Freedom!

I just informed my manager that I was out of here on the 26th. Impromptu, spur-of-the-moment admission. And I realized, when I said it, that I could most likely afford being out of work for at least a week or two once school started up. And even if the job I was looking at a block or two from campus and the academic assistant position thing fell through, I could at least look out for a work study gig, craptacular though it may be (for some bizarre reason I was only alloted $900 in work study aid for the entire 2004-2005 school year; who the hell can live on $900 for 9 months?!??).

God, I can taste the freedom in the air as I use the POS to type this up.

And now, for my random moment of the day

Scene: Fredericks is lying on her bed, reading Parable of the Talents

knocking
Bro:[Fredericks], you in there?
Fredericks: (exasperated) What is it?
door opens
Bro: (excited) Hey, put it on channel 7!
F: Why? ::picks up remote, puts it on channel 7::
Bro: Who's that??
F:(bewildered) Er, the guy from Lord of the Rings. The hobbit.
B: Which one?
F: Sam
B: That's right. ::finger snap, okay sign, general exuberance:: "Mister Frodo..."
abrupt exit, door slams behind him
F: ::dies of laughter::
