So, I'm looking at a somewhat busy-ish weekend - and it's all things that I want to do. I mean, aside from homework - and even that's not so bad, apart from the paper I need to write for math class about a formula that I don't understand. I think if I fake it and go through the steps (and also look up the formula on Wikipedia, because an explanation is bound to be there), and be very very articulate, I should be fine.
In any case, tonight begins my lovely weekend. I'll be going to see Macbeth at Blackfriar's and I have it from several reliable sources that it's going to be excellent. Moreover, a friend of mine works there and gave me one of his many comp tickets - so I'm seeing it for free. Afterwards, I may or may not be attending a St. Patrick's Day party. It really depends upon my mood.
My roommate has recieved her two-disc DVD set of "Tin Man" and we are planning on spending tomorrow watching it and doing homework. I have two papers that I'd like to get done, along with some research for my thesis. And fic to write. Mustn't forget the important things, there. Consider that I will very likely get about half of that done. That evening, I will be attending a performance of "Spirit of Augusta" that P. kindly got me a ticket for. I will likely be spending the evening with P. Who knows?
On Sunday, Roomie and I are going to Monticello, since I have never been there. It's going to be quite lovely - we're going to make a day of it. We will go to Charlottesville, probably pack a picinic (or I may spring for lunch in the Historic Downtown section), and prowl about the grounds of Monticello. There may be pictures of our Day Out. When we get home, I intend to accomplish any work I didn't get done on Saturday, and add Music Theory homework/studying seventh chords to that list.
Today has been a good day. I forgot my cell phone charger at home, and I recieved it in the mail along with a funny old photo that Momma found of me as an infant. I'm wrapped up in a towel (I had to have been about 4-months old) post-bath and Momma is holding me. She's smiling and looking as thin as a stick, while I'm sticking my tongue out around a wide baby-grin. Ah yes, I have been doing that since I was an infant. Anyway, today has been a balmy 64 degrees fahrenheit, so it's t-shirt weather - the first day I've been able to go without a jacket all year! I love winter, but this is nice, too.
And now, for the best news of the day - I went to the business office on campus today to settle my debt to the school for next semester. My parents had given me a check to pay that and still have enough for a month's rent, so I was feeling well-equipped to pay it, if not eager to part with the money. Well, come to find out that I had exactly the right amount in credit on my school account to pay the fee and spare my own wallet - I don't know where the money came from, whether it was the remainder of my loan or work-study or some random fluke, but I was elated at the thought that I have money enough to pay rent for the rest of the semester and May Term.
I don't have to scrimp and save - I'm not going to spend willy-nilly, but I've got MONEY.

I remember something like that happening my second year – I came to campus to put money into my bank account and I asked, somewhat anxiously, "When will I be able to use the money in the account?" The girl at the counter checked the screen. "How much will you need?" "$150?" (I had to buy books.) "You've still got $300 in your account." I must say, it was a marvelous feeling.
