Took the Secretary 2 test.  Had everything EXCEPT my freaking calculator, and of course there were a group of questions dealing with a chart with tons of figures in it. Most of what I had to do was addition, but I did have to guess on a few questions involving precentages and such. I am not good with those things. There was also a set of questions dealing with figuring out the pay of six employees based on their hours worked for a week. If I'm sticking with the state, there is no way I'll ever have to do that. Ever. There are specific people who do that, and they are not Secretary 2s. Those were Payroll Clerk questions, and I feel cheated.  ^^;

Spent the weekend with Nick. We really just hung out at his place, watched some old Simpsons and Andy Richter Controls the Universe episodes (damnit, Fox, stop killing good shows!). This morning he showed me Flatout, which I think I need to get. XD;; He also showed me Overlord, which I might get also. We actually might take a trip to the seaport to get it there, since they have it for $10 and Steam wants $50. If he has to work in the city for any reason this week, we'll probably meet that day... unless it's Friday, of course. Oh, and he let me play Animal Crossing. I already want to kill Nook, is that bad? =D Sadly, I did not get to see KK. I told Nick we never play Smashville in Brawl, and even if we did, we'd never play when KK's performing. We also talked about Mr. Resetti. We HAD to. Nick said he once pissed Resetti off so much, he rambled for 20 minutes. XD

Ordered my desk! It'll be here Tuesday if the delivery estimate is right. Need to take a trip to Ikea and start planning out how to change my room. The bed is staying, because I just got it. It's the drawers that need to go. There was a unit with storage overhead... we're thinking we could get that, take advantage of all the wall space I'm not using, and my drafting table could then stay pretty much where it is.

I was the first person up, which amuses me a bit. I'm already washed and dressed. I'm not in a rush to get home (although I do get to see Nick today), but I figured I was awake and it made no sense to go back to sleep when I'd probably get woken up ten minutes later. (That single thought kept me in a very shallow sleep for about twenty minutes before I finally got up.)

I can't remember if Mom has tomorrow off, and I dare not ask her. It might jog her memory and remind her that I took the day off. I took it, and I'm not taking it back, but I don't want the lecture. It gives me the opportunity to really work on cleaning my room, anyway. I'm planning on getting a new computer desk. My current one is more than ten years old and shakes when the printer's in use, and I want something shiny and sleek and pretty for my room. I'm a little worried I'll have to move everything around. (I still want that room setup I saw in Ikea. So pretty. Mom said we could redo my room, but... eee. And if I were going to go that far, I'd rather get my own place and furnish the bedroom with that furniture. ^^;)

Speaking of cleaning, Nick offered to help me. I told him he didn't want to do that. XD; He said it might help him start on his place, though. He's been living like a bachelor, and I think he wants to change that a bit. He called last week said he actually went grocery shopping. Being attached is changing both of us. I actually found myself looking at dresses online and liking them, and not minding the thought of wearing some of them. (Stayed away from pink, of course. I draw the line at pink.)

I haven't journaled in a few days. We went to Howe Caverns on Friday. It was awesome. We took a guided tour down to an underground lake and rode a boat out to the end of the conditioned part of the cave. (They're planning on expanding it.) Next time I go, I want to do the adventure tour, which involves crawling and flashlights and getting all muddy. XD Also mined for gemstones and found some really nice pieces of amethyst and quartz, and about sixteen pieces of pyrite. The trip reminded me how much I loved Geology while I was in Brooklyn College. Easily the most fun science I've taken. Pictures of the caverns may follow if I can get some from the parents, because my camera sucks for that sort of thing. I need a better one. Image stabilization, please.

Oh, and Beano came over! We haven't seen him in forever since he got a girlfriend. I missed his randomness. Craig's friend Tim (who needs other friends, damnit) is a whiny crybaby when we're playing Halo, so it was nice to have Beano around to have fun with. Beano doesn't care if he loses.

Haha, Craig just woke up and stared at my bed for a couple seconds until I said something, looked over at me, said "bye-bye", and threw the covers over his head. XDDD
