Last day of work in the forseeable future is tomorrow. I got my letter from the Safeway Gods saying that I'm officially on "Educational Leave" until April 30, 2006. Until I start work again, I will be a horrible penny-pinching, lunch-from-home, mooching-money-from-mom starving student. This might also turn me into one of those girlfriends that makes her boyfriend pay for everything, or, at least until the 20 free movies passes and the $50 Swiss Chalet Gift Card are exhausted.

I've spent the last week working and organizing my room. There's far too much crap piling up on the floors, so I decided to buy more furniture to house the crap. I ended up getting my ass kicked by the seemingly simple Swedish furniture I bought. Not only did I manage to snap two pieces of wood apart that were held together by dowels, but the dowels themselves broke and got stuck in those little holes and I couldn't get them out. Enter Barrington *cue theme music* with his cordless drill and McGyver Complex. The broken dowels were removed and we returned to Ikea for replacements. And new glassware. And a teapot. And a jewellery box that has turned into a two-colours-of-paint-plus-sanding project. This was not my idea because I generally wouldn't buy something if it wasn't manufactured in the colour I want. I think Chris was possessed by the spirit of Martha Stewart.

I am now going to eat some of the cupcakes I baked for the last day of work. They have sprinkles.
