Doctor.
So lately (last week, mostly) I've been getting these bumps on my arms and lower back that look like (and itch like) mosquito bites, only they're not. I was freaking out that maybe I had scabies or something - ewww - so today I went to the doctor to get it checked out. Her diagnosis? I have a freaking staph infection!! So now I'm on horse-pill antibiotics for the next fortnight. Nice way to spend spring break :(

Moozick
Did anyone notice I put a music player on the page? Only got one song on it, but I'm not sure if it's only showing up my end. It's one of my favorite songs :)
Also, minor computer update: my mother managed to get ahold of the guy who sold me my laptop, essentially he said he'll work with me (whatever that means; I wasn't the one who talked with him, it was my mother, so I couldn't tell you), so this may mean more money in my pocket sometime soon...since I, of course, am first going to ask for a refund. Hopefully he'll agree to that.
...Here's to hoping?

I found an interesting site.
It's called postmormon.org, and on it you can read people's exit stories as well as post your own. I believe there is a forum of some sorts on it as well. You all might find this very interesting, so I decided to share it. Maybe you've already heard of it, who knows. Interesting nonetheless.
Today, while watching my favorite smutty gay anime...
...I was also downloading some music. They lied to me when they said your internet connection would disappear as soon as your computer connected to a P2P program. :(

As I promised, my itinerary for my trip!
I meant to post this later on Friday, but my desktop went blooie....AGAIN. So now Kyle's stepdad was kind enough to lend me a desktop unit; he's going to look at my desktop unit this weekend when we all do our usual DnD. From what I described to him, he says he thinks it might be a hardware issue...great. Oh, he also looked at my laptop - and the motherboard is fried. Literally cooked. Like, there's scorch marks on it and everything. So now I have to get in contact with the guy and see if he'll give me my money back. If he at least gives me $250 of the 300 I paid for it, I will be more than happy. But we'll see. If it turns out he doesn't want to answer my phone calls, then I guess I will just have to show up on his doorstep, huh?? I KNOW WHERE HE LIVES!! lol.
Anyways, enough of my computer update, here is my travel itinerary:
First, there...
...then back...
I hope the images are large enough to read; if they're not then I really don't know how to re-size them.
I've never traveled out of the country before, let alone overseas, so I've never gone through customs before or ever had to have a passport checked, etc. David, I know you've been through this before several times, would you mind giving me a run-through of a hypothetical airport scenario of what it's like to do all this? I'd really appreciate it, since that's the only part of the trip I'm apprehensive about (I don't want to look like a fool, yo). Thank you :)

Just a tiny, microscopic update because I don't have much time!
I bought my ticket last night! I'm going from the 19th of May to the 3rd of August, Phoenix -> Chicago -> Warsaw -> Vienna. I'm so thrilled, yo! I'll post my entire itinerary later when I've actually got time; I really should already be on my way to my midterm for my Shakespeare class - wish me luck! ^__^

Registering for Fall!
I registered for fall semester yesterday. So, I figured I might just take a few minutes to say what classes I signed up for (not that anyone really cares):
Japanese 201
Korean 101
Astronomy 111 / 113 (Lab)
SLC 201 (something about an introduction to cultural and literacy theory)
As you can see there's not a whole lot special about it, but I'm excited about the Korean since grammatically, it is exactly like Japanese, and I taught myself Hangeul just a few weeks ago ^__^
I'm sort of excited about the astronomy class too; I need to take a lab science in order to fulfill my Quantitative Science gen ed requirement, so I figure I'll take the least boring one. The Lab is on Tuesday nights from 730 to 10 (!) which sort of sucks but I guess since it IS after all an astronomy class that would make sense. In all, I'm signed up for 17 credit hours (which is fine with me). Though, I'm glad that I will have had a nice vacation in Vienna :)
Speaking of which, I wired my dad some money last night so he could go ahead and book me a ticket (since my bank will only let me charge things $300 or less, and the ticket is about $1100). My dad is actually being cool and paying for a good chunk of the ticket, even though I already have all the money. And he said he'd help me out with spending money for the summer if it turns out I'm a little short by then. I'm not really sure what to think; he said that when I get back that he's going to fly out here to visit for a week. I'm worried that he's just using it as an excuse to drink, since we can't really monitor him the way his mother and brother do. He denies it of course, but I still don't know what think because that's what he's done every other time he's come out here since he moved to Minnesota 6 years ago. Actually, when he was out here last May for my graduation, he hadn't even been in the state 5 hours when I caught him coming back from the check cashing place on the corner with a half-empty bottle of booze in hand. I love my dad but he makes it impossible to trust him. Does this make me mean?
Whatever, I'll deal with what happens when it happens, it's not even for another 6 months. I've been looking at fares on the LOT Polish website as their fares are the cheapest, and I've been looking up what kinds of airplanes I'd be taking....one of them is one of those epic triple-row planes!! Right now it's looking like I'd be going from Phoenix to Chicago, an 8-hour layover in Chicago (which sucks but there's nothing I can do about it) , then from Chicago to either Krakow or Warsaw, and then from there to Vienna :) I'm excited, yo!
