So today is Halloween, in case you weren't aware. At work this morning, I pinned an "A" cut out of red fabric on my uniform. Very few people got it. My real costume for tonight will be a bit more recognizable, I hope.

On Friday I have an hour between the end of my shift and my only class of the day, so I was looking forward to chilling out and maybe reading the paper or something. My class had planned on making some hygiene kits today, though, and I had left the items I'd volunteered to bring at home.

*Sigh*

So I had to run home right after work to grab them. I was just going to head right back to campus, but I decided to check my email really quick first. Boy am I glad I did. My professor was not feeling well, and class was canceled! I mean, I'm sorry she's sick, but not that sorry. Weee! Now I can make billions of cookies for the awesome party tonight.

Also, as a Halloween treat, I give you this clip from 30 Rock:



You can listen to the whole thing here, if you like.

Guys, my sister Shannon is awesome. She is like the nerdiest internet bargain hunter in the world. She's always sending me emails telling me how to get free stuff, and it's usually legit. Well, today's free stuff was sooo easy, I knew I just had to share it with the world.

Go here, and enter your address, and they'll send you 8 sample chocolate truffles! With no other obligations what-so-ever. They don't even ask for an e-mail address to spam you. Weee!

But, she says it probably won't stay up long, so sign up quick.

Boring story to follow. My apologies.

As of last Thursday, my apartment has been without hot water. We emailed our managers Friday, but we didn't hear anything from them right away. So we suffered through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with very cold water. It's been rather annoying and inconvenient. I ended up boiling water to do the dishes. Also, cold showers are not all they are cracked up to be. The main thing is that they're cold. Wowie. Cold, cold, cold!

Well, Sunday, we dragged our home teachers over to look at the water heater. I didn't really think there was anything they could do, but at least we would feel like something was happening to fix it. They determined that the pilot light was out, and they relit it. Sure enough, we started to get some hot water again. Yay!

But, about an hour later, our manager finally came by and looked at it. Turns out, the pilot light had gone out again and there was definitely something wrong with the hot water heater. He said they'd have to get someone to come look at it. Bah!

I'm a little worried now because the guy just came to fix it, and after taking one look at it, he said, "Oh-ho-ho. This is ugly. This is ugly! This is ugly."

Not a good sign when it comes between me and a hot shower. Not a good sign at all. I'll keep you updated.
