Yesterday, I planned to go practice piano for a little bit in between practicum and class. I decided that since I didn't have a lot of time, I would just park in one of the 30-minute spots outside the music building (no, this is not a parking ticket story, though it easily could have been). So... I'm driving to the lot and a girl in a car pulls out of the lot right in front of me (no looking) as I'm about to turn in. She proceeds to take MY 30 minute spot, the only one left, while I swore at her. To drive around to the residential area and then walk to the building would now take too much time, so instead I went to Kaldi's and got some iced tea and sat in my car next to the park with the windows cracked listening to NPR. I missed out on practicing, but it turned out to be a nice little break from routine.
In other news-- Hilary decided to let each of her bridesmaids pick what style of dress to wear and she chose the color (she's still deciding between blue/green and pink). I think this is a good plan, as hopefully everyone will be comfortable, yet still coordinated.
Spring Break is next week and I leave for Williamsburg on Sunday. I am going to sleep a lot and watch cable television. AND I'm going to DC for a day to see long-lost (but not forgotten) friends. I love Spring Break.
