Katie. Oh! And Daniel Too!

So I won't lie the weekend started off pretty crappy. About two weeks ago (Oct. 7th (Happy Birthday mom!)) I took my Iphone in to Apple because since July or so my phone hadn't been able to connect to WiFi, I didn't really think much of it (obviously since I went 3 months without fixing it) but eventually got around to taking it in to have it looked at. I thought that it would be a simple fix, but apparently that just goes to show how little I know. They handed me a brand new Iphone and sent me on my way. On Thursday (Oct. 15th) we had some issues with AT&T (ugh!) and they somehow managed to to mess up my 3G network (meaning it disappeared). So Friday (Oct. 16th) I was able to get that fixed (while at work, and on my break... Oops:) AND THEN... it started acting CRAZY! So crazy that on the way home from work (which was a really long night, I got there at 5 and was scheduled till 9:30 but we didn't get out of there till like 10ish... the store was a disaster! and people make me crazy!) I almost through the darn thing out the window. It was freezing, it wouldn't let me slide to unlock the dumb thing, and then it turned itself off, and started restarting, it was insane. This continued all weekend long. The obnoxious thing about Apple is to get anything fixed, you have to call and make an appointment (which I understand, I guess, they want to be able to give you quality customer service or whatever..) So I wasn't able to get an appointment until today at 4:15, where they had to give me ANOTHER phone. (sigh) Hopefully this will be my last Iphone for a while.

Saturday started off good, I was able to go and get my hair cut, and then to run some errands for my mom since she was unable to (she worked from like 11-8 or something crazy. I also got to spend time with the Richman family (Scott, Kim, and Leah) which was fun, Daniel and I haven't seen them in a LONG time. We used to go over to there house at least once a week... and then school started. Sami, Daniel and I went out to dinner at Subway, and then later that evening Sami, Kim and I drove around for half an hour trying to find the Albertson's redbox that had our movie reserved. We watched The Proposal. (Really cute movie, Ryan Reynolds is hilarious, and the great Sandra Bullock was great as always. We didn't get home till around 1:30 or so.

Sunday was a pretty good day. I'm the CTR 5 primary teacher, and I LOVE IT! The highlight of my day was being able to see family which I hadn't seen in a long time. My Uncle Craig (or cookie cake, which is what I called him as a kid... silly) my Aunt Susie, and they're adorable daughter came up to surprise visit (just for the weekend) my Grandma. (Those of you who don't know, my grandma has been in and out of the hospital quite often these last two months... with a case of dizzy spells, Doctors still aren't quite sure what's going on) It was REALLY good to see them. I honestly think that the last time I was able to see them was my wedding, so two years ago. (They actually came up for New Years Eve 2007, but Daniel and I were in Disneyland). We ate awesome Chinese food, and just talked and played games. I really love being able to spend time with family, especially family you haven't seen in awhile. It's so crazy though, my cousin Catalina looks a lot like my cousin Amber... Who I was also able to see last night. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see either of my Aunts who live here, as one is very sick... and I'm not sure what Aunt Melanie was doing...? I'm really hoping that Daniel and I will be able to go down to California and be able to visit the Good's sometime in the near future, as it was soo good to see them, and it has clearly been to long!

Today I Daniel and I had our first midterm tests, K=Sociology, D=Chemistry. Daniel has two more this week, one in Biology and another in Economics. I on the other hand only have one, a paper due on Friday, and a music midterm next Wednesday, which will be SO easy it's ridiculous. For my master's program I have to take some required classes, and one of them is Fundamentals of Music, and it's basically a joke. (To me, not to brag but I am quite musically inclined.) I'm going to talk to the Professor during my midterm (part of it is one on one kind of stuff) and see if there is any way that I can test out of the class, and maybe stay on as a teacher's aid or something...

Well... That's basically the update for the weekend. :) Tootles.
