Today was meh! Woke up for my "Monday" at work. What's worse is that I had to sit at the IRS office for another hour, just to hand the Asian lady my paper and hear her chastise me for owing money, with just cause, even though I couldn't understand a word she was saying and I didn't have the time.

The only real excitement was the fact that I bought my STAGECOACH FESTIVAL tickets!!! So excited for it. Also bought a camping spot. Anyone else that is going, hit me up! We got 300 square feet and we can cram as many people as possible into that spot! It's a good party, and anyone that knows me knows what an "epic" night I had last year! No repeats will be had this year, but good times will occur!

After work, I headed home to make dinner for my dad and me, which was nice. I attempted Dijon and Parmesean crusted chicken breast, with corn and creamed spinach. It wasn't bad. Pictures on facebook of my cooking. We also watch Valkyrie. How did I not know of this attempted assassination of Hitler? Must have been asleep.

After the movie, my dad left for work at The Happiest Place on Earth! and I watched American Idol and House! This was pretty much it today. Zzzz. Time for bed now. Until tomorrow, there's day 26 of 365!

(are there actually 365 days this year?)

Waking up to rain is SO much more difficult than waking up to sunlight. It makes me want to just stay in bed. But alas, I got up and headed to work. I had to take an alternate route, cause this crazy huge storm that SoCal is getting is making everyone retarded on the freeway. Got to work about ten minutes late and headed straight for the coffee. Mmmmm! Nothing special happened beyond getting a free soup for lunch at work.

After work, I headed to the grocery store to pickup a bunch of stuff to start cooking again. Ralph's ended up having a sale and I wound up leaving with $100 worth of food, with a few spices and supplies. It should last me at least a week. So I hope to save some money, compared to what I've been spending anyway. (Oh yeah, and I bought some cinnamon toast crunch. Ralphs brand, but whatever. Parents didn't used to buy that "sugary crap." It's nice being on my own haha)

Once I got home I cleaned up the kitchen and attempted a baked mac 'n cheese, with cream corn and ham. The mac ended up being a little lackluster, but it was still cheap and decent, and I got a ton of leftovers. Op! Hold on, time to put the laundry in the dryer. Must be a Thursday night.

That's about it for the day. I'm going to go grab a book now and see if it interests me. You can read why and what it is below. I wrote the following earlier today:

An update on my grad school decision. I'm 70-30 in favor of going to grad school.

Looking back at college, I wish I had a better idea of what exactly I wanted to do when I graduated. I also wish I would have taken it more seriously. I had a lot of fun, that's for sure, but amazing grades and the retention I should have had would sure make my decision to go back to grad school a WHOLE LOT EASIER! I feel like I should practice studying something now, just to get in the habit of studying! But at the same time, I feel like I should WANT to study something because I enjoy it, not because I have to! I've just never been a fan of SCHOOL. I'm more of a fan of DOING something to learn it. I guess grad school, for what I want to do, is MORE doing than any other schooling I've done, but it's still going to be a ton of school. GRRR. I think I'll get some old anatomy/physiology books out and study them tonight and see if it still interests me.

Until tomorrow, there's day 21 of 365.
