So the highlight of my day was figuring out the conversion of a shot to a cup because my boyfriend has no measuring cups, and I want to bake brownies. Classy. [Ahem, 1 shot = .125 cups, by the way.]
It’s been one of those days where the world just hates you. It isn’t just today though, it’s been all weekend. Today, for instance, my car broke, and I had to call the VW shop to see if they could fix it. Apparently a cylinder went out and it’s going to be at least Wednesday before it’s even possible to have a vehicle again. Goodness knows how much this is going to cost. Oh, did I mention the car is only a few years old – no extended warranty, though. Why I didn’t just buy a Honda, I’ll never know.
But the car thing is how my day started. And apparently my concern about finals this go round were not unwarranted. Did I also mention that this weekend a surprise party I had been planning for the past two months completely fell through? Which is worse – not planning anything at all, or planning an elaborate party where nobody shows up? Happy birthday, darling.
And those are just a few highlights of the weekend. So basically, life sucks. But I’m still kicking, so I guess that counts for something. Seriously though, I haven’t felt this defeated in a while. This whole summer quarter was just painful and my main concern was keeping my sanity. Not sure if it worked yet. Guess we’ll see.
Well, I’m off to tend to my brownies. Pineapple upside down cake is next on the menu. Measuring out four cups of flour should be loads of fun with that shot glass…
