An announcement!
Jun. 29th, 2007 11:58 pmI got my acceptance letter for Pharmacy School!
I was getting worried there for awhile...the letter never seemed to show up, and then it finally showed up this week (along with my deepdiscount.com order, which was also nice!). I came home from work and my dad and brother literally shoved the letter at me to open up...@_@ I'm almost surprised they didn't steam it open.
Oh wait...they can't. Because for the last week, we haven't had a kitchen.
Yes folks, that's right...we've been the victims of a kitchen remodeling. New counters in both the kitchen and the bar (say goodbye to the ugly pink tile! XD) were installed this week, along with a new microwave and oven/range. Considering everything we have was original from when the house was built around 20 years ago, it was time to start replacing stuff. Except now our front room is filled with the drawers and cupboard items from both locations, which is kind of scary.
Oh, and Yosemite was wonderful. The weather was beautiful the whole time, even though the falls weren't going very well. And we visited Hetch Hetchy for the first time...which was nice except for the fact that after reading John Muir's writings about it, it's depressing to think that a valley of such wondrous natural beauty (Muir refers to it as the "little Yosemite") was submerged and turned into a reservoir to supply San Francisco with water. I hope that someday the valley can be restored to it's original state, though that will assuredly take a very long time indeed.
But on a more fun note...we made smores over the campfire, which is something I haven't done in ages! Unfortunately, on one of the hikes we took, I fell and banged my hip...it was pretty sore for a couple of days afterward too...-_-
And my great buy for the day = MeruPuri manga (all four volumes in good condition with no spine creasing!) from Tom's Used Books for $12!
