Today I was able to sleep in for a bit. I was able to sleep in past 7:30. It was nice. I had to go to work as normal after that though. But before going to work I dropped off my van at the local mechanic. I needed to get my oil changed and also have them check out a few things. But that left me without a car to get back to the shop.. so Andy came by to pick me up. I was expecting he would have his car or his truck to get me. It turns out he came to get me on his motorcycle. It was the first time I had riden on a motorcycle besides just going around the block. He wanted to go for a little ride first before heading to work so he hopped on the freeway and opened up the throttle. I looked down and saw 135mph and I think we were still accelerating at the time. It was pretty cool. Its a little unnerving not really having much to hold on to going that fast though. But I would really like to learn how to drive one of those sometimes. I don't think I would actually make it a vehicle for myself.. but I would at least like to know how to do it. Once we got to the shop the day progressed as normal. It was fairly slow today too, but it was good because we were backed up from the week somewhat, and Derek was gone today. We ended up getting caught up pretty well. After work Andy took me back again to pick up my car and I headed in to see what the bill was. I had them also check my brakes and my air conditioner while it was in. For them to check the airconditier they had to do a little more work so that brought up the Labor a bit. They ended up finding out that there was more wrong with the system then just being low on Freeon. The plastic flap that changes chambers from hot to cold is broken and stuck on the Hot section. The only way they could really have fixed it was to take the whole dashboard apart. I decided to just leave it for now. The brakes checked out ok though and the oil got all cleaned. The bill would have normally been around $80 for everything they had done to it. (They also put in a can of Freeon before they realized that it wasn't going to work). But while I was there they ended up having a problem with thier computers so I offered to fix it for them and I ended up getting a $30 discount. So it was only about $50 by the time it was all said and done. That was sure a blessing. After I got my car back I headed back to campus to work on some homework. I got about half of it done but then I decided to take a break and go to dinner. After I got done eating Han called me and asked if I wanted to go see a movie tonight. I still had quite a bit of homework left to do though so I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to, but I decided I would anyway. We ended up picking up Brittany and Han's friend Irene (and her parents) as well to come along with us. First we got tickets to go see "around the world in 80 days" But once we got in there and found a seat Britt and I decided we didn't want to watch that movie again. We just got up and went to another one. We ended up decided to see "Irobot". I thought it was a great story, there was more swearing then I would have liked though. There were also a few scenes they could have taken out that were totally unessessary. But anyway.. once that movie was over we met up with Han again over at the Drowsy Poet. We just hung out there for a bit. We then decided we wanted to go to a play that they were having over at Liberty tonight. I again wasn't sure if I wanted to go because I had all that homework still waiting for me. I didn't really even want to go to the movie. But I figured I could just do it tomorrow afternoon or something and decided to just go ahead and go to the play. Brittany wanted to go anyway and I was her ride home so I needed to be there with her. I'm glad I went though. It was a really funny play. It was about all of shakesperes plays bundled into two hours. They turned all the tradgeties into comedys. It was rather entertaining =). Once it was over though I had to rush Brittany back home before curfew. So we left promplty as soon as they turned on the lights. I ended up making it back with time to spare though. Allie was online tonight when I got back. It was nice to be able to chat online with her for awhile tonight. It had been like six days since she's even had a chance to get online... but it had been 28 days since the last time I was able to chat with her. of course I've talked to her a lot since then in person.. but I always like chatting on the net. So anyway, that basicly covers my evening. It was actually rather busy and I didn't even get to finish my homework. Lets hope that I can get that done tomorrow. For now... I think I am being called to my pillow. Night!
