It is 2:30 AM, Sunday morning, and I feel as if instead of getting up I should just now be getting home, but I went to bed very early last night. It snowed. I generally hibernate in the winter. I didn't expect winter to come just a few days after wearing my capris and flip flops. So seeing the winter come I fully understood I needed to stay home and go to bed early. (J didn't understand, but that's something else)
At 4:30 last evening I attended...wait a sec(Cheers is on and I had to sing the theme song. Love that show)...ok, last evening I went to the theater for my first viewing of The Empire Strikes Back. I was asleep in 5 minutes. I did wake up in random intervals to text message and catch a glimpse of the screen. I woke up at one point and came under the impression that I had misunderstood Star Wars. It MUST really be a comedy. That's why I never got it.
I asked J if my thought was right. "Is this a comedy?"
"No."
It was a definite "no." I was thinking maybe that it was really supposed to be like that movie the Home Improvement-guy was in, oh you know, the comedy...I will figure it out later.
Anyway, I left knowing as little and liking as little as I did going in.

STAR Wars
Everyone who has read my profile is aware of my dislike for movies that begin with the word "Star." A local theater is showing 3 Star Wars movies-one Friday and two Saturday. J, the self proclaimed Trekkie has decided he wants to see these movies. Isn't he being a traitor by being a Trekkie and wanting to see Star Wars? It just seems wrong. Guess who he wants to go with him?

The Creepy Guy
Last night around 8:00 I was really hungry, so I called Meg to see if she wanted to get something to eat. She said yes and at 9 she came to my mom's house. From there I drove to Richmond. We went to Applebee's, ate and was out by 10:30. We were still talking a lot so we decided to go for a drive. We were in town and going down main street when I came to a red light.
A man with his friends was parked along the left side of the street. So this made it where if we both looked out the driver's windows we would be looking at each other. I kinda glanced over and noticed him staring. I ignored it. Meg was telling me about her vacation. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and he was still staring straight at me.
The whole situation was becoming awkward b/c I couldn't even look straight or i would be able to see him staring at me. Finally I looked over put all my fingers straight up in a hello-i-observe-you/alien greeting sort of way.
That was all it took. He was grinning this i-am-insane-grin. It wasn't a grin actually. It was a huge-show-all-teeth-smile. AND he didn't blink. (I would like to mention, I wasn't grinning at this point.) Through out the 20 minute drive we passed him multiple times. When we did he would have that grin slapped on and strare. Eventually it became funny and we would crack up everytime we seen him. I think I made his year.

Survived
Well, I survived this week which included:
- 6 page paper on immigration policy
- 6 page paper on Dennis Williams
- 6 page paper on Richard Branson
- 6 page proposal on current use of class sites
- 3 presentations
As the week went along my papers and presentations got better! I ended the week with my immigration paper and presentation. Immigration is very interesting topic I have realized and I think this weekend I am going to reward myself for said accomplishments!

Gym and Library
I finally opened my mail. Finally is put there to imply that I did not open it ASAP. There was a letter from the library. I was perfectly aware of the fact that I had overdue books. What I wasn't aware of what how overdue. Well, it seems they are over a month overdue and the library adds a processing fee to books over 30 days late. I work for a literacy program so this was bound to happen, but not 30 days and a processing fee. Anyway I am guessing I owe the libary around 60 dollars.
I went to the gym at around 7:15 in the morning. There was not very many people there which I both like and dislike. I go to the treadmill---as I usually do and almost the only thing I do. All of the treadmills are free. I am on it about 15 minutes and this man comes and gets on the one right next to me...grrr. It was like being in an empty movie theater and having someone come sit in the seat next to you. Why?
