this morning i called UIS again, and they had the nerve to tell me that they just received my transcript from the U of I in champaign TODAY.

even though they sent it over a month ago. and then they sent them another one because they couldn’t find the first one.

very, very, VERY lame.

but i’m sure it will be sorted out – on to important news –

my friend jerri had a baby last night! lucy gallileo. brendan and jerri adore the name gallileo, and that’s what they wanted her first name to be. although it certainly is a nice name, and quite unusual, i’m pretty sure that lucy will be quite happy that gallileo is her middle name, instead. CONGRATULATIONS, JERRI AND BRENDAN.

ok, not good news – christine broke her nose last night! because she fainted. she shouldn’t be fainting. if you know her, please feel free to contact christine and hassle her about taking care of herself and not breaking anything anymore.

i’m off to davenport now, and i’m excited about the race. i wish i was doing it right NOW, as a matter of fact. last year it took me 73 minutes, i think, and this year i want to shave quite a bit of time off that. and, more importantly, i don’t want to be in TREMENDOUS PAIN for the last 20 or so minutes of the race, like i was last time.

because this is my second Bix, i’m going to get a pin. and then i get another pin after doing it for five years. but i’m not counting on that, no planning ahead, just excited about racing tomorrow!

ok then,

grace happy on friday.
