Today, I got a package.
Today, I got quizzed on chapters from one of the books inside that package...
Guess which happened first?
If you guessed that I got the package first.. you're wrong. I was really annoyed because I had asked the professor if I could borrow her copy of the book for a little while to at least start the reading before the weekend because I knew my package wouldn't get here in time... and she said no. Not only did she say no, she said I was irresponsible for not purchasing the book sooner so as to have it by the start of the semester....
Can I tell you the story of the books?
I ordered them on Amazon the first week of the month... giving them 2 1/2 weeks to get to me before classes began. I had them shipped to my house instead of my apartment because package pick up is a hassle here, and they were all scheduled to get there before I left...
All but two got to my house before I left... which is impressive because I had to order 14 books. Those two books came Monday (the day I left) so my mom shipped them Tuesday... last week. The shipper guy put the wrong zip code on the box... so my books went to Montana.. then they got rerouted to Colorado... and then to Georgia... and several other states... it was labeled so many times by the time it got here... I'm pretty sure the box saw more of the US than I have in my nearly twenty years.
So.. I got quizzed on chapters that I couldn't read. Luckily, I paid attention the past twelve years of English classes and could deduce the answers.. Thank you Mrs. Melton for teaching us about Literary Criticism and lenses and... everything. I would be starting this class failing if not for you.
Always,

It's been a long day... time to watch some Army Wives and pass out early. Video is my favorite song, as well as the song Jordan and I call ours.. mostly because EVERY time we got in the car together or... not together but near each other it was on the radio, we danced to it, and he once learned to play it for me on his guitar.
