Been a while since I did one of these, but here's a basic rundown of the last week:
Finally got the third recommendation for the UNC scholarship from the English professor, and mailed it off after I made copies. It was a very flattering letter, and I'm glad I got him to write me one despite how long it took (and the delay was mostly my fault anyway).
Also got all the car stuff done, including the insurance and State inspections done today at a new place called Auto Express. Route 9 Auto also paid the fee for me, so I didn't even have to shell out any cash for that and have gotten that off my plate. The car itself has been working out well, and I think the name Hotaru will stick, as it seems to have her temperament. I like how it drives (very smooth and nice acceleration), though the first time the power steering kicked in it scared the crap out of me. ^_^;
Turned in my change jar today at the Coin Star machine in the Big Y and got almost $40 from it. Also found a bunch of foreign coins in there, such as a Mexican peso and what I think is a Bulgarian coin. I then turned around and bought a $1 scratch ticket just because I now can, being over 18... and promptly won $1 on it. *shrug* So no loss, no gain. Works for me.
It's also gotten pretty cold around here, so we started up a fire in the wood stove. Certainly does the trick in taking the edge off.
