Nat,

QUICK QUESTION: Why in the world did I repaint this desk (with magic marker . . . what did I think I was doing)? I keep getting marker/paint on myself and that is much more annoying than looking at the nonpainted part. Next time I'll just have them drag a new one in here.

So, guy, I went to pick Ericka up from the bus station and guess who else was there waiting to get into a taxicab. . . . why, Angie Shaw. So, I took Angie by her house and then took Ericka to my "crib." We farted around there and then I had to go back to campus for my meeting. Speaking of farting, I really don't know why I get this gas. I don't even know what I had to eat today: a normal Subway sandwich, some potato chips, and an apple juice. I wonder if apple juice gives me gas. Maybe I'll stay away from it, huh?

Ok. So, at the meeting, I found out that this new arrangement of our department may not be all that it's cracked up to be. We actually do have to do the doggone 10 hours of multicultural training with each staff member. I haven't met the person who I'm working on it with, so I don't really know what I'm supposed to do. Well, after the meeting I went to try to get my car registered but it costs $45 and you still have to park across from the stadium, so I paid $15 and can only park on campus after 5pm. What a bargain, but I'm nowhere near my office!!! I had to pay $5 to have my stupid photo card redone. I'm just glad it is all over.

I'm trying to drive Ericka up the wall. She actually thinks that I'm going to be nice and let her sleep in my bed, while I try to sleep on that ole uncomfortable couch. She really has another think coming. I have never in my life been allowed to sleep on the bed, while the other person slept on the ole uncomfortable couch. I slept on the floor at your place, with Shawna, and only once slept with Karyn in her bed with her (no comment!). Even with Tracey, she made my sleep in her roommate's bed. I definitely would have been on the floor if Devendra (don't ask!) was in town.

Well, guy, I gotta run. Another exciting staff meeting. Can't get enough of those. Did you get those pictures of Teddy I sent? Let me know if you didn't.

Be good, guy.

Grant.
