Christmas came and went. New Year's came and went. Christmas was odd, because we're normally the last family to leave we left immediately after eating. Then the rest time at home was just TV watching, shopping, relaxing. I did not get into my more "productive" reading as I would have liked. But I am into a few of the books I want to be reading. I went to DC for New Year's!! I took one of my high school best friends back up to Shepherdstown on the way. So we had fun road trip and then I spent time with BFF Steph for the weekend! It was relaxing, just chilling together. So it was super fun! Then I went home for a couple more days and came back on Wednesday the 5th. Saw Jordan that night, went to coffee with Kirsten on Thursday, bought books, went to the GECRC for tutoring, saw Stephen Feith for dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, then finished Eclipse with Jordan. So, it was definitely good to be back in town.
Wait? What about those problems mentioned? I never my truck in the previous blog, so here there are now and the span from when I left for home until the Monday classes began. When I leaving town, I was about 40 minutes out, I broke down... Six and a half hours later, I was on the rode again, with new hoses or something on my transmission stuff. (I don't know car lingo and I forget the words they had told me...) Then after the 8 hour drive, I was 10 minutes from home and my truck does the exact same thing. So I was truckless over break. It got a whole new transmission while home. I took my dad's car to DC, so the truck stayed home. Then I drive my truck all the way back to Carol Stream, getting off the exit 5 miles from my apartment, the Service Engine Light comes on and I'm freaking 'cause a similar thing was happening as before. I realized that it was different and the truck was still semi-drivable. So I took it to Advanced later and had them put the scanner on it. The next morning the truck got towed, I get a rental (due to the nice warranty on the transmission just placed in the truck), and I was in the rental until Monday when I picked up my truck. Then it was still being funny. So I took it back on Tuesday to the shop, and well it semi-disappeared, but didn't. So, I'm just accelerating lightly from 0 until I can take it back to WV.
So, that's right in the middle of all the things earlier. But then Friday night I had friends over to my apartment and we played Disney Scene It and started Baby Mama. Sunday was church and resting. Sunday night, I went to Jordan's service at College Church and went to Chipotle with the Libby girls, Jordan, and new friend Micah. Then I went over to Torrey's for some Just Dance 2!
Classes Started on Monday, but this week was semi-intense. So, I'll blog about it later. Plus, I need to start getting on to making my salsas for the CFM gathering tonight! Super excited to welcome in the new students to the program!!
