and a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to B.! tonight we have much celebrating and gifts planned. also many desserts, which i will tell you about tomorrow.

yesterday i called UIS, which is my third part-time job now, and the English dept. said they hadn’t received my stuff from the admissions office STILL. i mean, this has been going on since JUNE. school starts THREE WEEKS FROM NOW.

i called admissions, and the woman alleged that she sent the stuff to the english. dept. yesterday. that is to say, yesterday she claimed that she’d just sent them.

i suspect that they were sitting in a pile on her desk, and when i called, she picked them up and put them into a campus envelope.

so i waited till this afternoon to call the english dept. again. they STILL haven’t gotten them! it’s beyond ridiculous now, i’m afraid. i asked if i could go over to the school and pick up the papers and CARRY THEM OVER to the english office. i should have suggested this months ago.

she said she was sure they’d be there by monday.

HOW CAN IT TAKE SO MANY DAYS FOR PAPERS TO GET ACROSS CAMPUS? DO THEY HAVE TO GET THERE ON THEIR OWN? ARE THERE WIZARDS LIVING AT UIS NOW, AND THEY’RE IN CHARGE OF CASTING A SPELL ON THE PAPERS SO THEY MANAGE TO WALK ACROSS THE QUAD?

i’m reading harry p. #6 too fast now. last night i stayed up till midnight reading, and now i’m over halfway through. no reading today!

i forgot to mention some stuff about running in the Bix last saturday, but no time for writing right at the moment. more later! perhaps tonight, when i’m NOT reading HP in bed.

nope, not reading.

not at all.

no pages.

maybe just a few pages…

ok then,

grace nearing the end of the week, although it doesn’t feel that it’s been too taxing, which is a good thing…
