just what I need

( cut for (vague) TMI )

Also... Ugh! Not only did the measuring cup that goes with my rice cooker get accidentally thrown away a couple of months ago, but now the metal bowl is bent and the cover doesn't fit on it quite right anymore! *huffs a bit* I really do need to look into getting a replacement rice cup, though, or at least find out exactly how much it was.
Okay, I just sent of a simple inquiry e-mail. However... I just realized that just because the cover fits, doesn't mean it'll keep in the steam. *worries a bit, wondering if maybe I should try to order a new bowl, too*

[EDIT: OMG, IF ONLY I HAD A KID!!!]

trying to figure out bus/train routes

*stabs the internet and my brain*
How hard can it be for me to create a file with all the transit information I'll need when I'm in Chicago? I keep on getting all confused and unsure of myself...
I'm just glad I've decided not to try to go to Mitsuwa, or it'd be hell. ^^;

Seriously, though, I have other things to do besides this. Like study. Or pack.
Also, why do I keep thinking it's Saturday?

one thing down, too many to go

I finally got all the bus routes I'll need filed away in a folder to transfer to my iPod.
I'll tell you, though, I'm definitely glad I found out about the visitor passes before I left, or I'd probably have never found out and ended up paying $20 or $30 on in-city transportation rather than the $9 it'll be with the two-day pass I'm planning on getting.

Things I still have to take care of:

• get dressed (I'm still in my bathrobe with a towel on my head
• rip the 合格できる CDs for use once I've left
• transfer 合格できる mp3s and logistics files to iPod
• pack clothes, toiletries, and study materials
• print out next week's Japanese schedule
• put anything into my bags that I'll need at school on Monday (stupid having work two hours after the bus arrives in Minneapolis - I wonder if I can get my parents to quick pick me up from the station Monday morning so I can do a quick swap...)
• go grocery shopping with the 'rents so I don't have to eat in any restaraunts while I'm gone
• go to a TCF ATM to get a little bit of money out of my savings
• put stuff on the downstairs couch that I won't need tonight
• get some studying in

Also, will someone please make my headache go away? I've been staring at this damn computer screen for far too long, me thinks.

just showing off

New icon love. ^_^

I added two others as well, if you're interested. Y'all know where to find 'em.

And with that, I am offically out of new icon space.
