today, yesterday, whatever.

yesterday, i suppose, was a big day here at the temporary casa. i enrolled in summer classes, woo hoo! first i had to drive out to campus and deal with the mystery hold on my account, which oddly enough may have netted me a future real estate prospect... but nevermind that. one of classes is the 2nd half of the intro-english class that i should've taken, oh, 15 years ago. actually, i shouldn't have, because i put in my time in AP english, took the stupid test, scored high enough that i would be exempt, which was the whole point... but alas. william & mary was happy with that, but my latter choice of college doesn't think that was enough. so i found a semi-loophole which allows me to take the damn thing at the comm college, where i was working on another thing anyway, at $86 a credit hour as opposed to however many times that... we shall see. sometime in the next few months i'll go see an advisor at VCU and find out whether i have to also take the first half. in the meantime i'll be re-reading "hills like white elephants" and "the yellow wallpaper" and suchlike, and paying for the privilege. gee, haven't i done this somewhere before? yeah. after, i actually got out into the world & had dinner with an old friend, who gently reminded me that i'm working too hard to be so broke. he's right. more on that later. this afternoon, i wandered next door to check on the reno, when the former tenant of my temporary apartment stopped by for her mail. happened to walk in on an argument about whether the ceiling fan had been properly grounded, and after i returned, i took a nap. had a dream... in such, i was sitting here minding my own business when some commotion happened and i was alerted that the building was afire, and i needed to get the hell out. in the dream, i was dressed as i was in real life-- naked but my favorite robe-- so here's what i grabbed: a pair of sweatpants drying on the bathroom door, my laptop (duh), my keys, the proverbial "box full of letters" (which sits right now next to the DVD player and contains correspondence from TAFKAMH and SLL), and then... i was torn. should i grab the CD book full of CW shows, or the pictures and ticket stubs? in the dream i then grabbed my favorite suitcase, turned it upside down to empty it of whatever i packed in it for the move, and... i couldn't decide. hmph.
