ARGH! Word Perfect just crashed and it hadn't saved a backup yet, so I lost about half a page of stuff I had typed for this!

Here goes again...

Today is wonderful and sad.

Sad because my Fersis and lacy left this morning to head back to Missouri. I said goodbye to them last night after a whole day of fun, which was great because I hadn't gotten to spend much time with them up until this point. I'll tell about that in a bit. Also sad because of the above ARGH! Statement.

Wonderful because of a few things.

Firstly, I woke up with a lot less of a sore throat and congestion, it's all still there, and so is the cough, but it's still getting better!

Second: I got a call a little bit ago from the manager of the apartments Chris and I have applied for and they will have an apartment open the middle of next month! This is great, Chris had told me about the possibility of a house being available for free or at least cheap, but that didn't work out and so this is exactly what we wanted! It's a little earlier than we wanted but it's great! We will drop off our deposit today and I'll have to get my dad to come down and co-sign sometime before the 19th for financial reasons. So, in less than a month, I will have an apartment of my own!

Thirdly, we have no school today :) That means that I have a chance to do things I need to do, some shopping, apply to a few places to work this summer, and take by all the rolls of film from yesterday.

Yesterday: was great.

Becca and I went to our first class (so did fer and lacy) and then we skipped everything else (Just recital class and some work and handbells, and I got mike to fill in for me with the work and I have more than enough attendance to pass recital class already) and we went down to the coast to Marine Life so fer and lacy could meet the dolphins. We got there just in time for the dolphin show and spent most of our time at the top of the dolphin tank actually, didn't go to any other shows. After the show was over the trainers spent some time with them and most everyone stayed and watched that, then they finished and left, we stayed there to watch the dolphins and they started playing with us. They throw their basketballs (the small kind) out of the tank to you and expect you to throw them back :) It's really neat. They can also dribble underwater. If any of you ever have a chance to meet dolphins you should, they are really amazing.

After we finished playing with the dolphins (yay it just did a timed backup, I won't loose all this!) We walked on the beach for a bit, fer and I snapped some pictures there, also have some from the dolphins and from our eating lunch and getting attacked by SEAGULLS beforehand.
Also went to Barnes&Nobles and I bought a couple of books on Irish and Celtic legends, they were on clearance and have some neat stuff in them :) Also saw about a hundred other books I wanted to buy haha. That is such a bad place for me to go into. Any bookstore is. And to think, I'm applying at Books-a-Million!

So, yesterday was a great day, today promises to be wonderful. I am no longer depressed, so I am pretty sure it was just from being sick. But gosh what a mess I have to clean up in this room, when I am sick I just stop cleaning up my room usually, also I wasn't here much coz I was spending all the time I could with fer and lacy..

I'll post those pics to my webpage soon as I get them back. The colour rolls ought to be back by next week, black and white roll will probably be a couple of weeks.
