Drama

*sigh* Sometimes I wish I lived with guys. So much less drama. The last couple days have been the first days when you can go in to the office to extend your contract through to spring semester. Since I already have a spring contract, I wasn't worrying about it. All of us in this apartment were just planning on extending it through so we could all stay here and not worry about having to move our stuff or anything. So, without bothering to mention it to anyone, Madeleine went to the office and signed up for a spring contract for one of her other friends, for our apartment, which meant that when Mel went to extend her contract she was told she's been booted out of the apartment for spring. Kendra, Shelby, and I decided that we'd rather move into Mel's new apartment next semester (which is empty except for Mel and our friend Heather) than stay here when we've already been having so many problems with Madeleine and one of her friends. Kendra went and signed us both up for that apartment this morning while I was in class, and I think Shelby may have gone already too. Brandon and Zac have offered to help us move our stuff over spring break; it's only one building over so it shouldn't be too big of a deal. By that time hopefully the snow will be gone as well, so taking multiple trips between buildings with loads of stuff shouldn't be a problem.

We made Sunday dinner for about 15 people; I realized later that we only had 5 girls there including myself. Zac and Kendra made really tasty garlic mashed potatoes from scratch, Mel made the mac and cheese pie (from scratch), Brianne and I made the corn on the cob with butter/pepper/onion sauce, and Mel and I made the fried chicken. It was literally the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. Following Mel's instructions, I chopped up cilantro, one garlic clove, and green onions, then added a little white vinegar and water and food processed it to get it pretty fine. We marinated the chicken in that overnight. Sunday evening Mel dipped it in a milk/egg mixture, then in seasoning flour from Winco, and fried it. YUM. After the 5 or so people we didn't know very well went home, we brought out sparkling cider and had banana bread with chocolate chips that Brandon'd made for dessert, plus some chocolate/peanut butter ice cream.

Today is going to be a homework day. I have two chapters to read (two different classes), a set of questions to do, a lab to do, some drawings to draw, a test tomorrow to study for, a project to start collaborating over, a paper to print out, and a quiz to take sometime today.

P.S. (added later) I found out I have 5 labs to do today, not one *sob*, though I've already done 3 of them as of typing this.

I'm using Mel's MacBook Pro, because she needs Excel for some assignment of hers, and the Excel she has on her Mac isn't working with it for whatever reason, so she's borrowing my laptop.

The maintenance guy just showed up to spray for ants!!! Yay!!! I had to kill about 8 in the bathroom just this morning. I was about to go buy ant traps, I didn't think he would ever come.
