I'm getting a new car. It's "dark sapphire blue", has XM radio, power locks and lots of space and is adorable. *Sigh* I'm kinda in love. Those shifty car salesmen tried to get us to buy a car of the same make (Hyundai Accent) that was Charcoal Grey and didn't have all the features we wanted, so we left to go look somewhere else. By some MIRACLE, they just HAPPENED to find one (after much annoying questions by people who weren't even listening to us) that had all the features and was BLUE! Yay... stupid jerks. It didn't cost as much as the original car, which is why they didn't want to sell it to us, so that's a second YAY, too.
I deposited my first paycheck (EVER!) today. Hehe. I feel so accomplished, even if I am getting a dollar less on hour than I thought I would (grrrrrrr!) and even if my job (at a daycare, as a teacher for 3 year olds and, more and more often, 1 year olds) makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes.
I'm so ready to go back to Athens! We'll have our apartment, I'll be able to further explore my archealogical ambitions, I'll be around boys (my age! haha... *cough*Kayla*cough), and Sis and I will be bellydancing again. Plus, I'm psyched about Georgia football season and Ice Dawg hockey season.
And that leads me to the passing of our beloved mascot Uga VI ("Uga V's Whatchagot Loran?") this past weekend. He'll always be my Uga, a strangely significant reason for me coming to the University of Georgia, and the most victorious mascot in UGA history-- leaving Georgia ranked preseason #1. A damn, damn good dog.
To Uga VI... Rest In Peace.
