I got a call today from someone who began the conversation with the query: "You recently visited The Melting Pot, correct?" Thoughts raced through my head: Could this be the girlfriend of the waiter I slipped my number to with the check? The manager calling to inform me I was no longer welcome due to sexual harassment? The waiter's mother warning me against being a shameful hussy and giving my phone number away so freely? 

Turns out, I gave out my number twice in one night and I have a better chance 

of winning a free spa party then I have of getting a date. Oh shucks.

It was a bit of a tragic day... I got a flat tire (or as my father so frankly put it to the mechanic: "She didn't get a flat, she destroyed it") on my way to take my exam. Luckily, because I was sick, I got an extension on the original day to take the test and it was just waiting for me in the testing center with no really start time assigned to it. 

Waitressing yielded $80, making it a decent night. My boss's dad and his 2 best friends are regulars in my section on Friday night and tonight one of the guys mentioned he'd found "a good Irish boy for you: 24, a state trooper, he's going to come meet you". I said, "You don't have to fix me up, you know". To which he replied, "Well you're not doing so hot on your own". Whaaaaat. But it's true... oi.

• Room slightly better. very slightly. I really just pushed everything off the side to make room to dance.
  
• Health (I got the flu 10pm Monday night) improved; sore throat remains.
• Test Studied for about 5 hours today, felt more comfortable before that, taking it in the AM.
• Essay well, I got some research done...
• Current idea for husband An Alaskan fisherman, thanks to watching the entire first season of The Deadliest Catch over the past 2 days.

My room has fallen into terrible disarray:

I think I will go to the laundromat tonight, wash the whole lot, and study at the same time.

Today, while waitressing, I lifted my leg up onto a chair. My inseam ripped exposing my inner thigh. 

I need to start exercising more...

Well, today I went to the library to be productive. On the way in, I jammed my toe making me shriek and stumble 4 times, floundered to regain some semblance of balance. A man asked me if I was okay and I said "That's why I never did well in dance class", and I ran away. (I have never been in a dance class.) 

The mistake I made was bringing my laptop with me when my goal was to escape distractions. I did get more done than I would have at home which is a  + . But I do need to break down exactly what needs to be done over the next few days so that I have a sense of urgency to get my rear in gear.
