Friday

Yesterday was quite the day. Apparently my phone's alarm didn't save when I changed it back to 6:30, so it went off at 5:30. (We went to campus early on Thursday to study some more for our midterm.) Spencer turned it off without looking at it so I got up and showed and when I got out Spencer told me it wasn't even 6 yet. It was nice to be able to back to bed for an hour! Then when Spencer got up to shower I decided to be nice and make us some eggs and toast for breakfast. This month one of my goals is to do something specific each day to show Spencer that I appreciate and love him. I tell him a lot, but I need to work on showing it more. It was a good morning and eating a real breakfast always makes you feel better at the start of a day.

Work was... frustrating. I've been the only one at work for the last couple days and on Thursday I have class all afternoon and evening, so nobody's samples were run. And of course, we get like 10 times as many plates as usual. So yesterday I had to catch up on all of that AND do the stuff I knew I'd have to do. I ended up being at work like an hour later than I was thinking. Plus, I had to deal with everyone calling and stopping by asking why they don't have their data. "I'm really sorry, but everyone is out of town except for me and I had class all day yesterday. I'm running them right now." One lady was like, well, will you guys have more employees in the fall so the turnaround will be normal again? Yeah, sure. There have been like 2 days all summer that we haven't had a one day turnaround on the data. And to my knowledge we're just losing an employee and I'm cutting back on hours. Not everyone was rude about it though. Most people were just wondering, but it's frustrating when you're already scrambling to get your work done so you can leave at a decent time.

After work was great though. Ben and Sydney invited us to go to 7 Peaks with them since we all have a pass of all passes. It was only our second time going this summer and from 6 to 8 pm is the perfect time to be there. The lines are nice and short. Plus, everyone's going to return their tubes to get their dollar back. We brought some cash to buy tubes off of people on their way to return them, and as we were standing there these two guys came up and were like, do you guys want our tubes? They gave us 2 double tubes for free! Perfect! They didn't have wristbands to turn them in for a dollar, so they must have bummed them off someone else earlier. We did most of the tube slides and the big half-pipe looking one. We were all starving by the time we left so we stopped by Ben and Sydney's so they could change and pick up some spaghetti sauce. We had noodles at our place so we all went back and had spaghetti together. Then we were gonna play a game of league of legends together. Ben finally convinced Syd to give it a try and I broke down months ago. It's totally geeky and kind of embarrassing, but the all the boys in the Otto family play it together (including their dad!) and they got Spencer into it when he lived with them. I figured if he had fun with it, then I could learn to play and it can be bonding time. I never yell at Spencer except when we're playing that game. He gets me to play with him once in a while though. And he doesn't play too much. Mostly when I'm busy or sleeping. Anyway, we couldn't get it to work on Sydney's computer, so we ended up playing a regular game together. We got Killer Bunnies a few weeks ago, and we hadn't had a chance to play it yet, so we broke it out and figured out how to play. It's not a game most of the Moore family would like because it's too complicated at first, but it's fun. A little weird, but funny. Ben and Sydney left around midnight and we went to bed without studying anything, but I think we'll be okay for our finals. We're gonna crack down today, Monday, and Tuesday. And if we need to wait until Thursday for the anatomy final we can. It was nice to have a real Friday night and to not spend 2 hours in open lab for anatomy!

No pictures because I'm lame and never take any.
