yawn...

ok, so i just noticed that if you go too far back in my posts, the layout changes and gets all screwy. i really should take the time to fix it, especially given the topic that i'm about to post on, but i really just don't want to. perhaps at some point i might, but i dunno. we shall see.
with that said, on to my real post...

i'm bored.
i realized today that for the next three weeks i have nothing that's required of me to do. i don't have school, i dont' have a job, i don't have kids to watch after...nothing! school doesn't start until the 17th of january. i am supposed to start working for the school's photo lab next semester, but i have no idea when that will actually go into effect, other than not til after january 3rd. it's kind of an odd feeling really.
so what am i to do with myself over the next couple of weeks? i still need to finish unpacking, that's a must, but what else should i do to keep myself entertained? i've been wanting to get into, don't laugh, scrap-booking, but i really don't think that right now is the best time to start a labor intensive project that i will just have to push to the back-burner once school starts up again. no, i want something that i can pick up and put down with ease, and that doesn't demand and/or require time constraints.
i'm all excited because i'm taking a raquetball class next semester, but it's really making me want to start now. so i want something of that sort...not necesarily a sport, but something that i can learn or do or whatever, when i want to, and that can hold my interest for short and long periods of time.
i could always go take pictures, but if i do black and white i won't be able to process the film til the beginning of the semester, and that's no fun. on the other hand, if i do color, then i not only have to pay for the film, but i also have to pay for the processing and prints, and without a job, i don't really feel right paying for that stuff.
there's always video games, but there hasn't been much out there that can hold my attention for very long. PGR2, of course, but there's only so much racing one can do in a day. i never did finish playing through Rygar...it was fun, but it really seemed to get a bit monotonous even just in the few hours i put into it. Soul Calibur II always calls to me, but has the same problem as PGR2...there's only so much ass-whooping a girl can do in a day. i could always install half-life on my comp and stop putting off playing through blue-shift. then again, it's more fun to give rob shit about his game when i still have never played it.
so i dunno. i'm sure i will figure something out, however any suggestions are welcome.
i have to go buy one last gift for rob today. i know i said i was done, but then i found something that i know he would never buy for himself, and that i really want him to have, so he'll just have to deal with it. :) i've been good though, and even with this purchase, i have stayed way under my budget that i set for myself this year. trust me...that's a big feat for me. :)
alrighty, well it's lunch time. later!
