't qualify as an independent according them (even though I am?) I won't have to reapply if I want to push back my start until Oct '09 (instead Feb '09). So yeah... They have an open house on August 10th and I guess I'm gonna try to go.
What else?
Yesterday I walked to a B&B near here (half a mile? a mile?) and took some pics of their goats and llama.
Hee!
I reapplied for a passport last week. In case you missed out on that one, it turns out the fire-safe lock box I had it in in my room at school was not leak proof. THAT was a fun (and costly) discovery. Anyway, I was told the current processing period is only four weeks, so I guess that's nice. Not that I'm going anywhere anytime soon...
Which brings me to Boston. My boss told me that his partner's mom lives in Jamaica Plain and she just renovated her place or something and is considering renting a room. 'Twould be sweet, I guess. I really REALLY want to live completely on my own, but that's probably gonna take a while. So if anyone knows of anywhere cheap to live or has any job leads for the Boston area, lemme know!
Also, I started an outline for the business plan for my diner. Only took me a year! If anyone knows anything about writing a business plan and anything else business related, some help would be muchly appreciated!
Oh! And I finally finished the desk that I was refinishing and got it up into my room!! It looks pretty awesome! I should post a pic...
I guess that's it? A bit of depressingness: within a month any friends I have within driving distance will have moved away. :-( All the more reason for me to leave as well?!?
Also, R.I.P. George Carlin. :-( *insert string of profanities here!*
peace.

Good Deed
Current song in head: Feelin' Good-- Michael Buble
Current mood: bored-ish
My mom and I were driving back from my doctors appt. this evening when we saw one of the neighborhood boys lying under his bike and crying. When I asked him if he was ok, he just wailed so I immediately jumped out and tried to lift his bike off. He yelled and I realized he was stuck to it. His shoe lace had gotten seriously wrapped around the chain and pedal, locking his foot to it. We couldn't get it unknotted and it was too tight to slide his foot out... Luckily two neighbor guys saw us struggling and ran over with some pruning shears to cut him loose. He checked his ankle and foot and he was ok, just a little bruised. We drove him up the street to his house and walked his bike back for him and we all lived happily ever after.
The End.
ps, Bike chain grease is refusing to wash off of my arm.
