Ooh! So, today I noticed a tiny grill for sale at the grocery store--$10 for my own personal hot dog/BBQ chicken/s'more maker! I added it to my cart of groceries along with some charcoal and lighter fluid and then decided to make a night of it and get some HOT DOG supplies as well! I have never grilled ANYTHING before, so I really wanted to have an outdoor adventure on my balcony with this stuff!
I got home at 7:15, STARVING for some hot dogs! I took the grill out of the box!
I don't like to assemble things! At least, when I am feeling VERY hungry!
At 8, I was done assembling the tiny grill!
By this point I was too hungry to try and experiment with fire and lighter fluid. So I decided to save my first attempt at grilling for TOMORROW evening! BUT I still made a hot dog (on the stove!) and managed to play a little Phoenix Wright on the balcony!
And that was my evening!! I ENJOYED IT THOROUGHLY!

Yep, it was a real tussle, too! I was on a walk the other evening, and there were a bunch of MALLARDS going at it! Two were just rolling and tumbling and nipping (or maybe I should say beaking?), and two others were standing around quacking them on! So then I ran up to them, waved my arms and broke up the fight! I hate to see duck conflict!

As I was lugging my 20 bags of groceries up the stairs to my apartment today, I decided to check my mail on the way up--and FOUND TWO LETTERS from the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago!!! I nearly dropped my Grade AA Large Eggs!!! I raced upstairs to my door (still juggling the groceries!) and as soon as I got inside and dropped everything on the floor, I tore open the first envelope! IT SAID!:
Dear Rebecca,
Congratulations! The Admissions Committee is very pleased to offer you admission to the Illinois Institute of Art at Chicago.
You have been admitted to the Bachelor Degree program in Fashion Design beginning 2007, Fall.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Illinois Institute of Art at Chicago. Again, congratulations!
The second letter informed me of alllll the credits from my previous BA that would transfer (about 72 hours, which will save me around $30,000!!!!!)!!!!!
AND SO there was lots of jumping around, calling friends and the parents, ETC! Mom said she was going to TRY and be excited, but she would miss me very much and that we needed to have a talk SOON about "personal safety" in Chicago.
BUT IN 6 MONTHS I WILL BE GOING TO SCHOOL IN CHICAGO!!!
AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHasl;fkjasd;fljka!!!!!!!!!!

*PHEW!* I spent allllll weekend moving into my new apartment (mostly BY MYSELF too! But after some grumbling, my dad helped me with *some* of my furniture, at least!) But I am almost settled in! I got this nice, round, pink, fuzzy, soft chair to put out on my BALCONY for some ultra-comfy Portable Gaming--al fresco!
After some heckling and fist shaking at the phone company, I finally got my telephone working 5 days after it was supposed to start! THE ONLY PROBLEM is that it fuzzy jazz music myseriously cuts into my conversations all too often! I don't know what is going on with that! Can radio stations hack into phone lines or something?? WHAT'S GOING ON?!
EDIT: I just asked my boss about this! Apparently it is because my cordless phone is picking up a certain frequency! I wonder if it is the Bethel College Radio station! Which makes me think of if the radio show that I had while I was in college (EARGAZMO!) picked up on anyone elses' phone! Wouldn't that be teh sh*t!
Also, I can start walking to work now! That makes me really excited to NOT have to commute!!! >_<
I will post more later once I get my internet working at home! The internet at work is so poopy--I can't view or post pictures or anything!
Oh! And I painted my room "Lady in Red!" Time for a new poll, I suppose!
