Dad is visiting this weekend. Very awesome thing that is. Haven't had a day off to kick up my feet and sit back since I returned. Busy busy busy, running around...seeing all sorts of people. It is great.
I received my grades in the mail yesterday. B+ in Art History (better than I expected), A in 2D (considerably better), A in Drawing (expected), A- in Digital Tools (not so happy with that but I guess my video project wasn't up to snuff), and a VERY amazing A+ in Time Arts. I didn't know they gave A+'s. Yeah. I'm awesome like that. Go me! So my GPA right now is 3.8. Very good! Sure I'm no mom with her 4.0's all across the board but 3.8 at fancy pantsy art school. Damned awesome thing that is.
Left at 2:00 to pick dad up at the train station. Got there a wee bit early and I read magazines until the lady in the shop came over and said "we have a sign", indicating the "no reading in shop" sign. So I left, I wasn't going to buy a magazine. They are meant for browsing, not seriously buying. Bleh. Dad's train was a wee bit late. He arrived safe and sound, having also seen Across The Universe on the train. He had headphones so he could enjoy it.
We took the Max home, stopping briefly at Pioneer Courthouse Square to pick up some delicious Cheesesteak Sandwiches. We nibbled on them at home and then we put on the front fender. Fits perfectly!
After the fender, it was decided to head to Powell's for some expenditures. We meandered our way there; checking out a few buildings and things on the way (like the bronze horse outside the museum). Powell's was moderately crowded but provided a good selection. We picked up some boating books, a music book, and a book book for me. Very awesome. The streetcar was arriving just as we got out. We swung by Safeway on the way home and did some grocery shopping for dinner.
Not being hungry right away, we made Jell-o in the Jell-o mold I got for my birthday (I opened it early). Spilled a great deal of Jell-o but it seems to have turned out fairly well. Tomorrow we shall remove it from its mold.
Dad and I finished watching the Futurama movie and moved on to Love Actually. In the middle of it we made dinner. Well I did the majority of it but dad certainly helped in the end. We had fettuccine Alfredo with little shrimp tossed in. I have enough for another two-person dinner.
Movie finished up, I tucked dad into bed and now it is time for me to sleep as well. We got a big day ahead of us. Starting with breakfast!
