My dad is sore but not broken.

He went to the hospital because he fell down a bunch of stairs (about 30) at church and he's lucky he didn't break anything. An ambulance came and took him to the hospital. I don't know what we would do if he got badly hurt. My mom is working extra long today because my dad is staying home. Tricia is going to work at 4 and my mom had a friend help her for a few hours this morning.

I'm doing a project on "Disinformation" for my MIT 243 class. We're making a website and presenting it to the class. I had to get to school at 2. My dad is in bed and he couldn't drive me so I paid for metered parking at school. It's $2.50 an hour and I only had 95cents, luckily for me, the meter that I used still had 10 min remaining so in total I had 30 min to park.

I walked from Huron College to UCC (university community center) and met up with Jillian, Mark and Karolyn. Brad couldn't make it because he went somewhere for the weekend (but it's thursday...). I had never met Mark before and I found him to be really friendly, and cute too. He's a big blonde guy that plays varsity volleyball. I saw that "Bible study 1:30" was written on his papers. I think that it's strange that this fact makes me think MORE of him.

We all discussed our project for a while and then I had to go because my meter was running out.

I wore running shoes today. They're really comfortable. Lately I've been wearing my highheeled black boots a lot because they go with my long/skinny pants (otherwise my pants would drag). I knew that my boots were uncomfortable and kind of scary to walk in because of the recent snow and ice accumulation but I did not realise HOW uncomfortable they were until I wore my running shoes today.

I was actually walking where I wanted to rather than just where there was no snow/ice/dirt. It was so freeing. I was walking with a bounce to my step and I even jogged a little. It's too bad that these wonderful shoes do not go with any of my long/skinny pants.

I haven't met a lot of people at school this year. Last year I met many many people, and now I've just lost touch with them. I think a major contributing factor is my having Craig. I just don't feel all that compelled to meet and hang out with new people. Especially since

I spend so little time on campus. I just go to classes, go home and then go to my next classes. It's different from last year where I had several one and two hours breaks in which I would go to UCC and see everyone. I don't have much opportunity to meet people.

I have class at 6pm tonight. I have to park my car at the mall and take the bus. Argh. hasslefull. It's better than walking though.

I'm wearing two different coloured socks right now because I couldn't find any matching ones.
