I'm going back to Los Angeles on the 28th of July!

I'll miss the band trip to Tahoe... however, I'll have a whole luscious week of freedom before RA training begins! Sam and I are making plans to paint the town red. Well, actually, I like red - I think she's more of a pink girl.

Today was spent... umm... well, we got rid of a 32" tv, a toilet, a sofa bed, a box of china, and an office chair. The Salvation Army must've just gone crazy with our generous donations. But one of the moving men kept on asking, "What's wrong with the tv? Why in the world are you giving away a 32" television?" He couldn't believe that... well, we just didn't want it anymore. Due to my change in the rooming situation at 'SC, I no longer need another television, and my parents found themselves with one too many.

I went to exchange my copy of the Pianist at Best Buy today. We started watching it last night, and an hour and a half into the movie, it went kaput. The DVD would not play anymore. Then, when we took it out, we noticed this smearing, foggy substance all over the disc that wouldn't come off. I was a bit nervous about the exchange policy. It was well over 30 days since my purchase, and as I stood in the amazingly long line, I watched the customer service rep turn away about half of the people who came to exchange items. I figured my chances weren't very good... but surprisingly, I was able to return it without problems. So, right now, Best Buy is in my good graces.

I need to go on a shopping spree. I found over $120 worth of gift certificates I haven't used. Wooohoo! It's like finding free money, but more exciting because you CAN'T use it to pay bills... instead they must be used towards my favorite hobby. I guess I just have to go to the Galleria on Monday, huh? Darn.

Monday is also the day I start at Vacation Bible School! Well, I'm not going to be a student... instead, I'll be a teacher. Sort of. I think I'm some type of assistant. Kari, the woman in charge, hasn't done a very good job of returning my phone calls. So, I guess I'm just arriving at 8:30 and she'll inform me of my duties at that time. Me and kids... hahahaha, that's a funny thought. But they need help, so why not?
