NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I just did a whole post on my week. And It was all done. And I didn't hit Post before I clicked on something. And now it's gone!!!! I'm going to cry now. It was an insightful, entertaining one too. Well, not enough time now to do it again right now. I'm going to go start my laundry, I'll repost once it's in the dryer.

Once again, after much pestering, and yes I'm looking at you Smurfette, I'm doing a quick update. My classes start tomorrow. Which sucks, but I'm also glad to be back at school. I moved into my dorm last Sunday, but I had gone back home for the week as I had to help move my sister into her dorm, since she goes ot a different school, and I had lots of errands to run. My car is broken, again *sigh*. I swear, if it's not one thing it's another. This friend of mine tells me today, you know why they call it a Saab? Cause you sob the whole way to the mechanic. Which is true. My ABS light had been coming on, so I took it in a couple of weeks ago to get it looked at. Apparently the ABS computer system is starting to go, so it's $900 for a new one, or $250 for a used one. Anyway, they made it sound like if I didn't get it fixed, my brakes would cut out on me. Which, naturally, scared me. So I was all upset. SO my grandma decides to call my dad, and that's like Hell freezing over, cause they can't stand each other, and asks him about it, cause he knows lots about cars. And those assholes at the shop LIED. My brakes wouldn't go if I lost ABS, they would just be like old school pumping brakes. So he called them and chewed them out. I paid them the $60 for looking at it, and still the guy tries to make me feel like I need to get it fixed. Acting like if I don't get it done now, they won't be able to get the part later. I basically told him to shove it.
So now, the new problem is that my radiator fluid has a massive leak somewhere. I have to keep adding fluid every couple of days. Once I get some money, I'll take it to my regular mechanic. He couldn't look at my brakes because his equipment for brakes can't do foreign cars. And this sucks, since I'm getting rid of the car after I graduate in December. So anyway, after I did my errands I came back to school yesterday, Saturday. I had left a note for my roommates telling them I'd be back on Thursday, which didn't happen. They were starting to worry. When I signed up for this dorm, I didn't know who my roommates were going to be. And I didn't care, I just wanted to live in this dorm, since it's apartment like. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, and living area. As it turns out, 2 of the girls in my dorm lived on my floor freshmen year. How weird is that? The other one we don't know. She seems nice though. Probably wants us to buy alcohol for her, since we're all 21 or over and she's only like 19. LOL.
So, my one roommate cooked dinner for us all tonight, Tacos, and a bunch of other people came over. The 2 girls I know lived together last year, so they have mutual friends. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We all chatted, gossiped about the soaps we watch, once the guys left. And just hung out. I had forgotten how much fun it was to just hang out with some friends. It's funny how small the world really is. And dinner was good. Except I'm hungry again. I think I'll go rummage around in my kitchen. So, was this update acceptable? I'll write some more tomorrow after my classes are done for the day. I don't have class til 12:30, so woo!! Except then I Have class from 12:30 to 4, which kind of sucks. And an 8:30 class on Tuesday/Thursday. Let's hope this will be an easy semester!!
